Greetings Rogues!
Today, we’ve released the Winter Warfare update to bring a new version of an old map & kick off a new Event Pass! As a heads up, Ranked will continue on its current season for the launch of this update. This update focuses on the new contents, balance adjustments, and bringing back some favorites. Let’s open up our presents early with the changes:
It’s a wonderland of festive goods are found in this update’s 35 level Event Pass! Contained within are some snazzy cosmetics, starting off with the ice-cold Arctic Android Dahlia and ending with Jackal Dallas!
700 Rogue Bucks
3000 Rogue Bucks
Make way for the return of Canals! Canals 2 features reworked play spaces with a focus on the mid-map area of all three lanes. You’ll find this map in the following Queues:
Snipers Only is making a return to Rogue Company! In this mode, players begin the match with both a legendary LR-15 and a legendary Tyr, with the ability to buy some perks as the rounds progress. Outside weapons are strictly prohibited! This game mode will be featured on the maps Favelas, Breach, Factory, and Glacier.
Gl1tch’s passive is great for identifying enemy positions and dodging potentially dangerous encounters. This buff is aimed at increasing his play potential by extending the range of intel he can gather.
This small bump in ability range should help Talon in encounters where weapons he’s pulling are just out of reach.
Vy’s maximum health steal passive is very strong in reducing the time to kill of enemy opponents and increasing her own. This change is meant to reduce that capability.
We previously reduced the fire rate from 300 → 273rpm, this buff should bring the Hydra in line with the rest of the AR class.
The nightshade as a hybrid SMG/AR has been struggling relative to the SMG class and struggling relative to the AR class. This change brings its accuracy loss per shot closer to its SMG peers in an attempt to make it more viable.
The objection is slightly lagging relative to its peers in the SMG category. Given the weapons overall inaccuracy, this increase in headshot damage should make the weapon more lethal in the close and close-mid ranges.
Missing a hip fire shot tended to be quite punishing given the overall accuracy, speed, and stopping power of this weapon. This change is to reduce the likelihood of missing an initial hip fire shot and being severely punished.
The Riptide had an incredible initial and sustaining accuracy. These changes should keep the first 4-5 shots of the weapon highly accurate but reduce the ability of players to hold down firing with perfect accuracy well into their magazines. The Riptide will continue to reward players who can consistently land headshots but now players will be punished for missing headshots, by needing to stop and reset their aim.
The Conviction has exceptionally high falloff ranges. This change is in order to bring its first falloff range down a bit to be more in line with most other weapons available.

Greetings Rogues!
Today, we’re releasing the Bounce House update to add some silly fun to the weekends while bringing up some Rogues’ balance & fine-tuning weapons. As previously shared, we’ve extended some content like the Ranked Season & Event Pass out till later this year, when we plan to do a larger update. This will include a new Event Pass, additional balance adjustments, and the refresh of a map missing in action. We’re excited to share more as we get closer to that update! Until then, let’s bounce into the current changes:
This weekend-only mode features Rogue Company in a more arcade-y less punishing light. Players take significantly less damage from all sources. Rogues are equipped with impact grenades that knock back enemies on an ultra-short cooldown and a baseball bat that will yeet your opponents off the map. This map features King of the Hill on Rooftops. Unique abilities and other weapons are disabled in this game mode. For the launch of the update, Bounce House will be live during the initial week! Good luck staying on the point!
Fixer has been struggling with win-rate for an extended period of time. When he’s not used as a direct counter to high-armor foes, his kit struggles to keep up. These changes are directed at increasing his general utility in matchups against a broad set of rogues. The dramatic change to his smoke grenade cooldown should give him a much stronger ability as a Defender to hold down lanes and stall pushes, and give him a higher chance at being able to achieve his full kit synergy in single-life game modes.
Sigrid has been struggling with being a viable rogue and sits at the bottom of our rogue pool in terms of win-rate. She’s challenged when she attempts to close gaps versus lethal gadget-wielding foes and as a breacher, there’s a deep conflict there compared to Rogues who have kits that help them in those scenarios.
ViVi’s ability is strong when initially popped but rapidly fades. The shorter cooldown capabilities we’ve added here are directed at letting her experience the initial power spike of her ability more often and reduce the time between those spikes.
We previously reduced the fire rate from 750 → 600rpm, this partial revert should help it be in a more competitive state.
The Tyr falls short in almost all metrics when compared to the LR15 Fullbody. By changing its hipfire accuracy to allow for close range & some mid range flexibility, it should have more utility than its counterpart to compete effectively during close and mid range combat. Under 15 meters, players should expect to be able to land hipfire shots, and above 15 meters it should be rare to hit one.
The Devotion struggles compared to peers in the DMR category. This is a first attempt at bringing up its viability. We will be monitoring the effects of this change and looking to continue to buff it if it remains a less viable option.
This weapon can’t hit as hard or fire as fast as some peers, so to help give it a relative strength we are buffing its mid-range damage.
The Knight feels good right now and we don’t want to change that, but we observe that it’s close and mid-range TTK beats every assault rifle in the game; defeating the purpose of assault rifles. We want it to still be a strong relative choice. It’s TTK will be unaffected from 0-12m, but in the 12-17m range it will hit as hard as the assault rifle class instead of stronger than that class.
The Hydra is by far the dominant assault rifle in the game and this change should bring it more in line with its peers.
We are aware of an issue where players names appear as blank when loading into some matches.

Greetings Rogues!
As this is our first time properly introducing ourselves, we’re Evil Mojo! Some of you may know us as the development team behind Paladins & Realm Royale, but many of you probably discovered us for the first time when it was shared that we had merged development responsibilities with our sister studio First Watch. We appreciate your patience while we have been going through the merging process and figuring out what the new combined studio will look like. It’s been quite an adjustment for us as we learn from some of the Rogue Company devs on the team, but it’s a challenge we took head on with the release of ViVi. We've been excited to see all the love for her & are honored we could bring First Watch's hard work on her into the spotlight.
We know some of you have been frustrated by a lack of communication since our arrival, so we want to share what's happening with Rogue Company. To address any immediate fears: We're still supporting and updating Rogue Company & will address key community issues that occur. We have people working on the game today as we speak. However, we're a small team with multiple projects, so there will naturally be changes from the traditional Rogue Company cadence you’ve had in the past. There will be slower updates, with more emphasis on balance and QoL, the first of which should arrive in the coming month. This leads into our general development goals for the game.
Our goals for Rogue Company are to maintain the current version of the game you all play, with no more sudden shifts or massive overhauls to the core systems. We know that the game has had plenty of large changes throughout its life, and every player has their favorite era. If you enjoy Rogue Company as it is today, it's going to stay that style of experience. We’re still dedicated to improving & preserving the integrity of the game, as well as keeping things fresh. We're aware that may be a bit of a bummer for some, but we want to be transparent about our focus on supporting the existing community and players. You all are what keep Rogue Company going with your passion, and it's our job to help ensure you can continue playing into the future. We still are cooking up some helpful balance changes headed to the sandbox, and a few small surprises up our sleeve for the future.

Vivi, a rock star with exceptional talent and widespread fame in the music industry, bought her way into Rogue Company by providing them with valuable intel on a Jackal infiltrator. Her proactive, impulsive, and adrenaline-fueled personality is infectious and inspires her Rogue Company teammates to push beyond their limits and achieve victory.
[Designer Notes on Gameplay Experience]
ViVi is a rockstar rogue that’s ready to shake up the scene by rallying her team during engagements and then sliding through the frontline and shredding with her Dual Boyar SMGs. Stage Presence allows ViVi to boost her allies’ health and movement before breaching a position to give her team the edge, or while breaching to help give those allies some breathing room. Smooth Moves will help her slice and dice the combat field and quickly make her presence felt during a team fight!

[Designer Notes on Gameplay Experience]
The Dual Boyar SMGs are equipped with an extraordinarily high rate-of-fire and a dual function to assist them in mid-range engagements. While hip-firing at close ranges they should shred opponents in a storm of bullets. The Boyars also feature a dual functionality where they fire at 75% of their rate of fire while aiming over shoulder in exchange for incredible accuracy. This should put them in a strong position for dueling assault rifles and longer range SMGs in the mid-range.

It is the first season of the year and we are opening with some changes, features and great rewards! This Season will run until the end of 3.4. Read on to see what we’ve done for ranked to see why.
Ranked Access Requirements Updated
]In previous updates, players only had to reach level 10 and have access to at least 10 Rogues in order to play. This was noticeably too low of a requirement and created situations where players who weren’t quite ready for the skill-gap when jumping in that early. Therefore, we are enacting the following changes:
This asks for players to put in a bit more time learning the rule sets, mechanics of the games and the nuances of our Rogues/Weapons before diving into competitive.
Draft Pick Bans Increased
Additionally, in a match we are updating the number of bans available to each team up to 2 Rogues. This results in a total of four Rogues to be banned out of a match. That is an entire team composition! It’ll be exciting to see how players will plan around this change to Draft Pick.Year 3 Season 1 Ranked RewardsThis Season we continue the trend of offering better tier rewards for our most devoted and high-skilled players that grind and compete in Ranked! The following Ranked Rewards are what you can gain by competing and being the best.
What this? Top Rogue Ranked Players? How are players supposed to know that? Well….
Rogue Company Ranked Leaderboard (Coming Soon)In the first step of rolling out version one of a feature that was most requested by our players, we are introducing the Ranked Leaderboards. In this first version, players will be able to view the leaderboard on our official website either by directly visiting in their browser or clicking a link/QR code found in game. This leaderboard sorts by your Rogue Points that you continue to accrue as you play ranked games after reaching Rogue Rank. This leaderboard will reset at the end of the season after we reward the top players with their exclusive ranked rewards for being the top 1000/500/100 players. We are excited to watch this leaderboard closely throughout the season to see who truly are the top players in our community!
This update also comes with yet another request frequently made by players which is raising the player level cap:
This comes with a flattening of XP from players that are already 550 and are sitting on considerable XP to avoid potential issues with our reward systems. Don’t worry, you’ll still be 550 and said players will also be rewarded with the exclusive “Uncapped” title to denote their investment of being incredibly dedicated players who enjoy Rogue Company. Players will be able to continue earning reputation rewards per level beyond 550 as well. Additionally, we have added Milestone Rewards to further reward players for achieving these major levels from enjoying our game. Get out there and level up!
In this Update we are introducing a new version of Highcastle called Highcastle Omega! This map boasts not only an amazing visual update but also new combat spaces and routes. You’ll find this map in the following Queues:
“But First Watch, what about Old Highcastle?!” Worry not! We felt that the gameplay differences between the two maps are significant enough to warrant them both being in the map pool! We look forward to playing this new map with you all and excited to hear what you think!
RoguesIn this update, players will see the return of a gameplay role: Intel. This role specializes helping their team to gain information on enemy positions to turn engagements in their favor. They sit in the middle of the spectrum between support and duelist, gathering intel while also being able to hold their own as they put themselves at risk for their team. We’ve done this as it opens up a creative avenue for how we approach a collective of rogues that have similar toolsets and opens the door for new intel ideas for the future! You’ll see a good number of rogues that used to have this role step back into it and some of the newer rogues assume it as well. Some of these Rogues require little-to-no changes as they’re already well-equipped for the task.Intel Rogues

Welcome to the Pre-Season of 2023! What does that mean exactly? Well, we have a lot of work to do for the new direction of our balancing and identity of our rogues. This comes with big reinvigorating changes(holistic/targeted and buffs/nerfs) that we want to frontload the year with and we want players to have some time to breathe and adapt to them before we open the doors to this year’s Ranked Season in 3.2(which will see some changes, stay tuned). We are looking forward to hearing your feedback and we’ll see you out in the field!Additionally Glacier has been added to Ranked Strikeout! Enjoy!
Wingman QuickplayIn this update, we are introducing a Wingman Quickplay queue that we will rotate with the current Quickplay each week. We intend on introducing more and better Quickplay queues to give our players a better variety of game modes each update.

Trench returns a changed man from his horrific accident. His warmth turned cold in the pursuit of the traitor who nearly brought him down. There is a connection between what happened to him and with the AI from Meltdown. Paranoia and stress mounts amongst the rogues. Learn more about how his change impacts those around him and also take some time to earn the rewards tied to the event!
We’ve heard our core players about some lacking elements in our engagement and more opportunities for Rep and/or rewards. In this update, we’d like to introduce Weekly Contracts. With this feature, players will be given a set of 5 challenging Contracts every Tuesday. Each contract will award the player with an amount of reputation for completing them and, if they complete all 5 within the week, they will receive a Reward Supply Drop as well. Remember, you have before the next Tuesday to complete all 5, so get out there and have fun! We hope that this feature will challenge our players and give them more goals to work towards. Let us know what you think of this feature and it’s challenges.
Quick Play is quickly becoming a popular queue with our playerbase. Learning this, we are refining our Quick Play queue to be everchanging throughout the 2.8 patch. Every Tuesday, our Quick Play queue will have some mixture of 4 of the following game modes:
Similar to Depot, we are bringing Canals back in house to see if we can give it some major gameplay improvements to work better for all of our game modes. Please look forward to its future release!
Thermal Vision: In addition to seeing thermal signatures of his enemies, Fixer now has “White-Hot” precision zones from the chest-high all the way up to the top of his enemies' heads. Hitting the White-Hot precision zones awards bonus damage while the ability lasts.
Fixer’s passive has been reworked to Full Metal Jacket: Fixer’s Firearm damage now ignores enemy armor.
Our two goals with this rework were to:
The combination of bonus damage for precision hits and ignoring enemy armor turns The Fixer into a solid counter-pick against heavily armored targets. With the introduction of perk rarity, we saw an increase in both the magnitude and availability of armor, as well as the need for a natural armor predator. While shredder rounds helps provide some counterplay, we think there’s room for anti-armor to be a part of a Rogue kit. Fixer’s current passive wasn’t fun to play with or against & he was a perfect candidate for the niche given his backstory of a lethal, high-precision hitman. We also weren’t happy with how Thermal Vision felt to use without a cluster smoke available, which was happening a lot more often with the introduction of the Gadget Cooldown system. Using Thermal Vision without a smoke grenade in front of you felt almost useless, so we wanted to add something impactful and thematic. Bonus damage for precision hits felt like it hit the mark for who Fixer is, as well as making his traditionally difficult to master weapon arsenal more appealing.
For Chaac, his passive was meant to give him incredible survivability while down, anything to help give him the time he needs to either self revive or be revived. For the longest time, there was friction point in his passive where, while being revived, he could not dodge roll, this often felt worse when a revive came his way unprompted(drones and Dahlia). In this update, we have come back around and smoothed this out so that he can now use the dodge-roll-while-down part of his passive while being revived. Happy rolling Chaac Mains!
With Battle Zone becoming more of a staple in our Quick Play queue, we want to get under its hood and figure out if we can further improve and enhance the gameplay experience with a new shop experiment. We’ve change the shop in a way that we hope gives the player more agency and customization over their shop decisions as they deal with an ever-changing match. Players will have access to a wider range of perks, ones that can be further invested into to make them even stronger. Additionally, if you’re the type to not give into chance, you can purchase a select few weapons and come into the zone more confident with your loadout. Take this new shop for a spin in Battle Zone and give us your feedback!
With our 2.7 mid-patch balance updates, we are going to continue to gather data and observe the new patch. Look forward to the 2.8 mid-patch balance updates.

Our Rogues infiltrate a high society party in a familiar place as Party Crashers to gather intel on potential new leads against Jackal. In this battle pass, Rogues come glitzed out in high fashion(some outfits you may have seen before in an update show long ago) with cosmetics for Lancer, Ronin, Juke, and Trench. Lastly, this wouldn't be a party if you didn't come with your trusty +1, the Mythic SLC Mixtape weapon skin!

Year 2 Season 4 Ranked Rewards
The following rewards will be distributed based upon eligibility:
Glacier
Glacier has received an update to help speed up rotations and minimize the vertical stacking of major combat spaces.
Draft Pick Improvements
Based on Player feedback, we're adjusting the allocation of picks in our ranked draft modes, as having first ban and the first two picks was too strong. As a result, the draft will now flow in a more familiar format:
Weapon Mastery Expanded
We've had challenges and unlocks for our secondaries and melee's since the initial release of the weapon mastery system, everything but the ultimate reward of unlocking the weapons to be used on other Rogues. It's time. Now fully mastered melee weapons and pistols can be swapped between rogues. We have also retrofitted a bunch of our newer melee weapons onto characters that we think are good fits for them, making them a bit more accessible to be mastered for those who may not own all of the newer rogues. See under Game Balance for more details on these changes.
Rogues
Scorch
With the introduction of the Volatile and Energized increasing both the potency and frequency of Overheat, we think a slight cooldown nerf is in order.
Trench
Dallas
Lancer
Dima
Anvil
A while ago, we changed Anvil's ability, Barricade, so that he could deploy two barricades simultaneously. We also wanted the ability to store two charges since that's how other multi-charge deployables function. Unfortunately, we could not make this change because of the "Break Glass" functionality of the Barricade. However, we think it's more worthwhile to be able to store two charges of Barricade, so we have removed the "Break Glass" functionality from the ability. You can still break the glass if you want to by shooting the small yellow canisters inside the shield. We believe this is a net buff to Barricade, so we are raising the cooldown slightly to compensate.
Dahlia
Fixer
Runway
Gadgets
Targeting Through Smoke
We are addressing an unintended exploit brought about by the complexities of our VFX within Unreal Engine.
Perks
Gadgeteer
We wanted to err on the side of caution with the initial release of the gadgeteer perk, lest the perk be too strong and send us back to more gadget-heavy gameplay. Unfortunately, the perk has proven to be ineffective for the cost, so we are increasing its effectiveness and increasing the price of each tier slightly.
Weapons
LR15 & Tyr
We have reintroduced Flinch to our snipers. Flinch makes your crosshair bounce to simulate your character "flinching" as they take damage from other sources. The goal here is to make snipers easier to punish when they're fighting within the effective range of AR's & SMG's.

Get entrenched in the 2.6 update, Revelation! In this update, a key member of Rogue Company gets caught in Jackal's crosshairs during the Fallen Heroes Narrative Event! Additionally, this update brings a core update to our gameplay experience, and we see a return of some older modes (with updates!).
The conflict between Rogue Company and Jackal rages on as both organizations trade blows in sorties all around the globe. Jackal aims to strike at the heart of Rogue Company by coordinating an assassination against a long-time pillar of Rogue Company, Trench. This event brings about objectives keyed towards taking out certain rogue types in exchange for revealing the ongoing lore and some great cosmetics, one of which being a new outfit for Trench! Speaking of Trench...
As the world of Rogue Company changes, so has one of our oldest Rogues. Forever changed by the ongoing fight against Jackal, Trench walks back into the field with a scowl instead of his smile. What happened? Find out in the narrative event!
All players will have access to this new default look and voice for Trench, but don't worry: all players will still have access to his old appearance as the "Classic Trench" skin.
In this update, we see old game modes return, some of which have received updates! Details and changes are listed below.
In Sabotage, a neutral bomb is deployed mid-field for both teams to contend over. When a player picks up the bomb, their team gains ownership of it, revealing the holding player to all players. The player and their team must fight to the now-visible enemy bomb zone and plant to score! Planting can be difficult, but once done, detonation is almost immediate, securing your team the win!
If you run into a stalemate, the team with the most kills will win the round when time runs out. Let us know what feedback you have for this game mode!
Extraction gets an update in Revelation. Here are the details:
Strikeout 2.0 is an experimental mutation of Strikeout with some significant changes. Try it out and give us feedback!
We recently reduced the level requirement for players to participate in Ranked play. However, many players entering Ranked had a small pool of Rogues to choose from. This change brings the number of Rogues required to play Ranked to a total of ten (four owned, six free).
One significant feedback point from many of our core players was the abundance of gadget spam. This was most prevalent in our respawn-based modes, where players had immediate access to their gadgets upon respawn. The introduction of Rogues like Runway also strongly impacted the saturation of gadgets in combat situations. To address this, we've converted the gadget system to function similar to Rogue abilities and have rebalanced gadgets across the board. Please look to the Game Balance section below for more details.
In this update, we are happy to finally bring you the mastery rewards for the 8th and 9th levels of Rogue Mastery for all Rogues! We hope you enjoy these outfits and wear them with pride.

Juke
We've heard your concerns that Juke feels like she has turrets available too often. Also, the feedback enemies hear while being hit by said turrets is too overbearing for the relatively low amount of damage the turrets deal.
Objection
The Objection has some of the highest accuracy stats among all SMGs. It's intended for the weapon to be compact and accurate when you begin firing but quickly bloom out, given the incredibly high fire rate. These changes should help reduce the weapon's effective range without hurting its ability to secure kills up close.
Tyr & LR15 Fullbody
We want to tone back the effectiveness of "no-scopes" This is primarily an issue with the Tyr as you can quickly fire back-to-back shots.

Get entrenched in the 2.6 update, Revelation! In this update, a key member of Rogue Company gets caught in Jackal's crosshairs during the Fallen Heroes Narrative Event! Additionally, this update brings a core update to our gameplay experience, and we see a return of some older modes (with updates!).
The conflict between Rogue Company and Jackal rages on as both organizations trade blows in sorties all around the globe. Jackal aims to strike at the heart of Rogue Company by coordinating an assassination against a long-time pillar of Rogue Company, Trench. This event brings about objectives keyed towards taking out certain rogue types in exchange for revealing the ongoing lore and some great cosmetics, one of which being a new outfit for Trench! Speaking of Trench...
As the world of Rogue Company changes, so has one of our oldest Rogues. Forever changed by the ongoing fight against Jackal, Trench walks back into the field with a scowl instead of his smile. What happened? Find out in the narrative event!
All players will have access to this new default look and voice for Trench, but don't worry: all players will still have access to his old appearance as the "Classic Trench" skin.
In this update, we see old game modes return, some of which have received updates! Details and changes are listed below.
In Sabotage, a neutral bomb is deployed mid-field for both teams to contend over. When a player picks up the bomb, their team gains ownership of it, revealing the holding player to all players. The player and their team must fight to the now-visible enemy bomb zone and plant to score! Planting can be difficult, but once done, detonation is almost immediate, securing your team the win!
If you run into a stalemate, the team with the most kills will win the round when time runs out. Let us know what feedback you have for this game mode!
Extraction gets an update in Revelation. Here are the details:
Strikeout 2.0 is an experimental mutation of Strikeout with some significant changes. Try it out and give us feedback!
One significant feedback point from many of our core players was the abundance of gadget spam. This was most prevalent in our respawn-based modes, where players had immediate access to their gadgets upon respawn. The introduction of Rogues like Runway also strongly impacted the saturation of gadgets in combat situations. To address this, we've converted the gadget system to function similar to Rogue abilities and have rebalanced gadgets across the board. Please look to the Game Balance section below for more details.

Hello Rogues!

The Operation: Daybreak Update seizes the day, packed dense with not only the Wasteland Wilds Battle Pass, but also Juke, Rogue Company’s latest addition, a map visual update, several Project Saint updates, and more!
In the ruinous landscape of the Wasteland Wilds our rogues skirmish and scavenge for cosmetics across 50 levels, earned by playing in Rogue Company matches. Every match gives you XP that help you unlock lock the gear you need to survive out in the wastes, be it the Inferno Positron MLX M4 Mythic or by scorching the earth with the Wasteland Scorch outfit!
Juke is the woman responsible for the creation of the world’s first true Artificial Intelligence. A brilliant scientist and engineer with multiple Ph.D.’s, Juke worked for Furmi.62, but joined Rogue Company in search of answers after her life's work was destroyed at Furmi.62's SCION facility by the Jackal Agent, Umbra.
Juke is a brilliant new rogue that brings with her tons of cutting-edge technology to change the way you can maneuver and set up around the map as a defender. The Juke Boots offer a way to reach heights that were before unreachable! Your Laser Defense Drones allow you to quickly entrench yourself in a new position, while the Reflector introduces a fun new way to send your opponents cascading to their demise!

The first new season of the new year begins today, granting last season’s rewards and unlocking new ones to earn! We are moving this season of Ranked back to 4v4 and hope you enjoyed our experimental run of 3v3!
The following rewards will be given to those who are marked veterans in ranked and to those who have achieved Rogue tier for Year 2 Season 2 of Ranked:
The following rewards will be given to those who are marked veterans in ranked and to those who have achieved Rogue tier during the active season:
We’re adding a system in Rogue Company called Supply Drops and here’s a TLDR:
If you'd like more details please check out our blog!
In this update, we are reintroducing Depot, a skirmish map that has undergone a visual overhaul to not only meet our standard for quality but also have a better place in the world of Rogue Company. Depot is one of many training grounds used by Rogue Company for Rogues to hone their skills(or even settle scores with each other) to keep in peak condition. We look forward to your feedback!
In this update, we aim to improve the overall draft pick experience for our ranked and custom games. This overhaul entails a polished new rogue select experience, cleaner ban experience and unique rogue limitations. In addition, players will no longer re-draft their rogues at half-time. This will have players approach their matches in a more tactical ‘give and take’ mindset in the rogue select phase of the match. We hope you enjoy this update and look forward to your feedback
To further expand the ranked experience for our players: as an experiment, we are introducing a separate ranked queue for Strikeout. Strikeout has shown to be a very popular game mode and, for a good while, there wasn’t a place that the strikeout diehards could graduate to and have a place in the competitive environment. In this update, please try out the ranked experience for Strikeout, complete with the Draft Pick Rogue Select improvement that we detailed above. Let us know what you think!

At First Watch Games, we’ll never forget the day we first shared Rogue Company with you. It was July 20, 2020 – almost two years ago – when we entered Closed Beta. We only had 13 Rogues, just 7 Maps… and we were missing a lot of really important features. We didn’t even have a Battle Pass!
Just a few months later, in September of 2020, we entered Open Beta – and opened the floodgates to millions of players as a free-to-play title. Today, we’ve seen more than 25 million players jump into our game.
Since entering Open Beta, we’ve spent the last year and nine months continuing to improve Rogue Company alongside our community, adding features like Rogue Mastery, Weapon Mastery, Next Gen Native Versions, a Steam release, Monthly Login Bonuses, Human Backfill, Narrative Events, and MVP. We’ve brought collaborations with Dr. DisRespect and Rambo, new modes like Battle Zone and Dodgeball, and so much more.
Our work is not done. But we’ve come a long way. We’ve added 9 Rogues, 7 Maps, 9 Weapons, and 12 game modes since Beta went live. And Rogue Company is finally in a place where we think it can hold its own.
We’re excited to announce that we’ve reached the end of our Beta and will enter into our full release with our next update. This beefy update will feature a new Rogue, a new Season, and some sweet new features that you’ll hear more about in our update show.
There’s much more to come this year (including a fantastic crossover that we can’t tell you about just yet). But also expect us to change how we approach updates to Rogue Company, focusing less on major new features and more on adding strong content, continually improving quality, and addressing key community concerns.
We could not have reached this point without you, and all the amazing support from our community and players. We’ll be doing a little something for you soon – stay tuned for details on our End of Beta Bash celebration. Thank you again for your support, and we can’t wait to see you on the battlegrounds of Rogue Company!
