World War 3 is coming to Steam in Fall 2018, first official details and first screenshots

Last week, we informed you about World War 3; a new multiplayer FPS from the creators of Get Even and Painkiller: Hell & Damnation. And today, The Farm 51 has revealed its first official details, alongside its first screenshots.

World War 3 is described as a multiplayer military FPS set in a modern, global conflict. The game will feature strong teamplay, national armed forces, real locations, full body awareness and a versatile customization system, as well as a robust ballistic system, advanced armors and life-like weapons.

According to its official website, World War 3 presents a modern conflict with tactics, techniques and procedures inspired by true combat engagements, all of this packed into two exciting game modes. Warzone offers opportunities for dynamic, intense firefights in teamwork-focused battles of infantry and armored units over fortified points. The tactically-oriented Recon allows players to cooperate within small reconnaissance squads left on their own to survive and capture high-value targets in hostile territory. Together these modes aim to create a coherent gameplay experience aimed at presenting the actual feel of modern warfare.

World War 3 is heavily grounded in military realism, offering accurate depictions of weapons, uniforms and equipment of national armed forces. All of it to inspire you to make the war effort personal and prove that your country is the dominant force on the battlefield. All maps are based on real-life locations such as the streets of Warsaw, Berlin and Moscow (more locations planned) recreated with an unprecedented attention to detail.

To show consequences of every battle, player performance is rewarded with resources used to conquer or defend a territory. Players will gain additional bonuses via the metagame and turn the tide of war. Every destroyed vehicle, every kill, every bullet fired, every achievement affects the big picture presented on a constantly evolving, interactive war map eventually covering the entire planet.

The game will be coming to Steam in Fall 2018, and you can find below its first official screenshots and its announcement trailer!

      1. Why? Things are going fine, who we gonna go to war with? North korea is stepping down, Putin is minding his own business, Trump is not a war monger, what on earth you talking about? Its more probable to have a sacred war against islam than a world war.

        1. Plenty sadly, but i really dont feel like going into detail, just the amount of money they put into new war machines, AI, and body armor for soldiers.. pff. Money that can be used for other purposes, and the list can keep going..

          For a peaceful world, we sure spend a ton of military research and armies… even if we cant afford it and we actually got better things to use the money on.. (thats the sad part i guess?) Heck, my country spends like 60% of the income just for the military, and we badly need that kind of money elsewhere, but again.. go go military in the good old age of peace. Calm before the storm? Probably not, but it sure looks like it.

          Again, this is just the TIP, there’s a ton more, but whatevr ;p Countries fight and hate each other all the time, everywhere on this planet.

          1. How about being killed by a bomb or being killed by a Islamic terrorist ?

      2. Something globally and way sinister than world war is going to happen in the extremely near future, just keep looking at the sky.

        1. You’ve got me curious what you are referring too. I can’t think of anything worse than WWIII if the nukes start to fly. It would pretty much be the end of civilization in a matter of minutes and possibly the end of humans eventually.

          1. To be fair, he broke character the moment he posted a single letter. Gordon doesn’t talk.

        2. You looking at the sun all the time has led to brain damage Gordon. Work on finishing HL3’s story arch and less on C-Grade drama.

      3. Yea, i kind of do, it will be a shame but it is in our nature. Making money is great, but we still also love to fight and show whos the strongest. We still cant solve old problems and forget old hatreds .

    1. uh ? You expect to learn that from a video game website ? Maybe try to relax a little, you seem quite tense

  1. The screenshots are in 21:9 format, so I guess Ultrawide support is confirmed. That is like music to my ears when I want to buy a game these days.

    1. BF is Arcade style sh*t now, this says it “military realism” so more like Squad and insurgency style so plz..

      1. What are you saying? Have you seen the Battlefield V trailer? EA and their army of shills in games “journalism” are saying that Battlefield is going for historical World War 2 realism and if you disagree you are a filthy misogynist, surely you don’t want to be a misogynist, right?

    1. Did you read the article?

      the VERY first sentence…
      “Last week, we informed you about World War 3; a new multiplayer FPS from the creators of Get Even and Painkiller: Hell & Damnation.”

      and then in first sentence of the 2nd paragraph…
      “World War 3 is described as a multiplayer military FPS set in a modern, global conflict.”

    1. It looks exactly like BF3 before downgrades. Look at early BF3 footage (singleplayer). Back when it had natural colors and a lighting system last-gen couldn’t handle it looked very much like this trailer.

  2. yo something fallout related is coming up. it was kind of obvious from announcement of rage to be released in 2019. bethesda studios cooking up something. (hope it’s not new vegas 2 or if it is, i hope that’s what josh sawyer teased on twitter which confirms obsidian’s involvement at least.)

  3. Off-topic:

    Some heart-warming news to see a memorial fund having been set up to help provide for the family of the late John ‘Totalbiscuit’ Bain. It’s currently raised over $218,000.

    1. I bet TB took precautions to protect his family. But yeah lets help them, i am disgusted at the hammer and sickle 32 gender antifa sjws on twitter enjoying his death, let alone bioware and ea devs.

      1. I can only repeat what’s stated on the page,

        “John’s family Genna & Orion are faced with short and long term challenges around housing, living expenses, income security, medical care, and the special needs of Orion (their son).

        I have personally talked to Genna. She knows and is very appreciative of anyone showing their support. Genna is the only person who can withdrawl from this gofundme.”

        To your other point re: trolls then little do they realise that their actions serve only to highlight how correct John was on most things and how emotionally triggered they were and still are by him. Put another way, their trolling is an inadvertent tribute to him.

          1. Mostly because he took a pro-consumer stance on the gaming industry which saw him express some support for the aims of the Gamergate movement. As we all know, SJWs and much of the liberal-dominated mainstream gaming sites hated on Gamergate so that made Totalbiscuit an enemy to them.

            That said, due to some of John’s subsequent actions not having been wholly agreeable to some in the Gamergate movement he’s also attracted some vitriolic bile from them in his death. The majority of the attention-seeking trolling has come from the SJWs though.

          2. They are not making fun of him they are spitting venom at him wishing he was alive again so he can die again. They libel him and slander him and say that the world is a better place now that he is dead and it served him right.

            Why? Because he dared support gamergate and be pro ethics.

            We see something similar going on right now with mainstream journalists who compare Elon Musk to Trump and Gamergate for wanting to create a site that will keep in check how ethical journalists are, which is what gamergate did as well.

            It was always about ethics because these people are unethical so unethical to slander anyone who doesnt bow down to them, they hate being held accountable for the damage they caused.

            That being said you should never attack the dead, because they dead they cant tell you to F off or beat you up. So never attack the dead. They cant fight back.

          3. Seems like there is always some activist group trying to change things just because. Sometimes it makes no sense at all to me. Like the Boy Scouts accepting girls now and can’t call themselves Boy Scouts anymore. Now they are Scouts BSA. When I was growing up I was in the Boy Scouts. No one questioned why girls weren’t allowed. It was common sense that there should be a Boy Scouts club and a Girl Scouts club. What will the Girl Scouts have to do next? Start accepting boys and change their name too? What is the point of any of this?

      2. If what you say is true, then it really hurts to know why people are enjoying the death of some individual who was well known within the gaming industry ?

        That’s kind of inhuman treatment given to someone. Even EA and Bioware Devs ?

        Even though I’m NOT familiar with Bain’s YouTube channel, it’s sad to know someone of his caliber/talent has passed away.

        1. What you mean if what i say is true, google it, or youtube it there are plenty of videos, articles not so much ,dont forget who runs the media, people who hate tb and gamergate.

          “That’s kind of inhuman treatment given to someone. Even EA and Bioware Devs ?”

          One of them was convicted for pedophilia if i am not mistaken, these social justice types have entire freaking graveyards in their closets. it doenst suprise me anymore, i just expect that they are horrible people and this is why they act the way they act, to cover up the fact they are monsters. The other was canadian developer who was mad that tb criticized games for their graphics and perfomance, funny thing is he worked on andromeda and battlefront 2, both of them disasters. Says alot about who hates criticism.

        1. Exactly. They don’t know what they’re talking about. It seems people get too caught up in crying over the death of someone they never knew, and someone who wouldn’t care about them if they met in person. To the point where they can’t see logically what a POS crybaby TB SJW was. His content was terrible, but that’s my opinion on the last part, the rest is FACT.

      3. SJW’s aren’t the only ones celebrating his death. He was in fact a POS and I live everyday happier and go to bed more fully rested knowing he is no longer with us. His content was not good, his commentary worthy of a medal if the special Olympics accepted video creators. He was the human equivalent of a dog turd. Thankfully forgotten already, give it another 8 days and Total Who?

  4. This game is going to be a huge hit. We’re dying for a new multiplayer shooter that isn’t infested with pozzed SJW garbage.

    1. I woudlnt bet on that, the devs are pretty bad. I doubt they can make a good mp game. Netcode aint easy.

      1. very true, game looks pretty awesome, but sadly i dont have faith in the Farm51 pulling it off.

      2. The devs aren’t “bad”. They’ve actually released a game in the past. A game that got great reviews. And your netcode comment is ignorant. The engine they use already has all the requirements for netcode. All a dev has to do is set the parameters of replication on things they want replicated on the server. Like health, damage, physics etc.

  5. With no actual gameplay footage, because whatever that was in the trailer was extremely polished, I’m a bit skeptical. But this could very well be the next Battlefield for me. Considering the direction DICE/EA has decided to take with BF-V, the franchise is pretty much done for.

  6. Interesting to see in these pictures: German Leopard 2-A3 tank in Kremlin/Moscow and Russian T-90 tank at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
    When two actors will go at war,the third actor will win(chinese?).

    I really hope this game is not a Cod clone.

  7. I wish them luck. The concept seems really exciting and ambitious but I’m afraid Farm 51 won’t manage to pull it off.
