Apparently so
Years ago, World War II shooters were everywhere. Then the bubble burst. Activision, EA, and all the pretenders trained their sights on more contemporary settings, quickling transitioning series likeCall of Duty,Medal of Honor, andBattlefieldaway from their 1940s roots and into the 21st century.
That exodus has created something of a vacuum, oneBulkhead Interactive, the developer behindPneuma: Breath of Life, is eager to fill. Last Tuesday, the studio announcedBattalion 1944, the sort of game that would have been ignored a decade ago, on Kickstarter with hopes of raising £100,000.
But times have clearly changed. The crowdfunding effort surpassed its initial goal in just three days, proving even the most timeworn trends will come back into style if you wait long enough.
Bulkhead aims to releaseBattalion 1944on Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation 4 by May 2017.
