Hello, hello!
Commanders, it is good to be back. We entered a bit of a “quiet time” when it comes to Steel Division 2, but that doesn’t mean we have some nice things to show.
Keep reading to find out more!
A brief update on Steel Division’s development
One reason for the temporary slowdown is that most of the EUGEN team working on Steel Division 2’s Cold War cousin WARNO. The major milestone for this game - GROUCHY - is nearing completion, and as they say in the industry, it’s all “hands on deck” to get it out of the door. Business as usual will return after this!
While things are moving slower, content for Steel Division 2 is progressing nicely. For instance, don’t forget that we have revealed the new Valley of Death map, thematically linked to the next Steel Division 2 Army General expansion, the Dukla Pass. This map will be released for free to all owners of Steel Division 2.
However, we can show the good art progress and tweaked visuals related to the next “divisional expansion,” Steel Division: Tribute to Normandy ‘44.
- All art for infantry cards is done and integrated.
- All the new models and variants are finished as well.
- Most of the model reskins have been done, including some airplanes that came out quite nicely!
We added a Belgian Spitfire after we detailed British 7th Armoured Division. One way to differentiate this division from other British battlegroups was to make its airforce multinational. The British Mitchell II bombers were escorted by Spitfires from the Allied Belgian RAF 349 Squadron, as they did in real life during the bombing of Caen in the 7th Armoured Division’s sector. Close support, for instance, will be provided by New Zealand Tempest fighter-bombers. Both planes have been reskinned to show proper squadron markings and national emblems and use correct dialogue acknowledgments.
