Xbox release
We are finally launching Xbox version of the game the 16th of february 2024!
The game will be available on both Xbox One and Series X|S, and it will feature all PC features up to version 1.3.1, except for the Steam Workshop features.
Switch release
We also recently updated Switch version to 1.3.1 to bring the new reworked uniforms, and various improvements and fixes up to this version.
Poll about future campaigns
We recently run a poll about future campaigns, and apparently North Africa (we will see what campaigns specifically soon) is what most players would like to see next, so we will start working into this free campaign very soon!
However Kos rework still has priority and works on the new campaign will not start before we finish the current rework, probably in 2-3 months.
Ardennes 1940 & 1944
We recently released the new DLC, which inlcudes 2 new campaigns: Early war France invasion and late war Battle of the bulge!
The campaigns consists on 13 new missions, 2 new maps, and a lot of new game content including French faction, new weapons, new uniforms, new vehicles and many new mission editor props!
You can finally get the new campaign here:

AI Rework
We started recently looking into the AI rework. This is most likely gonna take a couple months, and will include a more performant and smarter AI, plus the addition of various new features to the system as suggested by players in the Discord server.
TPS Animations Rework
We're continuously enhancing the game by incorporating new and reworked third-person shooter (TPS) animations on a weekly basis. If you'd like to stay in the loop on our upcoming animation improvements, you can find a detailed list on our Discord server.
Normandy Campaign
We released the Normandy Campaign earlier this summer after working on it for over 9 months. We are very happy with the positive reception that it has received. Thank you to everyone who has played it!

Extra informations
In case you didn't know we have defined a precise roadmap for the next months of development and you can read it here.
We keep improving all features of the base game and as always we will be going on listening to suggestions from people inside the Steam Discussions and the Discord server.
The updates for the base game we are constantly releasing are very expansive, so if you are interested on giving us a hand to make a better work, this is our Patreon. All the money raised from this will be spent to make a better game.
Thank you all,
