Release date revealed for ‘Razvedka: 1944’ — a Russian tactics game about a squad in East Prussia

News

Translated with AI from the Russian original.

A demo of the game was previously released on digital services.

Recently, the studio Varangs, which is developing the real-time tactics game “Razvedka: 1944” (or Red Recon: 1944 in English localization), announced the results of a contest. The developers asked players to try to guess the project's release date — they determined two winners who will receive a free copy of the game.

If nothing changes, “Razvedka: 1944” will be released on February 18, 2027. The date was not chosen at random — the developers explained that on this day in 1945 in East Prussia, near the town of Mehlsack, the commander of the 3rd Belorussian Front, General of the Army Ivan Danilovich Chernyakhovsky, was mortally wounded:

Despite the immense scale of strategic tasks, Chernyakhovsky had enormous respect for the fighters of the “invisible front” — military scouts and sabotage groups whose work paved the way for the advancing armies. The commander personally briefed the scouts before they were deployed behind the front line.

In “Razvedka: 1944”, the developers will invite players to step into the shoes of the commander of a Soviet scout team deployed into East Prussia in the autumn. They will have to gather intelligence to deliver precise strikes against enemy forces in the run-up to the Red Army's offensive.
