What if the Cold War didn’t stay cold?
’83 imagines exactly that — a world where tension finally boiled over into full-scale global conflict. Developed as a 40v40 tactical first-person shooter, ’83 throws players into massive, objective-driven battles where every squad, bullet, and decision matters.

It’s not your average shooter. It’s a gritty, fast-paced Cold-War-Gone-Hot experience that balances realism with accessibility — a game that captures the intensity of large-scale warfare without burying you in endless menus and mil-sim mechanics.

🔥 The Cold War Finally Ignites

Set in an alternate version of the 1980s, ’83 drops players into sprawling battlefields across Europe, where NATO and Warsaw Pact forces fight for dominance.
It’s all-out war, featuring authentic weaponry, military vehicles, and objective-based combat where every match feels like a living battlefield.

Each player joins a squad of soldiers, fighting alongside 39 teammates against an equally organized enemy force. The maps are massive, the firefights are intense, and the teamwork is everything.

⚙️ Accessible Realism Done Right

The devs describe ’83 as having “accessible realism” — and that’s what makes it shine. It doesn’t go full mil-sim like Squad or Arma, but it’s far more tactical than your standard arcade shooter.

That means:

  • Lethal gunplay that rewards accuracy and coordination
  • Fast respawns and pacing to keep the action constant
  • Realistic weapons and ballistics without the learning curve hell
  • Objective-focused gameplay that encourages teamwork over chaos

It’s the sweet spot between Battlefield and Squad, with a Cold War twist.

🧨 Massive Battles, Small Details

With 80 players on the field, ’83 feels like total war. Explosions echo in the distance, tanks roll across farmlands, and flares light up the night sky. Yet it’s the small touches — the radio chatter, the muddy boots, the metallic ping of empty shells — that make every firefight feel raw and real.

Whether you’re capturing objectives, providing overwatch, or coordinating airstrikes, ’83 makes you feel like part of something larger than yourself.

🎮 Why ’83 Stands Out

’83 isn’t just another team-based shooter — it’s a love letter to Cold War-era tension and tactical gameplay.
If you’re into large-scale multiplayer shooters that balance authenticity and intensity, this is one to watch.

Grab your rifle, rally your squad, and prepare to fight for your side of history. The Cold War just went hot.
