Happy Summertime, Runners!
This Summer is hitting hard in Western Europe right now, it's hot as hell but we at least have the Cooler Boxes ready, even if just virtually.
For this Summer event, we also have the good old Off-Duty Veteran with an additional weapon added to his arsenal to ruin your journey.
Last year's summer event introduced the VIP in online invasion, a war reporter equipped with a ballistic shield and a camera. This time, he went on a vacation trip (probably avoiding the heat!) and won't be around but don't worry, a new VIP is replacing him: THE AGENT!
This tough dual Desert Eagle wielding lady is a special agent who can paradrop into the map once a few bases have been captured. Every remaining enemy base becomes a marked objective. She doesn't care about the commander's capture order, she does her own thing but expects you to help on her mission to swipe the maps. When it's done, every connected player gets the event reward ticket. If she dies, the mission fails.
After every milestone (number of kills by players around her - shown by a counter in the hud), she unlocks some faction boosts, custom radio calls or paradrop supplies.
What are you waiting for? Hop on the invasion servers and join the fun!
The Summer Event will again last the entire Summer, so there is plenty of time to get the most out of it! Enjoy!
Thanks to Terran, FastClock and RedFox for their crazy contributions!

Hello Runners,
First of all, RUNNING WITH RIFLES is available for a limited time at the steepest discount ever! Grab it while it's hot if you didn't already! Second, and this might catch you off-guard but the RWR Vanilla family will grow soon, more about this topic later.
Last but not least - we know a lot of you Runners were waiting for this - we are excited to share the news that we have reached a new milestone by publishing the store presence of RWR 2 here on Steam.
RWR2 will be bigger, smarter, and more tactical than ever and offering a whole bunch of new possibilities without losing the flow and the charm that characterized RUNNING WITH RIFLES.
If you are hungry for more and can't wait any longer, then follow the link to the RWR 2 store page below:
View game pageWhile the Prologue trailer is viewable on the RWR 2 store page, you can also watch it directly on Youtube for a 4K version.
As mentioned at the start of this news post, the Vanilla family will grow later this year with a new DLC with the codename RUNNING WITH RIFLES:EXTENDED!
It will feature a new campaign with 2 brand new factions, the Blueboots and the Whitefangs with their own arsenal and equipment. With it comes a new set of maps and of course, the new content will also be entirely playable in online Invasion!
There is no release date yet but early meteorological forecast shows the storm is brewing up, and will hit the coast around Q3 2026! More info will be dropped in a dedicated news post within the next weeks.

Hey Runners!
Osumia Games wish you all Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year 2026!
Every year, we are having seasonal events and while we are a bit late in schedule for this year's X-MAS event, it's finally here for you to enjoy! 2025 was particularly rich in seasonal community events, adding an Easter event for the first time to the party and drastically extended the content of Summer and Halloween events by adding new soldier groups, bosses, VIP, various scripted events, etc.
This X-MAS event won't be any exception to this, as along the usual BAD SANTA who is up to no good, we have some other new fellas joining the party, such as elves, nutcrackers..... Just hop on the official Vanilla invasion servers and you will find out for yourself!
Here again, thanks to the modding community with their dedication to bring joy to the players with their creativity!

Trick or Treat Runners!
BOOH! The traditional RWR Halloween event is knocking at your door!
The deadly Rippers are back in Online Invasion during this 20 days long event. Last year, the Demon Sniper joined the party but this enemy has been slightly reworked and turned into the Fire Demon as she now throws fireballs at the enemy. Of course, she still summons her Skeleton minions to spread the usual panic, but hey, they want to join the party as well!
This year, we also added a new dude, a heavy spell casting Evil Commander who can randomly spawn once every few maps. There is also the Pumpkin Knight, a pumpkin head weirdo who is infesting others on death. Can you find a way how to deal with this plague?
Also, the Halloween Box partially mutated once again to have a new family member, the Halloween Box 3! This new teal Pumpkin Box contains similar goodies as his two sibling Pumpkin Boxes, but with some unique item replacement, such as 10 unique new weapons and some more crazy stuff!
Oh, and I forgot, the VIP is also back during the Halloween event! He will probably have the toughest time imaginable with all those Halloween freaks running around but we are pretty sure he'll be able to shoot a few nice pics!
News from the DLC team: we've decided to release a small teaser of Eastern Front content into the WW2 Undead mode by allowing you to play as a Soviet faction with a handful of Eastern Front firearms! The Undead mode has also been expanded with one more map, worked from Edelweiss, as well as one new vehicle to play around with. We hope you enjoy!
Once again, special thanks to the modding community for their contribution!

Hey Runners!

Some media of RWR2!
As some of you might know, the core team of Osumia Games is working on RWR2 and we try to provide regular screenshots/videos to showcase our work. We just posted our next weekly media. We'd appreciate if you'd have a look at it and follow the development!

Happy Summertime, Runners!
Last year's summer event was a hit among the community, which is why we're bringing back the fun — with some exciting new additions! The community has once more been on fire to make this content possible while the core of the Vanilla development team has shifted to the RWR2 development.
The good old off-duty veteran is back as fit as ever to continue causing chaos across the enemy lines!
We also added a new Cooling Box 3 as a random soldier drop with pre-existing rare stuff and with brand new equipment and goodies such as 5 new weapons.
In this update we added a new unit called the VIP exclusively for online invasion which is a blue helmet war reporter equipped with a ballistic shield and a camera. This pacifist unit needs to be escorted to another base. The commander will inform you on the tactical map where the VIP is and which base he needs to be escorted to. Note that the VIP is not spawning on every map but average on every third map. A successful mission rewards the entire server with a ticket which can recompense you with items from a pool of pretty much every equipment piece the Seasonal Event has to offer!
The Summer Event will last the entire Summer so there is plenty of time to get the most out of it! Enjoy!

Hello Runners!
We hope you all started well into 2025! This year is special for the Runner community as it'll mark the 10th anniversary of the 1.0 release of Running with Rifles here on Steam, ːrwromgː! There are still quite a few of you guys who've been a part of the family for so long. Thank you so much for swearing your loyalty, much appreciated!
First of all, Osumia Games has finally got a new and sexy logo! Looks pretty sweet on a T-shirt, don't you think? Let us know in the comments!
Follow the RWR2 development
Last Summer, we announced that we are working on RWR2 yet we didn't reveal much since the announcement post and its introduction video. We're changing that for the future as some of you guys are getting really impatient as seen in the video below ːrwrsoldierː ːrwrsoldierː ːrwrsoldierː ːrwrsoldierː
We created social media channels dedicated to the (yet early) development of RWR2. You can find a channel on the X platform called @rwr2dev as well as on Tiktok called @osumiagames. As we are just a team of two, we won't spend too much time on the production of fancy video content yet we hope that some regular random and simple screenshots and videos, bloopers and funny visual bugs will be better than just taking another hiatus from posting anything while we move forward with RWR2.
"Is Eastern Front still coming out? When will it release? Is it dead?"
We have been addressed by these and similar questions. So far our answers have boiled down to, "it will be released but we can't tell yet when", and we haven't discussed or revealed anything about the state of the DLC.
To clarify for anyone who does not know, the DLC is being worked on exclusively by only us four DLC developers: Tremozl, TheSoldier, 577 and Unit G17. We all have full time jobs and we work on the DLC in our free time. The base game's developers, Pasik and JackMayol, have no part in the DLC development, they are busy working on the upcoming RWR2 - check out the trailer if you haven't yet!
With that out of the way, let's discuss the state of the Eastern Front DLC. We already have a functional Soviet faction with well tailored soldier models, new calls and a sizable arsenal. Speaking of which, this DLC will introduce over 40 new weapons, not counting weapon variants. Both the German and Soviet factions feature weapons from the early and late stage of the war.
When it comes to vehicles, the Soviets will have the largest motor pool of any faction at release. The Germans have also receive a few new toys as well, totaling over 20 new vehicles combined.
As with the previous DLC titles, our greatest roadblock is level work. Adding to the challenge is the time-consuming endeavor of several city levels featuring large numbers of damaged or destroyed buildings. In order to make them look authentic and to maintain the quality we have presented so far, we are working with several new level objects at a scale that we haven't achieved before. As such we are still not confident enough yet to set a release date, but we will keep you updated on our progress in future posts!
RWRStats.com login status
RWRStats.com or "RWRS" has been a popular website written by Epoc to track your stats, see who's on the servers, if your friends are online and allowing you to see all the profiles you created and delete them if necessary for both Vanilla as WW2.
The login didn't work for a few months but good news, it had been fixed by now, thanks Epoc for the fix!
Here's a quote from him for those of you who want to go a bit more into details:
Steam allows its users to log-in to third-party sites (like rwrstats.com) using a protocol named "OpenID 2.0", which goal is to prevent users to share any sensitive credentials with such sites. That's great, however this protocol is very old and superseded by another (OpenID Connect) since a long time.
As a developer, I'm lazy. I was using what we call a "library" allowing to use this protocol, without writing much code by myself. That library however stopped working months ago for an unknown reason, so I had to implement the protocol by myself to solve the issue.
Don't forget to join the community on the Running with Rifles Discord and we'd be more than happy if you could let us know if you like the game and the WW2 DLCs by leaving a review on Steam, as it helps us a lot!
Thank you and keep on Running, your Osumia Games
While this Steam post is mainly an informational post, we also added minor fixes for WW2 like listed in the changelog below:
Changelog (WW2):
maps: fixed an issue which caused mapview objective cards to not show up in Edelweiss
campaign: the Bergetiger's crane now repairs automaticly if the vehicle has a driver
misc: fixed an issue which caused soldiers to get stuck in the prone position in most mods when played on the DLC maps

vehicles: Mk20 Wiesel - fixed the excentric position of the turret

vehicles: ZJX-19/XE - repair behavior modified, so that the repair crane is static and can be operated solely by the driver
vehicles: Flamer tank - fixed UV issues
wearables: Demon vest - stun result on healthy vest will be a stun instead of wound to avoid revive exloit
calls: A10 gun run - spawn time reduced by 20%, 25% more projectiles, new sound and fixed the shadow which was not being cast
maps: Dry Enclave - fixed ice cream van spawn locations. No more spawns outside of the safe zones

Hey Runners!
Osumia Games wish you all Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year 2025!
The year is coming to an end with the usual quick annual recap of what happened this year at Osumia Games and what is coming for the (near) future.
Year 2024 recap
2025 will be a special year to us as it will mark the 10th anniversary of the release of RWR here on Steam. 2024 has been a rather successful year for Osumia Games once again. While the sales dropped by around 15%, the RUNNING WITH RIFLES family has still grown by another 80.000 members and on top of that, over 57.000 DLC units have find new owners.
Some other insights about the year 2024's review include 8 updates with 2 major ones including 2 new Summer boxes and a second Halloween Boxes, 3 new vehicles, several new weapons and other goodies!
Osumia Games in 2025
RWR2 is in development!
The past Summer, we've been super excited to make the work on RWR2 finally public. RWR2 will be a whole lot different from RWR1 as already stated in the June Steam News post. We've continued to experiment some more and we now have a rather solid backbone to work on. Right after the new year, we'll start to post some regular images, short videos and bloopers of the development of RWR2. We'll inform you where to find them, but our Discord would be the first place to go.
Here is the Teaser video of RWR2 again, in case you missed it:
As you might have read it already in the Steam forum, Eastern Front will be delayed again. This time we will not mention any new release date and take the "it's done when it's done" path. Sorry for all of you who are waiting impatiently!
Here's a recent post by one of the WW2 dev :
Originally posted by Unit G17:
Eastern Front will be released, but at this time we are unable to estimate a release date. All four of us DLC developers (Trem, TheSoldier, 577, and me) have full time jobs outside game development, and we had a rather busy year which has slowed down our progress. Rest assured we have the full intention of eventually releasing it!
Don't forget to join the fun on Running with Rifles Discord and we'd be more than happy if you could let us know if you like the game and the WW2 DLCs by leaving a review on Steam, as it helps us a lot! Thank you!
Keep on running, Your Osumia Games

Hello Runners! First of all, happy 80th Anniversary of D-Day!. We hope you will join us in the celebration of this day! For this event, we're releasing a D-Day themed map for Edelweiss complete with various new vehicle assets for both Western Front and Pacific campaigns. A good p
Hello Runners!
First of all, happy 80th Anniversary of D-Day!. We hope you will join us in the celebration of this day!
For this event, we're releasing a D-Day themed map for Edelweiss complete with various new vehicle assets for both Western Front and Pacific campaigns. A good portion of the new content has been produced by community members - the D-Day map itself by NetherCrow and DiLing(YISIC), and the Churchill Mk VII and its Flamethrower variant by Anzac Joe.
We also feel it's necessary to mention that we were in a bit of a time-crunch to get this published for D-Day itself, so please bear with us if there are issues with its release, and be aware that we plan to set up a 'wave-defense' style scenario for the Wehrmacht, and to enable the map in Quickmatch at a later date.
On the Vanilla side of things, we also have some new content for you. After 7 community boxes and 2 seasonal boxes (X-mas and Halloween), we thought that it'd be time for a new seasonal box to also celebrate the Summer. Thanks to the awesome community we put together not one but TWO SUMMER BOXES!! The Summer box will be active throughout the entire Summer (until end of August) so that you'll have enough time to collect as many as possible!
Beside several new weapons, we also have 3 new vehicle drops and a lot of Summer goodies to fill your RP or to chill with online friends with an Iced Coffee on a sunlounger. For a entire list, check the change log below.
Special thanks in no particular order to Redfox, Axnone, TerranConfederacy and Return Dirt and all others involved!
And now ... drumroll... Some more drumroll
RWR2 is in development!
We're super excited to make it finally public that we're working on RWR2! RWR2 will be a whole lot different from RWR1, we've been experimenting with a lot of cool new stuff building up from where we got in RWR1 over the years. We made a quick video showcasing some of the changes, and will be dropping more videos and screen caps in the future.
New world system: RWR on launch started with 10 maps (now 16 maps) à 1km², RWR2 will have 1 world with 25 km² area with no loading screens in between, hence 25 times bigger than a single RWR map.
New factions: More varied factions with different agendas, some factions are allied against others. The player will be playing in various factions throughout the campaign ranging from civilians to resistance fighters to military.
New objectives: The campaign has a larger variety of objectives and advancing further in the game isn't always about capturing zones.
New building system: Some buildings feature interiors now, and some walls are destructible for entrance, and most walls feature damage effects.
New health system: Actual health is in play now with self-healing, allowing player to spend time more surviving and less respawning.
New camera control: The camera rotates now *shock*
New stealth mechanics: High grass and foliage help staying unnoticed, there are lights to stay away from at night time. In certain circumstances, enemies don't recognize you as their enemy.
New AI: Bots and commanders have learned plenty of new tricks, e.g. chasing, driving in a convoy, retreating, looting and moving items, and a whole lot of changes in combat. They handle new types of objectives and communicate their intent better to player. AI navigation has been pretty much rebuilt.
New squad mechanics: Ability to handle squad equipment, give orders to individual squadmates where to move and look at, order to throw grenades and build deployments
New vehicle types: Helicopters!
More new stuff: aiming down sights, improved vehicle physics, vehicle trunks, shooting while driving, fall damage, incendiaries and fire, build actual gapless sandbag wall lines, wind effects, terrain modifications
We are currently in early pre-alpha stage so it's safe to say there will be a lot of changes as new things are being worked on. At this point it's too early to make estimates for when RWR2 will be released or when alpha or beta testing will begin, we'll know when the time is right.
Don't forget to join the community on the Running with Rifles Discord and we'd be more than happy if you could let us know if you like the game and the WW2 DLCs by leaving a review on Steam, as it helps us a lot!
Thank you and keep on Running, your Osumia Games

Hey Runners!
Osumia Games wish you all Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year 2024!
The year is coming to an end with a quick annual recap of what happened this year at Osumia Games and what is coming for the (near) future.
2023 recap
2024 will mark the 10th year since the Early Access release of RWR here on Steam. How time flies! 2023 has been similar successful as 2022 where the RUNNING WITH RIFLES family has grown by another 99.000 members (projection until the end of the year) and on top of that, over 73.000 DLC units have been sold.
Some other insights about the year 2023's review include 9 updates with 2 major ones including 2 new maps, a community box #7 containing 3 new vehicles, several new weapons and other goodies! We also added a Camera mod to the package for the content creators.
Eastern Front WW2 DLC
As you might have read it already in the Steam forum, EF will be delayed. Here's the original post:
Hello Runners,
Unfortunately we're announcing a delay to Eastern Front today. Our team of four (Trem, TheSoldier, 577, and Unit G17) have jobs outside of game development, and can only commit hours during their free time, and lately progress has slowed down.
We are not prepared to suggest a new 'release date' at this time, but rest assured, this is a passion project and we are looking forward to releasing it! What we can say is that it won't be coming before Q3 2024.
Keep an eye out for news posts in the future!
Keep on Running,
Osumia Games

Beside the release of the Eastern Front WW2 DLC later in 2024, we'll also have some exciting news to announce soon! We won't go into details yet, but Osumia Games is cooking something tasty! Feel free to add a guess in the comments.

Hello Runners!
Today, we have a "new" map for you. It's basically a conversion of the Edelweiss map "Hell's Highway". While it looks very similar, it has been extended and has its own twists to better match Vanilla gameplay. The map "Route 666" has been added to the invasion rotator but can also be played as quick match, as well as in Dominance PvP where the city part is being used for a conquest and a king of the hill substage.
Some of you might find some use with the "CAMERA MOD" we did a while back, mainly to make scenery screenshots and videos. The "camera_mod" package can be found at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RunningWithRifles\media\packages\camera_mod" and has a HOWTO.txt in the folder. Don't expect it to be a powerful tool, it's very basic but might be interesting for some of you content creators. We cleaned it up a bit, added some documentation and are shipping it as an own package of the game. No file needs to be replaced anymore and can be used as overlay.
below is a video we made with the mod using the camera script. You can use it yourself as an example and reproduce the video on your own just by running the camera mod script without any modification.
