If you’ve been feeling a bit burnt out by modern shooters filled with neon skins, confusing battle passes, and movement that feels like everyone is on roller skates, Wraith Ops (formerly Project Wraith) is calling your name. Published by Team17 and developed by Grassrootz Studio, this game is a deliberate “back-to-basics” love letter to the golden era of tactical shooters like Battlefield 3 and early Call of Duty.
The message from the devs is loud and clear: Pure infantry action. No gimmicks.
Core Philosophy: A Return to Form
Wraith Ops isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel; it’s trying to fix it. The game is built on a “community-first” foundation, emphasising tactical depth over monetisation. Here is what you won’t find:
- No Battle Passes or FOMO-driven grinds.
- No immersion-breaking cosmetics (you won’t see any pink bunny suits here).
- No Loot Boxes or pay-to-win mechanics.
Key Features & Gameplay
The game focuses on snappy gunplay and objective-based combat. It’s gritty, atmospheric, and prioritises skill.
| Feature | Details |
| Arsenal | Over 60 weapons at launch with realistic ballistics. |
| Customization | Deep weapon attachment system and authentic military gear. |
| Damage Model | Fast Time-to-Kill (TTK) where headshots are lethal and rewarded. |
| Classes | Three distinct roles: Assault, Specialist, and Heavy. |
| Weather | A dynamic weather system that can change the flow of a match instantly. |
Game Modes
While the game supports larger-scale tactical play, it also offers tighter, competitive experiences:
- Overlord (12v12): Large-scale, objective-driven warfare.
- Arena (6v6): A high-stakes, one-life mode recently featured in the Steam Next Fest demo.
- Gun Game & Team Deathmatch: Classic modes for those who want pure shooting practice.
Release Date & Platforms
After years of development and a successful rebranding in 2025, the finish line is in sight.
Planned Launch: March 12, 2026
Platform: PC via Steam
The developers recently released an updated demo featuring three maps—Airfield, Mall, and Submarine—boasting nearly 900 bug fixes and tweaks based on community feedback. If you missed the demo, you can still head over to Steam to wishlist the game and keep an eye on the next playtest.
