The 15-minute-long video was captured during a pre-alpha playtest and showcases the game’s casual Team Deathmatch mode and Manor House map. Although many will be excited to finally see some substantial footage of the game, Bulkhead were keen to stress that Battalion 1944 is still very much a work in progress and many of animations, visuals and HUD icons are just placeholders while the team focusses on getting the gameplay just right.
Bulkhead, who recently partnered up with Square Enix for publishing assistance, have been “completely and utterly rebuilding the unreal engine” in order to ensure Battalion 1944 moves and feels like an old-school FPS, with 1 to 1 movement and aiming mechanics.

“Battalion has always been about bringing back the 'feel' of classic shooters which peaked in the era of the early CoD titles,” said Howard Philpott, Creative Producer at Bulkhead Interactive.

“This is what Battalion is aiming to recapture from that era. True skill based mechanics to allow players who are good at the game to push the skill ceiling higher. We miss those classic FPS days before unlocks/killstreaks. These classic games were by no means bad, they've just not been remade for the current generation yet.”

A closed alpha will be available on PC this May to select backers and those who pre-ordered through Steam/Humble, and the game will also be making an appearance at this weekend’s EGX Rezzed event.
