Made with one goal in mind - beautiful, fun gameplay, developer Grassrootz Studio are getting rid of as many frustrating elements of modern FPS games. Focused purely on infantry combat, expect constant action. Zero anti-consumer nonsense.

Remember the golden era?

Welcome back to the roots of what made gaming fun.

Project Wraith's main goal is to bring together objective-based gameplay with a focus on teamwork, fast movement, snappy combat and more realistic/tactical features loved by many. Learning from its peers, we believe that realistic features and gameplay elements can work not only by putting obstacles in your way but by helping you overcome them, enhance the experience and improve your immersion.

Team17 Digital announced that they’re working with UK based Grassrootz Studio which will see Team17 Digital publish Project Wraith. This team-up is one that strongly adheres to both companies’ ethos of offering developers an unrestricted means of creating games that above all, are one's players truly enjoy diving into. 

Ann Hurley, General Manager, Team17 Digital, said: "Project Wraith perfectly aligns with Team17 Digital’s mission to deliver engaging gaming experiences worldwide. The dedicated team in the UK is infusing passion and creativity into their debut title. FPS enthusiasts, get ready to immerse yourself in the magic they're creating.”  

Dominik Seifert, Game Director, Grassrootz Studio, said: “Teaming up with Team 17 on this Project was a no-brainer for us. Having a publisher with such a good track record of passion and care for the FPS genre has been a blessing. We needed a partner that understands what we are trying to do, and I’m glad to say we found it. It’s been a while since we’ve played an FPS shooter, set in the modern combat landscape that felt just right, and that’s what we aim to offer with Project Wraith."

Two Playstyles:

• Casual / Soft More forgiving, more arcady. Medics will be able to revive you, your health and stamina will regenerate, your HUD will be there for you and it will be easier to identify teammates.
• Wraith / Hardcore Incoming damage is increased, your class choice matters more and health and stamina regeneration is much slower and you may require stimulants to replenish those faster. Your HUD is no longer there, all main actions are performed physically by your character. You will have to rely on visual identification, comms and teamwork, to identify hostile players, there are no second chances.

Game Modes:

• Team Deathmatch
• Area Defense
• Hostage Extraction
• Capture The Flag
• Search and Destroy
• Domination

Additional/Planned Game Modes: Gun Game, Arena Mode, Versus 1V1,2V2, Bastion.

Project Wraith will offer an arsenal of more than 60 weapons of various firepower, types and sizes on release! On release, you will be able to adjust and customize your weapons with various attachments (sights. muzzle devices, gadgets, camos, perks) that affect weapon handling and other stats, with more in-depth weapon customization coming later in Y1.

To avoid the outdated 4 load-outs system and offer the player an almost unlimited amount of presets, each player will have 6 favourite slots, these slots will be primary slots showcased for customization and on the deploy screen, the player can amend which presets are favourite at any time.

When creating your loadout, you will be able to craft your perfect operator preset from the following options:

• Primary, Secondary & Melee weapons
• Throwables (Offensive, Defensive & Tactical)
• Stimulants & Class resupply box
• Clothing, Gear, Camouflage & Patches
• Perks, Class Perk, Weapon Perk
• Special Gestures, Nightvision & Tablet

In Project Wraith, there are two competing factions. Aegis Industries and Volga Battalion. Both Private Military Companies are tasked with achieving the same goal, investigating and retrieving remnants of a Cold War research project codenamed “Project Wraith”. Intel about their goal is scarce, but hints gathered by either side will take you to various places around the world. We aim to let you fight in as many locations as possible, but some locations may come later after release.
