Demo update

Red Recon: 1944 · published 15 May 2026, 13:44 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Greetings, friends!

This week we updated the public demo build — added new features, improved existing systems and fixed a number of issues:

  • Fixed camera movement issues when moving the cursor to the edge of the screen.

  • Object highlighting ('H' key) now also highlights enemies and positions for cover.

  • Added an Unstuck option ('U' key): if a character gets stuck, they will be moved to the nearest valid position.

  • Fixed several critical errors.

  • Improved text localizations.

Please note that the early playtest format is no longer available for new users. To access the demo, use the “Download Red Recon: 1944 Demo” button on the game’s Steam page:

Don’t worry, the demo and the former playtest version are completely identical in terms of content.

We've also prepared a step-by-step instruction on how to change in-game language in case Red Recon: 1944 launches in Russian.

Last but not the least: don't forget to share you thoughts about the current Demo in our Steam discussions. Feedback helps us making Red Recon: 1944 even better.
