- Wraith Ops Launches March 12 | Play the Demo NOW - 23 February 2026
Hello, everyone.We are incredibly excited and proud to announce that Wraith Ops will release on Steam on March 12th 2026!As first-time game developers in the indie space, working on a passion-driven project has been arduous but also incredibly illuminating. Multiplayer games are extremely difficult to make. We are a small indie team comprising 7 total team members – 5 full-time staff and 2 part-time staff working remotely.For years, Wraith Ops was a 2-person project, which explains the slow development and long production timeline. Our Mission Wraith Ops is not here to disrupt the FPS space as a ‘COD killer’ or ‘Battlefield killer’; nothing about our endeavour suits this framing. We are not trying to fill a void or solve gaming. Our mission was to build something grounded with deliberate mechanics and minimal system clutter. We know the game won’t please everyone.Our core intent is to b…
- Demo Update: Team Deathmatch Added - 20 February 2026
Hello everyone, Thank you for jumping into the Wraith Ops demo this week and sharing your feedback!New Game Mode: Team DeathmatchDeathmatch is now live in the demo. We've implemented a respawn mode to give you a better opportunity to test the game at scale and experience more gunfights. You can jump straight back into the action instead of waiting for the next round in Arena.Arena will remain an option if you prefer a more contemplative, tactical approach to gameplay. There's a high frequency of Arena servers live, so please continue to scroll down through the server list if you can't see a Deathmatch server populated at the top. Streaming/Content CreationYou are free to stream and upload videos of the demo to your heart's content! We'd love to see your content, so please feel free to share it with us here, in our official Discord server, or by tagging us directly on X.Join us on Discor…

- A New Airfield - 20 January 2026
Hello everyone, Airfield has come a long way since some of you got your first hands-on experience with it during our public playtest last August. Your feedback has been incredibly useful, and we appreciate you taking the time to participate.Since then, we’ve iterated heavily and want to share how the map has evolved. Why the changes?The original Airfield had a problematic layout, with disjointed objective locations that failed to maintain a healthy pace in gameplay. The plane objective, for example, was placed too close to spawn points – skewing balance and favouring the team defending. The hangar occupied a redundant space, only offering a strong elevated position that exposed too many spawn-to-objective paths. And we’re sure you remember that rooftop on the adjacent building, encouraging spawn camping that was hard to counter in a meaningful way. Some areas also felt like we were prio…

Hello everyone,We’ve just pushed a new Playtest build live with a fix to curb the server crashing issue that’s persisted since we went live on Thursday. When X amount of stats eventually got queued up, the server would see that its getting busy and then attempt to do a flush of data, thus flushing the stat requests with it.

Things to know: Project Wraith is still in development and making strong progress We’ve partnered with Team17 to get boots on the ground We’re targeting a 2025 release for Project Wraith You can get ready with our partnership announcement trailer here: What is Project Wraith? This game is a love letter to the glory days of first-person shooters, predicated on slick, snappy and fun gameplay.

- What's going on with Project Wraith? / October 2022 - 4 October 2022
Hey everyone! Summer is over (bad for people, great for PC cooling) and we would like to share some new updates from Grassrootz Studios on how Project Wraith is shaping up. Admittedly there has not been much communication from our side recently, if you are not in our Discord, where we (for the most part) post updates and leaks for our backers - join us HERE. I'll now go over the more exciting stuff! Since we released Operation Papercut for our backers we've been working on adding new features and fixing many many broken ones. Turns out developing games is hard (who knew) and things are taking a little more time than anticipated. Over the last few weeks and months, we've been working on reworking pretty much the entire core of the game. What we showed in our Kickstarter demo wasn't really at the level we wanted it to be. Now, as of today, I'm happy to say the rate of progress and state o…

Weapon Bench We've completely overhauled UI and look of our class, weapon and part customisation, and other parts of UI/UX for a better experience.
