I've waited with this topic too long. Finally I make it happen.

So, upcoming games currently in production:

Brothers In Arms Hell's Highway - sept 2008 (PC, PS3, X360) FPS
Death to Spies: The Moment of the Truth - 2008 (PC) 3rd PS sneaker
Call of Duty: World at War - Q4 2008 (PC, PS3, X360, Wii, PS2) FPS
Velvet Assassin (ex Sabotage 1943) - Q4 2008 (PC, PS3, X360) 3rd PS sneaker
WehrWolf - Q4 2008 (PC) FPS
Saboteur - Q1 2009 (X360, PS3, PC?) 3rd PS sneaker
Wolfenstein - TBA (PC, PS3, X360) FPS

Not an action game but worth mentoning:

A Stroke of Fate - Q4 2008 (PC), point and click adventure

If you know something more, let us know. But I'll do my best to keep this up to date myself too.
PS: It should be my 1942th post. WWII raged in same year.

Awesome list of upcoming titles. I got to keep that in check. Can't wait for the new Wolfenstien. I just kinda recently stumbled across the whole "Battlestrike" series of WWII FPS. I downloaded two of them from a torrent and thought they where decent, then I just bought another one on Ebay from someone in the UK. I dont belive these where ever released in the states as they where developed by some polish company. Kinda like a budget call of duty in a ways. I think they all kinda tie in with the Ubersoldier and Mortyr franchises. I bootlegged Mortyr II and Sniper art of victory. The first one you're a Brit agent fighting in Norway, Poland during the Russian offensive late in the war, the former Yugoslavia, and finally Greece. I have no clue how this ties in with the first Mortyr game. lol The second game you play a Soviet sniper during the battle of Stalingrad and then you are sent to Italy to fight during the assault on Monte Casino. (well that is wat I assume...you fight in Italy on a mountian and into a large monistary). The one I have on the way is called Battlestrike Force of Reistance and from what Ive kinda put together it is actually Mortyr III. Anyways you play a resistance fighter circa 1943 in Poland the Ukraine and other eastren German occupied countries. Seems interesting. Ive never played a FPS in that theater outside of being a Russian soldier in other FPSers. Another game that looks interesting is called Crimes of War, developed by the same people which I belive is actually Ubersoldier II. I might check those out to either purchase or bootleg whatever I can find first as they dont sell these titles in the US.

Do you know of any other titles that might be coming up? I dont mind budget titles as long as they are not completly broken. *cough* vietnam 1965 *cough* (probably worst FPS I ever played. looked home-made. Horrible graphics, almost unplayable, and on the 4th stage you cant go any farther because your charecter randomly falls though the floor and off the map! lol)

I wish I could get my hands on a copy of Shanghi Dragon. So far its the ONLY Chinese front FPS Ive ever seen. I played a demo of it once. It was a little glichy but was really fun. It really wasnt a FPS but more of a on rails shooter. Reguardless Id love to find a full copy of it to add to my collection. Ive been able to play games that have covered almost every battlefield of WWII exept the Chinese-Burma-India theater. The only games I know who have any actions there are Hidden and Dangerouse 2, Shanghi Dragon, and part of Medal of Honor Rising Sun. If you stumble across something freind let me know! :D

Sorry for the long post!

If You have kept track my finished games then You may know I'm finished almost all of City Interactive's shooters. I have pretty good relations with them. :)

Game's  names is mess. They are often different in different regions. Mortyr is lately used only in Poland as this series well known locally.Do not look any countinuty from there though. :) Other series name is BattleStrike. UberSoldier has seen only 2 games and even UberSoldier 2 is know only as Crimes of War at other places. There are also other series/games, like Terrorost Takedown etc...I know pretty much about City's games so if You wanna know something, just ask.

Never heard about "Vietnam 1965" but sounds a lot like the "Airborne Hero D-Day Frontline 1944". :D

The newest WWII FPS from City is "The Royal Marines Commando". Imho it's unfortunately one of the worst from them. I'm haven't got time to finish it yet but I hope I can do it soon.

It's not a new game. It's 2 games collection: The Royal Marines Commando and Battlestrike - Shadow of Stalingrad (although somehow it's renamed to Force of Resistance 2, which was working title).

I've finished them both.

Now when Saboteur is gone gold, I know only one WWII action game under development. It is FPS, announced 2 weeks ago by Polish City Interactive:

Wolfschanze 2  - release date is 31. january 2010

According to Ukraine developer Electronic Paradise Company, the "WehrWolf" is still in making too. Rel date is now Q4 2009. But I'm kinda skeptic about this date.

Update:

I was talking about PC single player games before. Considering PC multiplayer games, there are of course:

Battlefield 1943 - Q1 2010
Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad - Q4 2010

I hear Heroes of Stalingrad willl have a actual single player campagin where you can play as either Russians or Germans, with a storyline and cut scenes and all that.    Be interesting, first FPS that lets you play as the Germans.

You know what Payasoplas - H&D 3 is not that impossible anymore. As there are only handfull of WWII FPSes in development, the market maybe soon will miss WWII games. And good thing is that 2K should own "Hidden & Dangerous" trademark, which leaves no serious obstacles. Let's hope and see. :)

Something new I noticed on the History channel game page called the WWII experince. http://www.history.com/genericContent.do?id=72666    It states: "History.com site visitors can become a virtual eyewitness to history with the downloadable WWII Experience. Surrounded by realistic graphics, visitors can see what it was like to escort bombers into enemy territory, defend PT boats in a naval battle and engage in tank warfare in North Africa."    I havn't had the chance to check it out myself yet but i will soon. :)

I checked those out and I'm missing my half an hour I spent. :'(

WWII Experience - Episode 1: Berlin - terrible plane level
WWII Experience - Episode 2: Tunisia - terrible tank level
WWII Experience - Episode 3: Guadalcanal - terrible boat level

I have always presumed that KUMA games are trash and they are. Source engine is fubar - control are bad, graphic worse.
