Free Content Update Launches December 14th!
After countless hours of waging war in the fields and streets of Europe, Day of Infamy, the hardcore WWII shooter from the creators of Insurgency, is bringing the fight indoors with their latest content release featuring Germany’s heavily-fortified flak towers.
The Day of Infamy free Flakturm content update launches today, Thursday December 14, and will be followed by a Steam flash sale the same day at our lowest price ever; $4.99 USD or 75% off.
Players that are new to Day of Infamy can expect to experience hardcore World War II First-Person Shooter combat in both player versus player and cooperative game modes, with an emphasis on teamwork-oriented objectives and high lethality gunplay. Call in fire support, secure objectives, and push the line forward using more than 60 iconic WWII weapons, nine specialized player classes and 33 historic units of the US Army, British Commonwealth, and German Wehrmacht.
The Free Update includes:
- New Map “Flakturm VII” – A new level features a massive, ominous anti-aircraft structure built to defend German cities from allied bombers. Players must battle and ascend through the interior of the heavily fortified structure to capture objectives and push the enemy team’s back against the wall.
- New Feature “Droppable Items” – Some classes can now help supply their team by dropping items like ammo pouches, aiding their fellow soldiers in the heat of battle.
- New Feature “64-bit” – Upgrading the Source engine from 32-bit to 64-bit improves stability and performance for most modern systems. Modders should also see a benefit with more available memory pools.
“I was searching for a unique setting at the time to build a map around. We’ve had many maps that involve the traversal of urban areas, plains, hills and forests. I was hoping to find a location that would offer something new. In one of the fan-managed Day of Infamy Discord servers I spotted people posting some images of the flak tower in Augarten and it caught my eye. I imagined a level that involves mostly the interiors of a cylindrical tower; moving up a massive building instead of crossing the farmlands. The gameplay contrast is huge when compared to our existing collection of maps. And it’s a night map, the first one in Day of Infamy’s official lineup so far.” —Christiaan Bakker, Day of Infamy Lead Developer – New World Interactive
