RAID Content highlight – “Operation: Rhinegold”

Below all the screenshots you will find the change log from end of beta. Its things that the community has reported and wanted, we have listened and fixed and added a bunch of stuff! You will find the change log at the bottom of the announcement.

It's the sixth and final day of our map highlight! We have really enjoyed sharing this with you and we can’t wait to let you people play it and hear your opinions on it.


Spanning several missions, the RAID Gang get an emergency message to save a resistance spy and have to act fast to save him.
Their actions lead to the unravelling of an undercover plot by the Nazi war machine which the RAID Gang must now unwind. We hope you will enjoy it :)

So.. we are launching tomorrow and it with a mixture feelings that we are writing this, right now we are crunching hard.
We are tired but at the same time really happy and looking forward to tomorrow so much!
As a game developer you give away a lot of your free time, you lock yourself in, work day and night and rarely get to see the sunlight but it’s ALL worth it once you get to show your game to the players.
That is the reward as a game developer.

Also tomorrow is the last day of the Pre-Order bonus so if you are interested in receiving the exclusive army crate with lots of goodies and the Pre-Order discount you have one day left :)
