Squad 44 introduces The Pacific Front in early 2025 with the Iwo Jima map as well as the Imperial Japanese Army and US Marine Corps factions.

December 8, 1944. The United States begins bombing Iwo Jima in an attempt to diminish Japan's defenses. The bombing continues for more than two months straight before American forces hit the shores of the Japanese island. The Battle of Iwo Jima has begun.

Squad 44 is the most the most authentic tactical WW2 shooter. Experience ruthless realism with an immense arsenal of faithfully recreated weapons and vehicles across massive WW2 battlefields.

Offworld Industries (makers of Squad) purchased the IP from Periscope Games who effectively abandoned the game, they then rebranded it into 'Squad 44'. They then gave a contract to Mercury Arts (they made the Chapter: Mercury mod) to support the game with fixes and new content.

Interesting to note is that the Mercury Arts guys are part-time, as in they work full-time jobs and do the game development primarily because they love the game so much. Despite their part-time status, they've managed to release an insane amount of content and QoL fixes over the last year.
