We're kicking off our technical playtest today, May 23 – a bit differently than planned.
Due to a pending approval for the dedicated Playtest App, we've decided to launch the Steam Demo version early instead. This version will be updated continuously based on your feedback and will remain available for about one month, including during Steam Next Fest.
What's in the demo? You'll experience a slice of a campaign mission with multiple replayable routes. Each run takes between 30 and 60 minutes. Weapons can be ranked up, and attachments unlocked.
What we're looking for:
How well does it run on your system?
Did you encounter any critical bugs or crashes?
Are there design elements you’d like to see improved?
⚠️ This is a work-in-progress. Expect bugs, placeholder content, and unfinished systems. Your input will directly shape how the game evolves.
🐛 Known & Expected Bugs As this is an early work-in-progress build, some issues are known and currently being addressed:
Unresponsive AI Behavior
Enemy AI may occasionally fail to react properly. This is often caused by missing information nodes or the inability to find valid cover. We're actively adjusting these systems to strike the right balance between performance and intelligent behavior.
Weapon Rank Display Bug
In some cases, the in-game weapon rank may appear to reset or decrease after restarting a mission. This is purely a visual issue — your actual progress and weapon stats remain unaffected.
Audio Mixing Incomplete
The overall sound mix is still under development. Expect placeholder audio, inconsistent volume levels, and general imbalance. This is a key area we’ll be improving over the coming weeks.
Gameplay Lag Spikes
You may experience minor stutters or lag spikes, particularly when loading new sections of the level. We’re aware of this and working on smoother level streaming and performance optimizations.
Please continue to share your experiences — your feedback is critical as we refine the game.

Beyond Enemy Lines - Vietnam is set to launch on Steam Early Access this year. Before diving into the details of this exciting new addition to the Beyond Enemy Lines franchise, let's explore the progression of weapon animations throughout the series.
From the early days of using animations from Asset Packs in Beyond Enemy Lines 1 and 2, the franchise has come a long way in terms of visual fidelity. The first significant leap in animation quality was witnessed in Beyond Enemy Lines Remastered Edition, where the development team introduced their own custom animations, marking a notable improvement over the previous titles.
However, the upcoming Beyond Enemy Lines - Vietnam takes the weapon animations to a whole new level. Building upon the foundations laid in the Remastered Edition, the developers have crafted vastly enhanced and immersive weapon animations that further enhance the gameplay experience. With meticulous attention to detail and fluidity, these new animations bring the weapons to life, immersing players in the intense atmosphere of the Vietnam War setting.
If you're eagerly anticipating the release of Beyond Enemy Lines - Vietnam and want to experience the evolution of weapon animations firsthand, don't forget to add it to your Steam wishlist.

Hello everyone!
Today is the day we look into the future of United Assault, Beyond Enemy Lines and evaluate the latest 'Next Game' survey. There is a lot of new stuff coming in 2022 to play. Lets get started!
United Assault - Normandy'44 is a massive success for Polygon Art and the quickest selling game we ever build! I have big planes for United assault and here is what's coming next:
United Assault - Battle of the Bulge is a standalone expansion to United Assault - Normandy'44 and an open world rogue lite FPS set in 1944's depiction of Ardennes.
As a british paratromy you are assigned to a mission, few would qualify for. You are tasked to infiltrate enemy territory and locate, infiltrate and destroy one of germany's secret V2 factories in the Ardennes. You'll come along heavy enemy resistance, try to weaken their defense by destroying their tanks, equipment and by gathering secret documents.
What does this mean for United Assault - Normandy'44?
More updates, features and improvements! I'm not going to abandon United Assault - Normandy'44! Both games are build with the same code base and allows me to patch new features and improvements from Battle of the Bulge back into Normandy '44. All gameplay, gunplay and AI improvements will find it's way into Normandy'44 as well as several new weapons! If you don't want Battle of the Bulge, you still benefit from its development and get regular news updates.
Looking even more into the future?
I plann to expand United Assault with 2 additional standalone expansions in the same form as Battle of the Bulge. Those are:
Beyond Enemy Lines is returning in 2022 with a major update to Beyond Enemy Lines 2 and an entirly new game!

Beyond Enemy Lines - Rising Dragon is the newest entry in the Beyond Enemy Lines franchise hitting Steam Early Access in Summer 2022!
Beyond Enemy Lines - Rising Dragon is a modern warfare shooter set in the Quang-Xiong Island, an autonomous island in the east chinese sea. The island is of great military importance and the source of numerous conflicts. Whoever hasmilitary control over this territory, is in close range to attack china, taiwan, japan, as well as south and north korea.
Satellite intel reports a lot of recent activity on this island and satellite fotos indicate chinese forces occupied the island. China denies this information and confirms that it has not sent any troops to the region. We cannot verify the credibility of the statement, nor can we verify the identity of the occupiers.
We need to get to the bottom of this mess. You need to be careful - we don’t want a major international incident out of this.
Features:
Powered by Unreal Engine 5 with Lumen Global Illumination and Reflections
Command your own Squad
Modern arsenal of highly detailed weapons
Large, complex missions with full tactical freedom
Mid mission checkpoints
Beyond Enemy Lines - Rising Dragon is smaller game in scope then Beyond Enemy Lines 2. We target a story set on 3-4 Missions, each lasting for ~60 minutes. We want to test out new stuff with this game, like a own AI controlled squad you can gve orders to and dip our toe into releasing a game with a new Engine - Unreal Engine 5. Beyond Enemy Lines - Rising Dragon is building the foundation for Beyond Enemy Lines 3 ...
I asked on Social Media, Steam and other platforms what you want to see in the future. Here is the evaluation of this survey with 983 participants at the time of evaluation.
Click for full screen view
The majority of you (60%) want to see a new Singleplayer game developed. The diversity in genres you want to see us develop was a majot supprise. FPS games are by far (35%) the most requested games, as we develop mostly FPS games this is no big surprise. Followed by this are Simulation (14%) and Role Playing (13%) and Third Person Shooter and Action Adventire (12%).
Beyond Enemy Lines - The Role Playing experience? How would this sound to you? We will continue to focus on FPS games but will definitly consider developing smaller games in the other genres in the future.
We also asked which game you would like to see next. 35% of you want to see a new franchise, 28% a new Beyond Enemy Lines and as United Assault is still a very fresh game it already gathered a respectful 23%. As both Beyond Enemy Lines and United Assault got new content and games revealed in this news, let's jump to the new franchise ...
The new franchise
We asked for suggestions which game you would like to see. And apparently you have a very clear goal in mind for us. You want to see from us in the future:
A Singleplayer FPS with focus on Story, more linear gameplay with occasionally larger areas with more freedom. The games you mentioned where shocklingly simmilar.
You frequently Menitioned Golden Eye and other 007 games as well as No One Lives Forever.
We will follow your wishes and start concepting a new James Bond/No One Lives Forever like franchise together with you in 2022. More on this will follow next year!

This does not mean we are dropping any existing title support. There are still a lot of patches, bug fixes and content updates planned for various titles!

What is new?
removed several AI related CPU Bottlenecks
removed the agressive AI culling (disappearing and reappearing AI)

What does this mean? This update does not adress the behaviour of the AI, it should function the same way as befor but with slightly better performance and and less visible optimization errors. Please report back if the new optimization works, the AI still functioning as before and if the pop-in was succesfully reduzed.

Agents,
a new Beta update is now available. Optin the development_preview beta branch to download the newest version.
What is new?
added reworked console maps to the PC version
reworked the entire weapon code
attachements have now more impact on the handling of the weapon
added a crosshair and hitmarkers
changed projectile handling to a more traditional methode
What does this mean? The game is changing a lot and all those changes are still subject to change. We did not do a full QA run on all those changes so expect bugs or broken features. But this is what we are here for. Tell me your toughts, ideas and feedback. This is a early build and BEL 2 is back in beta with this update and not to be considered a release build. Also only the main campaign is open for tests at this point.

Agents,
a new update for Beyond Enemy Lines 2 is available. This 'small' update enabled Nvidia DLSS 2.0 features for users of Nvidia Cards. You can find the options in the Video Settings.
While this update is around 1,9gb in size for just DLSS, I want to give you a short glimps of whats going on and why it's nearly 2GB in size.
I'm currently reorganizing the entire Asset pool. I will today start and try to merge Maps with it's improvements of the Xbox One version into the PC. This step needes some rearangement of assets.
Why I'm doing this? Due to the porting process to consoles last year, each Platform has a seperate source branch with it's unique changes. This makes updating and maintaining the game nearly impossible. I will update the PC version with all Console improvements and go even further with the PC version. After this the new PC version will be brought to Xbox One and maybe Playstation 4 (the PS4 patch process is stupidly complex and fails 9 out of 10 times).

Agents,
a new Update for Beyond Enemy Lines 2 PC is now available! This new update is the first of many upcoming updates with the goal to revamp and improve the game. In this ongoing progress, we will try to fix remaining bugs, improve the gameplay and maybe even add new content. This is the very first update to lay the fundation of those changes. We upgraded from Unreal Engine 4.22 to 4.26 and with this needed to rework several parts of the game.
Changelog v31100
update to Unreal Engine 4.26
added early alpha version of RTX support (requires game to start in DX12 mode)*
cleaned and streamlined asset pool, reduzed file size from 38gb to 20gb
added more localization options
added volumetric clouds
reworked post processing, sky and lights across all missions
massivly improved driving physics
various smaller bug fixes
*RTX Support is realy an Alpha feature, maps are currently not optimized for RTX and Materials need addtional overhaul. We want to gather feedback on performance and will tweak the game step by step with upcoming updates. RTX is something new to us and we need to learn to master it.
What's coming next? We want to clean the code step by step and polish and streamline the player interactions and gunplay. We learned a lot sinze the development start of Beyond Enemy Lines 2 in 2017 and want to apply it to the game. This takes time and won't be completed within a week.
So when can we expect the next update? When it's done. We are focusing on a new project and updating the PC version of Beyond Enemy Lines 2 is a pure passion project which is done next to the new project. This unfurtunatly is the case as developing for PC is currently no viable option due to the bad marked conditions on Steam and we are not expecting to generate many sales with or without updates.
Whats about Beyond Enemy Lines 2 Online? In the progress of updating the engine, we needed to break the multiplayer part of Beyond Enemy Lines 2 as several used plugins dropped support and do no longer operate with the newest version of Unreal Engine 4. We are looking into fixing the new issues and get it interally running again. If we can achieve this in a reasonable time, BEL2 Online will get the same visual updates and possible gameplay and content updates again.
Agents, since the work on the Console version of Beyond Enemy Lines 2 has been finished, I started to port back some of the new features and improvements brought to the game by the console version. In addition to this, what would you like to see added as PC specific features? ___
