Squad 44 (formerly Post Scriptum) is a 2018 tactical first-person shooter video game developed by the Canadian studio Offworld Industries alongside the British studio Mercury Arts,[1][2][3] and published by Offworld Industries. It is set during World War II, specifically during the Operation Market Garden, Battle of France, Battle of Crete, Operation Overlord, and the Battle of the Bulge. The game features several playable factions — the United States Army, British Army, Polish Armed Forces in the West, French Army, Wehrmacht, Waffen-SS, Australian Army, New Zealand Military Forces, and the Hellenic Army — with some of them having multiple different playable units.
Development
It was initially developed as a mod for Offworld Industries' Squad, with Post Scriptum becoming its own standalone game by the French[4] studio Periscope Games with assistance from their publisher, Offworld Industries. It released on 9 August 2018 through video game distributor Steam.[5][6]
On November 20, 2023 Offworld Industries announced the acquisition of Post Scriptum. Offworld Industries revealed it will be working with Mercury Arts on the game. Offworld also said it is working on a 2024 roadmap of updates that will be shared with the community at a later time[2] On December 14, 2023 the game was rebranded to Squad 44.[7][1]
