Soldiers!
We would like to say a massive thank you to everyone for your support and feedback since we released our re-announcement trailer, the enthusiasm for ‘83 and what we are building has been brilliant and we’re very excited to share more with you on the road to launch.
Since the announcement, the ‘83 team has been growing rapidly across development, community, cinematics and marketing, and we plan to share development progress here showcasing updates across different maps, weapons, gameplay mechanics and what to expect when it comes to ‘accessible realism’ in ‘83.
Development update - April 2025
Our level design team has officially begun crafting brand new environments, expanding the future battlegrounds you'll explore. While we can't reveal specifics just yet, the process of bringing these new locations from concept to reality is well underway and incredibly exciting for us.
Simultaneously, we've been dedicating significant effort to refining the core experience. This includes ongoing network optimization work aimed at ensuring smooth, stable online gameplay. Our animation department has also been busy, focusing on enhancing the feel and responsiveness of weapon handling to make those in-game moments even more immersive.
Underpinning all of this is our continued work with Unreal Engine 5. We're constantly striving to harness the power of UE5 to deliver the best possible visual fidelity and performance for '83.
It's been a productive period, and the positive energy in the studio is palpable.
