United 1944 was delisted from Steam on April 10th, 2025, following its quiet server shutdown in July of 2024.
Novarama’s latest statement regarding the game was a Developer’s Report published on March 8th, 2024, where Novarama’s “Live Ops Producer” Jake Petrulla opened with a statement on the game’s reception:
UNITED 1944 has struggled filling servers, which of course generates a negative sales and review loop. Despite these challenges, we remain committed to the game. We have been creating games for 20 years and understand that this industry is a marathon, not a sprint.
Many of you have voiced concerns on Discord that we should do more marketing, promote the game more. Of course, being an indie game, in Early Access, on one of the more saturated genres to enter hasn’t helped. Yes, we have engaged in several marketing initiatives and collaborated with streamers. And it’s true the outcome haven’t met the expectations of our community and ourselves. Clearly, a marketing campaign for a multiplayer survival shooter requires means that we, as of today, do not have. But we feel there’s a lot of work we can do within the game: we want to create a better game, so we engage our existing community and attract new players.
Developers Report: Current Status and strategic outlook. – March 08, 2024
None of Novarama’s planned updates for United 1944 after that point would end up releasing, as on March 15th, 2024, Novarama CEO and co-founder Dani Sanchez-Crespo announced in a YouTube video that the company had filed for bankruptcy and would be preparing to wind down their operations.
WWII, REDEFINED
In the twilight battles of WWII, UNITED 1944 blends the intensity of shooter gameplay with crafting, building, strategy, and teamwork. Inspired by late-war guerrilla skirmishes, choose between team-based urban warfare or solo survival in a historically rich setting.
SCAVENGE. CRAFT. BUILD. DEFEND.
A world in ruins awaits you. Explore this no man’s land to find resources you can use to craft weapons and gear that will turn the tide of battle. Use the environment to your advantage: build defensive walls, set mines, and set up outposts to gain territorial advantage.
WIN TOGETHER, DIE ALONE
In UNITED 1944, strategy wins the battle. Divide roles among team members, share resources, set goals, and raid enemy bases to control the territory. Heal fallen teammates, ping enemies, and work together as a squad to gain the upper hand. In war, all we have is each other.
WAR. YOUR WAY.
What will you do in WWII? Choose from 40+ skills to play your part: a sniper from the rooftops, a frontline medic, or a demolition expert. Switch up your roles and weapon loadouts mid-battle. Customize your hero: be a soldier, a resistance member, a civilian. Write your own World War II story.
UNITED WE FIGHT. UNITED WE WIN.
UNITED 1944 combines the intensity of close-quarters combat with a solid shooting core. Experience WWII in two different game modes: in Domination, fight for the control of a village in 16 vs 16 team-based conquest. In Survivor, become a lone wolf stranded in a ruined city, staying alive until you are rescued.
