Battle Cry of Freedom is in development by Flying Squirrel Entertainment, the Netherlands-based studio that created the Mount & Blade: Warband - Napoleonic Wars DLC for TaleWorlds. That expansion was published in 2012, and since then, Flying Squirrel has been developing Battle Cry of Freedom, a passion project borne out of the developers' own love of CIvil War reenactment.

Looking over the features list, it becomes clearer why development has taken so long. Battle Cry of Freedom not only lets you fight it out as either a Union or Confederate infantry soldier, you'll also have access to "a wide range of artillery pieces" that each have a selection of munitions, there are barricades and trenches to build, destructible environments, and "dozens of classes to choose from".
