Ho, ho, ho, commanders!
Welcome back to this very last WARNO DevBlog of the year. We’ll have some exciting news about Nemesis #5, some other bits and bops, and also share with you some early holiday season greetings before the Eugen team retires for the Christmas holidays!
Onwards.
Nemesis #5 Release Date
First up is Nemesis #5 - Southern Flank. We have a confirmed (yup, hold on to your hats) release date, which will be January 6th, meaning the second week of 2026. We need to finalize the last details and make sure that the Strike Team has had a good chance to play around with the DLC’s two new divisions. They will also be allowed to stream it soon!
Nemesis #5 - Southern Flank keeps the SOUTHAG theme, focusing on two new battlegroups in the southern reaches of the West German front, near the Austrian border. The DLC features the Spanish División de Infantería Mecanizada «Guzmán el Bueno» n.º 2, or Mechanised Division No.2 "Guzmán el Bueno" for NATO, and the Czechoslovakian 2. Motostřelecká Divize, or 2nd Motor Rifle Division fighting for the Warsaw Pact.
You’ll get to play with an arsenal of new units, from light M47E2 tanks, GUERILLEROS commandos, OBÚS 105/26 REINOSA howitzer and L-10D3 300mm MLRS, to POHRANIČNÍCI mountain warfare border guards, SU-7BKL ground attack aircraft, and R-330T TARAN recon vehicles.
XM-477 SLAMMER
The Nemesis #5 will also see a (by that time slightly belated) Christmas gift in the form of an extra unit for the existing US 101st Airborne Division: the XM-477 SLAMMER (see more information here). This is a great example of a repurposed weapon, or “how not to let unused helicopter rocket pods go to waste”!
This particular weapon system was invented and tested by the armorers of the 101st Airborne, and was made up of six 19-rocket Hydra pods slapped together on a makeshift towed MLRS. It was envisioned to boost the firepower of the division’s airborne troops once feet were on the ground. Being unique to this division, it will in WARNO come with the Airlifted trait.
This new weapon will become available when Nemesis #5 - Southern Flank releases in the new year!
Until The New Year
This Christmas break means that we won’t be back until the week of the 5th of January. When we return, we will give you an updated roadmap for all the cool things coming to WARNO in 2026!
And not only that, but we’ll also do a showcase of the new deck creation UI as soon as possible, including new division descriptions (the scribes have been hard at work).
From the whole Eugen Systems team: we wish you happy holidays and all the best for 2026!
