The gaming world is abuzz with anticipation for the release of “Brass Rain,” a free-to-play World War II first-person shooter developed by Yarnhub Studios. This game marks the studio’s exciting transition from creating popular animated videos on YouTube to venturing into the video game industry. Supported by a team with experience from gaming giants like EA, Remedy, Sony, and Jagex, Yarnhub is set to make a notable entry with their debut title.
A Game Made by the Community, for the Community
Yarnhub Studios has successfully gathered $2.9 million through crowdfunding, leveraging the devoted community they cultivated on their YouTube channel, which boasts over 2.7 million subscribers. The studio has long been encouraged by its audience to craft a video game, and now, with “Brass Rain,” they are answering that call. CEO David Webb expressed gratitude and alignment with their community’s desires, emphasizing the game’s focus on historical authenticity, global campaigns, and engaging multiplayer combat.
An Authentic Historical Experience
Cyril Barrow, the head of games at Yarnhub Studios, described “Brass Rain” as more than just a game—it’s a dynamic historical experience enriched by the input of millions of their monthly viewers. The game promises to go beyond the offerings of titles like “War Thunder” and “World of Tanks” by incorporating immersive infantry combat. Players can expect a collaborative fighting experience that spans land, sea, and air, providing a unique perspective on historical warfare.
A New Approach to Free-to-Play
Yarnhub’s decision to pursue a free-to-play model reflects their successful YouTube background and community-driven funding efforts. The studio assures gamers that “Brass Rain” will include some of the most affordable cosmetic microtransactions in the gaming industry. This approach aims to create a player-friendly environment without excessive monetization.
“Brass Rain” is poised for an early access release on Steam in 2026, promising an exciting new chapter for both Yarnhub Studios and its dedicated followers.
