What's up for the future?
We are now midway through the early access phase and it was a great success until now and hopefully in the future! You are an amazing community, the talks, the feedback and ideas and passion you put into this game is astonishing!
Whats coming in the short run?
AI
We hear your voices and feedback clearly. With the new update v0.6.0 we added parts which where initially planned for update 0.7.0. By doing this we opened the possibility to focus more on the AI for the next update. But (yeah there needs to be an unfortunate but) ween need to keep your expecations grounded. We will work on the AI, the balancing, timings and other improvements like animations. But please don't expect the AI to become a genius with update 0.7.0. Due to the extremly random nature of this game and the sheer number of AI (rougly 1000 soldiers are constantly simulated) we have limitations and hard constraints. We try to do our best to squeeze more out of it and get the AI more natural.
Weapons
We'll begin adding new weapons in the next updates again and raise the level cap. Grenades are also planned to be added soon!
Campaign
The Campaign will be made available in the last update before the game leaves Early Access. We are starting voice recordings for the campaign next week!
Whats coming in the long run?
We are committing ourself to United Assault! We will release a standalone expension later this year (again as an Early Access release). And before you type in anger 'This game isn't even finished - focus on this one instead', keep calm and continue reading!
The expansion is not in full development right now. This will start once United Assault exits Early Access! We know what we want to do and a few assets have been created to block out the very rough layout of the new map. This expansion will be build on top of the existing United Assault - Normandy '44. This means feature improvements made with the expansion will be made available for free in the base game via patch. Selected new weapons of the expansion will find their way into the base game.
This means, more content for you for free!
