About Day of Infamy

Day of Infamy started in 2015 as a mod for the Steam Top Seller Insurgency, created by the developers at New World and members of their modding community. Since then, New World has worked hard to stay true to their design roots, established by Insurgency, but also shaped Day of Infamy into a unique World War II shooter that can stand on its own. To date the game has sold over 500,000 copies and has led the WWII shooter revival. The game was also praised by influential independent gaming community site ModDB, winning their 2017 Community Award and placing 3rd in Indie of the Year fan voting.  

Day of Infamy is available for purchase on Steam, The Humble Store, and a variety of other digital PC game retailers. 

About New World

New World Interactive is an independent developer and publisher that has roots deeply grounded in the modding community. Many of the core team members started as hobbyists creating the types of games they wanted to play. This foundation shaped itself into a unique development process which has led to the creation of New World’s debut title, Insurgency. 

In the wake of Insurgency‘s success in reaching more than 5.5 million players, New World plans to continue creating compelling and disruptive new experiences with Day of Infamy and the upcoming Insurgency sequel, Insurgency: Sandstorm.
