Nuclear War Simulator has a Beta live for our next update. The Meyer update will see a Campaign mode with missions and objectives added to the game, along with a scenario creation wizard, improvements to the radiation model, and bug fixes.
Footage from HoW 2024 showing off a short scenario and nuclear strike in the new update.
Joining the Beta is simple. On Steam, right-click the Nuclear War Simulator icon from your library and select "Properties". From there head on over to the Betas section and opt into the Open Beta.
By signing up for the Beta you can get access to Meyers early, and help us stomp some irradiated bugs before the full release.
