The story so far...

"Darkness covers your approach as you alight on the riverbank. Swiftly, you hide the boat and shoulder your gear. The mission is clear: capture or kill your target; rendezvous at the extraction point; get out. You have two days. Nodding to your team, you set off toward the glowing lights of Vaillant."

War Story: Occupied France can be played by one player or six of you can come together to explore World War II occupied France. You will need to work together to deal with the German Officer, Erich Leichenberg who is looking to clean out the French Resistance from Morette.

The game features three replayable story missions where you will use your special skills to uncover information, enlist allies and obtain weapons. You can then engage enemy forces on a tactical encounter map and you'll always need to be ready to change your plans as the enemy isn't a pushover!

This all sounds very intriguing and seems like it's going to be a mix between puzzle/escape room-style games and more tactical games like Undaunted. It certainly has some good names involved with it including Dave Neale and David Thompson.
