Shortly thereafter, the protagonist and the partisans found out about the secret plans of the Nazis. Hitler's troops are preparing to conduct a kind of "Operation Kraken", which will allow them to win the Second World War even before the Allies begin to actively recapture Europe. Fairbairn and the Resistance must learn more about the secret intentions of the Nazis and stop them from getting things done.

The campaign will feature realistic environments created using photogrammetry, a variety of missions, and co-op. When playing together, users will be able to exchange ammunition and various items, as well as heal comrades.

The game will improve shooting and ways to move around locations. The developers will add sliding on the slopes and descending the ropes. And during firing, you will have to take into account the parameters of the butt and barrel, gravity, pulse, and wind.

The project will receive wide customization of weapons. It will be possible to change many parts and choose a certain type of ammunition. Intrusion mode is also worth mentioning. Players will be able to interfere with each other's missions by transforming into Axis snipers.
