The Wraith Ops FPS demo launched on Steam with developers promising "no battle pass, no FOMO, no gacha" mechanics. The release represents a return to pure gameplay and fair progression systems, contrasting with monetization-heavy modern shooters.
- The game is being developed by Grassrootz Studio and published by Team17, known for titles like *Hell Let Loose*. - *Wraith Ops* has been in development for a long time, with its social channels appearing in 2019 and an early demo under its former name, 'Project Wraith', listed on Steam as far back as August 2021. - The narrative centers on two rival private military companies, Aegis Industries and Volga Battalion, competing to recover parts of a Cold War experiment called "Project Wraith". - The current demo, part of Steam Next Fest, features a 6v6, one-life game mode called Arena, which is playable across three maps: Airfield, Mall, and Submarine. - Developers noted that 876 bug fixes and adjustments were made between the game's Gamescom demo in August 2025 and the current release. - The full game is planned to launch with an arsenal of more than 60 weapons, which can be customized with various attachments, camos, and perks. - Gameplay features include a dynamic weather system, a realistic damage model with an emphasis on headshots, and immersive audio designed to make pinpointing sounds easier. - The full release date has not yet been announced.
