Hey everyone,
Welcome to this week's developer briefing where we discuss our plans moving forward as well as a detailed look at a brand new map coming in Update 12!
With the release of Patch 17 behind us and the team hard at work developing new and exciting content for future updates, we think now is a great opportunity to take a step back and look at developer briefing timelines and how we release information moving forward. We have heard many suggestions from the community as to what they would prefer to see with these briefings and after a lot of internal discussion on the topic have elected to try a few ideas over the short term.
The first decision we have made will involve shifting the focus of developer briefings to contain more details on game related developments. To implement this type of information flow we have to be more timely with what and how we present it in the briefings, so initially as we look to roll this out we have made the decision to move the weekly developer briefings to a less frequent interval. In doing so grants us the flexibility to structure these briefings around new content when we’re ready to do so and allows us the time to give them the showcase they really deserve.
New Map - Remagen!
In light of the above and us moving forward to more content oriented briefings we thought it only fitting to highlight a new map coming to the Hell Let Loose theaters in the future.
The battle of ‘Remagen’ was part of the Allied invasion of Germany that took place during the 7th-25th March 1945. The Remagen map focuses on the iconic arena where the Ludendorff Railroad Bridge was central to the Allied advance of armor and troops across the Rhine river.
Ludendorff bridge was one of the last standing bridges over the Rhine and fierce fighting took place between both Axis and Allied forces in order to capture or destroy this vital supply route. Axis forces threw everything they had to try and destroy the Ludendorff bridge, artillery, railway guns, air strikes, mortars, mines and even a covert team of frogmen/saboteurs all to no avail.
The Lodendorff bridge stood (although some portions were damaged) well enough to allow 5 divisions of allied troops to spearhead across the river Rhine and into Germany's industrial heartland. The battle of Remagen and the following capture of the bridgehead across the Rhine river was credited with shortening the duration of WW2.
In Update 12 Hell Let Loose, players will be battling during the period shortly before the US successfully captures the bridge, prior to its capture and prominent collapse 10 days later.
