Developer Misultin Studios and publisher MicroProse have announced the Early Access release date for its upcoming tactical FPS EXFIL. Microprose is renowned for its legacy in military and strategy gaming and for its next release, it is jumping into the world of tactical first-person shooters with EXFIL. EXFIL will enter Early Access on December 11, 2024, offering a fresh take on multiplayer combat that blends realism with creative sandbox gameplay.
Created by a talented four-person team, including three former senior developers from the Squad franchise, EXFIL promises an immersive experience for up to 32 players. Divided into four teams of eight, you can engage in a variety of game modes tailored to competitive PvP, cooperative missions, and dynamic PvE scenarios. From the outset, the game emphasizes customization, allowing you to shape your tactical adventures across six expansive, handcrafted maps featuring industrial zones, dense forests, and military camps.
Check out the official Early Access Release Date Announcement Trailer for EXFIL below:
Key modes available at launch include Classic Extraction, where teams compete to secure vital intel and escape, and Rogue Extraction, an asymmetric challenge that pits a small team of rogue operatives against a larger opposing force. If you are a fan of tactical shooters like Rainbow Six Siege or Escape From Tarkov, you will be familiar with much of the mechanics.
True to its commitment to realism, EXFIL incorporates features that elevate the combat experience. Fully simulated bullet physics accounts for trajectory, velocity, and environmental factors like material penetration and ricochets. Dynamic environments introduce challenges such as shifting weather patterns, 24-hour day-night cycles, and conditions like fog, rain, and sandstorms, requiring you to adapt your strategies. An extensive arsenal, including deployable traps, throwable gadgets, and night vision gear, ensures you have the tools you need for any mission.
Community engagement is central to the development of EXFIL which is evident from its Early Access release. With its engaging Discord community providing feedback, Misultin Studios is aiming to shape the game based on player input. The Early Access phase will prioritize polishing core gameplay in extraction modes, with plans for future features such as a scenario editor, NPC integration, and global stat tracking.
Chris Ansell, Chief Marketing Officer at MicroProse, highlighted the partnership’s potential: “At MicroProse, we aim to push the boundaries of tactical and strategic gaming. Collaborating with Misultin Studios, EXFIL combines their innovative approach with our legacy of excellence to create an exceptional, evolving player experience.”
A Steam page for EXFIL is now live where you can add the game to your wishlist and jump into its Early Access release on December 11, 2024. You can expect the game to expand and enhance during its Early Access release as it receives updates. The developer will share details about future details at a later point.
