Battalion: Legacy (Previously called Battalion 1944) is a free-to play World War II first-person arcade shooter developed by Bulkhead Interactive. The game was funded via a successful Kickstarter campaign in February 2016 and released in Early Access in 1st of February 2018 for PC as Battalion 1944 and fully released on May 23rd, 2019. A promised console version of the game was subsequently cancelled to great controversy, and on August 9th, 2022, the game was made free-to-play and rebranded Battalion: Legacy.
Set on the Western and Eastern fronts of the Second World War, players play as the United States, Commonwealth, USSR, and Wehrmacht forces. Battalion: Legacy's gameplay is inspired by fast paced multiplayer games such as the Counter-Strike series and puts gameplay before realism and historical accuracy. Each faction has their own exclusive loadouts.
