RAID: World War II, the cooperative first-person shooter developed by Lion Game Lion (a Croatian studio founded from OVERKILL), will launch on September 26th for PC via Steam while PlayStation 4 and Xbox One gamers will have to wait for October.
Ilija Petrusic, Game Director at Lion Game Lion and former Co-Founder of OVERKILL as well as Lead Designer of PAYDAY and its sequel, said:
The goal in RAID: World War II is simple - sabotage, assassinate and pulverize everything bearing a swastika – mess with Hitler and steal his treasures.
