Firthnight is a first-person shooter video game, developed by Ackman Motion Picture Game Development and published by Crane, Kaplan & Co. It was released worldwide on March 29, 2018 for PC, available on Rassvet Lasaitasuna, Svoboda, Sensation, and Sourai. A console release is slated to occur in autumn 2018.
The game's campaign is set during the War of the Njord in 1971, with the player controlling Ambrosian Lance Bombardier Wullfrid "Wully" Nanshaw of the 14th Trelawney Regiment of Foot, and centers around his attempts to survive the invasion and eventual withdrawal from the Tårnøerne islands. DLC content in the game includes modes that allow the player to play as Nanshaw during the Second Northumbrian Emergency, as well as in a dystopian 1980 where Sjealand occupied Ambrose after the war.
Upon the game's release, Firthnight received generally positive reviews from video game critics, with the most praise directed towards the campaign, visuals, and a multiplayer mode that was seen as an improvement on previous Ackman games. However, the game has come under fire for its historical accuracy, particularly from Sjealandic historians, who criticize it as biased against Sjealand, through the exaggeration of alleged Sjealandic atrocities and "trivialization" of Ambrosian war crimes. Nevertheless, the game has become a major commercial success both in Nordania and overseas; not only in countries with large markets but also West Borean nations such as Ceresnia.
