Hello there!
It’s high time for a general update on the status of several (ongoing) Steel Division 2 DLCs and expansions. Unfortunately, in recent months, we have run into various unexpected roadblocks along the way, which set the team back.
Today’s post is a mea culpa from our side. We promise we make it up to you… keep reading to find out.
The general state of things
Now, a summary of the most recent Steel Division 2 developments.
First things first: we are still on track with the upcoming patch and new Kostritza map, as talked about in last week’s post. Kostritza is being tested by the Strike Team, and thanks to their invaluable feedback, we are making some final tweaks and improvements. More details further below.
We announced both a new expansion - Tribute to the Liberation of Italy - and a new DLC - Nemesis: Raid on Drvar - several months ago. We expected we would have been able to deliver both to you by now. However, in reality, we encountered some detours on our path, which pushed back our projects.
For instance, we tried to do too many things at the same time for Steel Division 2, which included launching Nemesis: Storming Toulon, our Army General Coop Mode, developing Nemesis: Raid on Drvar AND the Tribute to the Liberation of Italy expansion.
On top of that, we were also working on a DLC for Wargame: Red Dragon, the new Nation Pack: South Africa, which we released not too long ago.
And… something else - something pretty big - has been steadily cooking in Eugen’s kitchen for quite some time now. What, how, where, who… hang in tight, but the day is edging closer that we can reveal it. Fair to say that this secret project has taken a fair bit of our attention as well.
New Reinforcement Packs
As you can read, we have been hard at work. But, in order to iron out any wrinkles our unforeseen delays might have created, we want to offer you - the community - something.
Two new free Reinforcement Packs for Steel Division 2 will be made available soon, one of them being the Kostritza map. The other new Reinforcement Pack will contain two new divisions, hand-picked from the Nemesis DLC options that never made it. These will feature new units (but no new models). We will reveal soon which divisions they will be.
Both of these Reinforcement Packs will be delivered before the release of Tribute to the Liberation of Italy.
See you around
Now, you have to wait a little longer, but exciting things lie on the near horizon. Trust us, lots of interesting news will drop in the not-too-distant future!
