Post Scriptum is a large scale, WWII-set first person tactical shooter developed by UK-based Periscope Games as an offshoot of Squad and is published by Squad's developer, Offworld Industries. The project began in March 2016 and officially released on Steam Early Access on August 9th, 2018. It initially released as Post Scriptum: The Bloody Seventh as first released chapter of the game focused on the engagement of the British 1st Airborne Division against German Wehrmacht and SS units during Operation Market Garden in 1944. It was further expanded to include engagements that involved American airborne units. The second chapter, Plan Juane, was released on January 9th, 2020, which depicts the Manstein Plan (Fall Gelb) battle between the French Army and Wehrmacht in 1940. The the third chapter is Day of Days, which portrays the landings of Allied forces in Normandy during Operation Overlord. It released on April 23, 2020.
As with its parent game, Post Scriptum is a multiplayer-only game focused on teamwork and cooperation, featuring combined arms gameplay and highly realistic, detailed weaponry.
