Evaluation

RAID: World War II has been receiving sustained, substantive development well past its 2017 launch, driven by a small volunteer team originally called M.U.G Team, now rebranded as Sidetrack Games after a partnership with publisher Starbreeze was announced on October 21, 2025. Four major content updates have shipped since August 2024: the sweeping Resurgence overhaul (August 1, 2024), the Tricky Treats Halloween event (October 24, 2024), the Full Stop RAID adding a brand-new mission (February 13, 2025), and the Bounty Blitz update introducing daily bounties, new game modes, and a new weapon (June 26, 2025). This establishes a cadence of roughly 2–5 months between major releases. The October 21, 2025 developer post (the most substantive recent communication) confirmed the team is still actively working on features teased earlier — specifically new Berlin missions with overhauled level loading logic and a new settings menu. The post also expressed optimism about having more resources available under the new Starbreeze partnership. A hotfix on October 24, 2025 kept the team's communication current at that point. As of today (October 8, 2026), the last developer communication was October 24, 2025 — nearly a year ago. The established cadence between major updates has been 2–5 months, meaning the current silence well exceeds the typical release window. However, the August 1, 2025 retrospective post explicitly listed several features in active development (Berlin mission rework, camp rework, card crafting, options menu rework), and the October 2025 post reaffirmed work was continuing on those same features. No end-of-development statement has ever been made. The team also acknowledged in August 2025 that their limited time and resources cause irregular and extended development gaps — this pattern of long silences between updates is consistent with their historical behavior (e.g., the Resurgence update took over a year of work before shipping). The silence since October 2025 is notable but consistent with the team's established pattern of going quiet during extended development periods. No studio closure, funding loss, or completion announcement has been made.

Year-in-review post explicitly lists features in active development: Berlin mission rework, camp rework, card crafting, radio tuning minigame, and options menu rework. States 'more stuff is in active development, with the hope that we'll be able to provide more content in the near future.'

About this game

RAID: World War II is an action-packed four player cooperative shooter set in Europe during World War II, where your aim is to thwart the Nazi onslaught. Four prisoners of war – Sterling, Rivet, Kurgan and Wolfgang have been freed by “Mrs. White,” a secret British Intelligence Operative, who needs someone to take down Hitler and his Third Reich once and for all. Their objective is to fight the war - without rules or mercy. Their reward is all the Nazi gold they can carry.

THE RAID GANG - For glory, but mostly for money.

Our four heroes are drawn from the main combatants in the European theater of World War II - Great Britain, USA, Germany and the Soviet Union. Each character has their own look with fully customizable uniforms making you stand out on the battlefield.

CLASSES - Play it your way

Choose from four different classes each with their own unique sets of playstyles and weapons.

Pick off your enemies with precision as Recon, drown the Jerries in lead as Assault, soak up bullets as Insurgent, or blow everyone to smithereens as Demolitions.

Unleash your Warcry- powerful abilities that buff you and your allies to help you turn the tide of battle.

MISSIONS - Burn the enemy alive!

Raid places of historic importance across war-torn Europe. From the mighty Flakturm dominating the heart of Berlin, or the idyllic Bridge over the river Elbe, bring destruction to Nazis in every corner of Hitler’s Reich.

Find secret documents to unlock special Outlaw Raids, where you go behind your employers back and only focus on lifting as much gold for yourself as possible.

Take on extended missions called Operations, a chained series of Raids set in familiar locations, featuring new storylines and objectives. The risks are greater, but so are the rewards!

CHALLENGE CARDS - There’s a twist

Earn and use collectable Challenge Cards that let you spice up a mission in all kinds of ways. You may want a little health boost to get you across the finish line, tackle a mission with only pistols, or perhaps scuttle your way to victory using the fan “favorite” Crab People.
