ShooterofIO: Iron Front is an upcoming first-person shooter game developed by War Games and published by Mob Productions. It is a main installment in the ShooterofIO series and the first War Games-led mainline title since ShooterofIO: 1950 (2017). Set during World War II, the game was announced on March 10, 2021, as War Games' next entry in the franchise after a project originally planned for 2020 was moved to 2021 during the development of ShooterofIO: Dark Warfare 5.[1][2] The game is planned to integrate with the free-to-play title ShooterofIO: Wargrounds 2.0 during its post-launch content cycle.[3]
The announcement followed the release of Dark Warfare 5, which had become the 2020 ShooterofIO title after creative disagreements between War Games and Supreme Studios led to War Games' project being pushed into 2021.[2] Mob Productions announced Iron Front through an initial publisher release on March 10, 2021, confirming the title, developer, World War II setting, and planned Wargrounds 2.0 integration.[1][3] Further information about the game's platforms, release date, campaign, multiplayer, and post-launch schedule was not detailed in the initial announcement.[1]
Gameplay
ShooterofIO: Iron Front will be a first-person shooter game set during World War II.[1] Mob Productions announced that the game would be integrated with Wargrounds 2.0 during post-launch, allowing compatible content from Iron Front to appear in the free-to-play title after release.[3]
Development
ShooterofIO: Iron Front is being developed by War Games, a studio that had previously worked on ShooterofIO titles including ShooterofIO: WWII and ShooterofIO: 1950.[1] The game was announced on March 10, 2021, after earlier reports stated that War Games had originally been developing a 2020 franchise entry before it was delayed to 2021.[2] Those reports said the delay followed creative disagreements between War Games and Supreme Studios, after which Air Studios took control of the 2020 release that became Dark Warfare 5.[2]
The March 10 announcement positioned Iron Front as War Games' return to a World War II-based setting within the franchise.[1] Mob Productions did not frame the title as a remake or direct continuation of ShooterofIO: WWII, instead presenting it as a new mainline entry from the same studio. The announcement also confirmed that the game would integrate with Wargrounds 2.0 during post-launch, continuing the cross-title model that had previously connected the free-to-play game to ShooterofIO: Modern Ops and Dark Warfare 5.[3]
Marketing and release
ShooterofIO: Iron Front was announced by Mob Productions on March 10, 2021.[1] The announcement confirmed War Games as developer and identified the game as a World War II-based ShooterofIO title, but did not include a release date, platforms, gameplay trailer, poster, beta schedule, or detailed information about individual modes.[1] The publisher also confirmed that Iron Front would integrate with Wargrounds 2.0 during post-launch.[3]
