Attentat 1942 News

We just added trading cards you earn while immersed in Attentat's story! We wanted to include them in Remembrance Update from the start, but it took us some time to get all of the requirements right. So instead we decided to postpone to give your the best version of trading cards possible.

Some of you might have already noticed some of our character portraits popping up in your Steam inventories. There's seven to collect in total. We hope this will improve Attentat 1942 experience for you.

And thanks for your recent support, we are delighted by all the interest in our game.

Talk to you again in the future and if you haven't, please check Svoboda 1945, a follow-up to Attentat, due to be released later this year.

Charles Games could never have happened if it wasn't for Attentat 1942. And our award-winning game just got its biggest update ever.

We spent a good portion of the last and this year porting the game to a new engine, fixing bugs and improving things as we went. We're excited to show you what is the best version of the game so far, so without further ado, here's what to expect after downloading Attentat 1942 Remembrance Update!

1. Improved UI. New profile screens, new backgrounds for more immersive experience
   
2. Steam Cloud save
   
3. 64-bit version, meaning Attentat 1942 is available on MacOS Catalina and all near future versions of MacOS to come
4. Improved quality of videos and comics.
   
5. Many bugfixes and optimizations
   

Important thing about the save files
We tried our best to figure it out, but since we changed engines (letting us to do many more things in future), we are not able to bring your old saves to the new, updated version. But if you do miss them, they are available in the legacy branch in Steam. You can find it all if you right click on Attentat 1942 icon in your Steam library and go to properties>beta branches. Sorry for any trouble this might cause you, but we firmly believe it's worth the hassle.

So that's it and with a mobile port coming soon, the future of Attentat 1942 is bright! And lastly, we wanted to thank you, our players, for your sustained support and feedback. Truly. We never could have done it without you. Thank you for helping us to keep history alive!

Dear players,
First of all, thank you for your sustained support and kind words that are still coming, both in reviews and articles. We couldn't go on without you!

The mobile port of Attentat 1942 is coming soon. We had to remake the game from the ground up, switching to another game engine (details in our devblog). This allowed us to polish the desktop version as well and bring you what is the best version of Attentat 1942 ever available! That means not only bringing it to the newest MacOS (Catalina and forwards) but also improving a lot of small things we couldn't do back in the day.

We decided to call it Attentat 1942: Remembrance update, because we are releasing it the day after the anniversary of the assasination of Reinhard Heydrich was attempted in 1942. The update will, of course, be free for everyone who bought Attentat 1942, thank you again!



Most changes were made to the UI. We reworked the look of player profiles, updated character intro screens, improved visual quality of comics and videos. We fixed some bugs hidden here and there and shortened loading times. Under the hood, everything is new!

The update will be coming live at 27th May. We'll be doing a dev stream on our page to celebrate the occasion, we're looking forward to showing you what is the definitive edition of Attentat 1942.

[h3]So what about the saves?[/h3]
Our switch to a completely new engine means that as much as we tried to figure it out, bringing over save files from the old version will not be possible. We are really sorry for everyone who'll be affected. Upon updating, you'll have to start your game again, albeit keeping all the achievements, of course. But if you are in the middle of a journey to finding your grandpa's fate, you can by all means finish it. We will keep the original game alive in a beta branch, selectable through Steam's settings (we will post the thorough guide later, the option will pop up in Attentat 1942 settings in Steam Library).

Thank you for understanding. We are excited to bring you a brand new version of our game and we honestly believe it is worth the leap. It also opens up some interesting possibilities for Attentat 1942's future as well, including maybe (psst) Linux version...

So that's it. We are now in the very final phases of testing, tying all the loose ends and preparing everything for what is the biggest update Attentat 1942 ever.

Best Regards and we hope you're safe.

It was our goal for a long time, but with switching to Unity engine (we wrote about it here) for Svoboda 1945, a way to finally port Attentat 1942 to mobile opened! ːwinter2019happydogː Both Android and iOS versions are currently in development and if nothing happens the game should be out in spring.

All dialogues and interactive comics' are implemented, most of interactive memories as well. We just need time to test, fine-tune things and make sure the port will be touch-friendly.

We're looking forward to bringing our historically-accurate game to broader audience.

Switching engines also means that Attentat 1942 will be again available on MacOS Catalina as we can easily create a 64-bit version!

In the meantime, consider wishlisting Svoboda 1945, our next effort in making thrilling, yet serious historical games. This time, set amidst postwar chaos:

After months of development, we are happy to officially announce the next game we are working on! It will be called Svoboda 1945 and will immerse you in the story of a small town in the Czech-German borderlands, whose past is scarred by the violence that rocked the region in the wake of the Nazi retreat at the end of World War II.

Go check out the Steam page and add the game to your wishlist!
