The first phase of action-packed seasonal content begins with Rogue Ops next week, which includes a new map called Blackwell Fields built for all-out warfare chaos and an intense new 4v4 mode called Strikepoint.

This is followed by two additional first season content releases. California Resistance launches on November 18, and includes a map set in the suburbs of Southern California called Eastwood and a new mode called Sabotage where players must destroy as many sites as possible before the round ends.

Winter Offensive is the final Season 1 phase, launching on December 9, packed with special seasonal themed content, which also brings an icy chill to Empire State.

Seasonal content will be released on a consistent basis, adding maps, modes, weapons, and more, available on all platforms. All gameplay-impacting features will be free or earnable as part of our commitment to fair play and access for all players.

Blue Dot Games have just unveiled the latest in their Developer Tapes series showcasing different aspects of ‘83, their upcoming 40v40 squad-based tactical first-person shooter set in an alternate 1983 where the Cold War escalated into an all-out conflict. This latest video offers a sneak peek at its three war-torn maps awaiting players at ‘83’s Early Access launch.

If there was ever a point where World War III was expected to start, it was West Germany’s Fulda Gap. This crucible of modern armoured warfare is where ’83 shows its scale. Soviet forces have launched a massive offensive across this key corridor, backed by tanks and artillery. Rolling hills, fortified towns, dense forests, and exposed plains create a dynamic combat space where NATO forces scramble to hold the line against the relentless Soviet advance.

In the far North a Norwegian Fjord offers a strategically vital flashpoint due to its proximity to Soviet naval bases and the Atlantic sea lanes. While Soviets aim to control sea lanes, project naval power, and cut off NATO reinforcement routes to Western Europe, NATO aims to preemptively lock down this critically contested territory. Gameplay here is defined by verticality and harsh terrain. Mountain passes, fortified bunkers set deep into the rock, and coastal facilities offer diverse tactical opportunities and demand flexibility from both attackers and defenders.

Finally there’s the massive Duga over-the-horizon missile detecting radar, known as the “Woodpecker”. In ‘83 this is a key command-and-control hub, integral to the Soviet early warning network. Gameplay here blends open woodland with dense interior fighting around the radar structures, mixing long sightlines with brutal close-quarters battles. It’s a map that favours stealth, surprise, and sabotage and rewards teams that can coordinate under pressure.

’83 is coming to Steam Early Access later this year.

Sound the alarm and rally to the gates! Prepare yourselves for the arrival of a mighty trail and two fresh lords – the cunning Canary and the tricksome Trader! March your way across untouched new environments and showcase the depth of your true ability against remarkable new opponents in the first major DLC for Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition.

Sibling of the fan-favourite Rat, the Canary has a similarly craven attitude, preferring to harass invading forces with traps and infernal defences. The Trader is greed personified, a depraved gold-hungry merchant who prioritises a robust economy but won’t hesitate to attack with strength when required. Vanquishing these fierce foes will ultimately take wits, courage and perhaps a healthy dose of luck.

Carve a path to glory through nine thrilling missions, each designed to stress your tactics and game knowledge. Embrace the confrontation, improve with each struggle and climb to untold levels of prestige! Battling against the sly schemes of the Canary and the powerful economies of the Trader is not for the fair-hearted. Are you prepared for it?

The Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition v2.0 – Free Autumn Update has also been released!

The time is upon us, my Liege! Autumn has arrived and with it comes the eagerly-awaited Crusader DE Autumn Update!

Dust off your armour, sharpen your steel and charge into the fray! The first major update is here in two parts – a free content update and an optional DLC.

The free content showcases a new cruel CPU Lord, the Crocodile, as well as additional maps for Skirmish, Freebuild and Multiplayer.

The paid DLC will feature two new CPU commanders in the form of The Canary and The Trader, and a new 9 mission ‘Sands of Time’ skirmish trail – complete with target completion times and leaderboards.

The Autumn Update is now live on Steam!

Achtung, Panzer Generals!

Special announcement today! The Panzer Corps 2: Elite DLC continues with its second installment: a Soviet campaign titled 1st Guards!

As with the Ghost Division before, the focus once again falls on following the battles of the very best a nation involved in the Second World War had to offer, and for the Motherland, this means the Soviet Guards!

With the glowing reception and success of Elite – Ghost Division, and while larger mega campaigns continue their production, we’re eager to fulfill the ideal of the Elite series to bring each major nation its own Panzer Corps 2 campaign. And who better to represent the soldiers of the USSR in their debut campaign than the 1st Guards?

As before, the Elite series is also resolved to its commitment to fight against rising inflation, and will once again release at the 4.99 USD price point. We were extremely pleased with the player reception from Ghost Division, and see no good reason to arbitrarily raise this series’s price point.

Because in the end, that is what really matters, that we’re making great content that our players are excited to enjoy at fair exchange.

To uphold those values, we’ve got a great campaign lined up, filled with awesome battles of epic size. Elite – 1st Guards is stuffed full of key battles ranging from 1937 all the way to 1945, and you’ll be deploying almost twice as many CORE units to battle over the previous Ghost Division campaign.

The 1st Guards
When Operation Barbarossa was launched in June of 1941, there was no such thing as a ‘Guards’ unit. By the time World War II ended in 1945, over 200 formations carried the venerated title of ‘Guards’; from Guards Rifle Divisions to Guards Tank or Guards Mechanized Divisions to even Aviation Regiments and entire Guards Armies.

We’ll reveal a more information about this new campaign in an upcoming Developer Diary, but for now you can check out the store page for some more details and screenshots.

Every part of the aircraft has been crafted with precision – from the bomb bay and turrets to the pilot’s station, crew compartments, and tail gunner position.

Optional modern avionics offer additional navigational capabilities, while period-correct instruments allow pilots to experience the plane exactly as it was flown in the 1940s.
