With the release of Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition almost upon us, Firefly Studios has saved the best for last, with today’s video update revealing their full post-launch release plan! In addition to the usual fixes, improvements and balancing expected of an expanded RTS remaster like Crusader, Firefly is also planning two major updates coming later this year.

Following the positive reception of their two public demos, the first released on January 20th alongside the game’s reveal and a second in June’s Steam Next Fest, the ‘castle sim’ developer can now commit to two major content updates. As a result the aforementioned Autumn and Winter Updates will both be released this year, alongside two separate paid DLCs.

Alongside community driven features coming at launch, which include new buildings and increased unit caps, Firefly’s post-release plan supplements those already confirmed. With 93% of players expressing an interest in Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition DLC, it was clear to the developer that post-launch content was something their community wanted, not exactly a surprise for their favourite game!

The free Autumn Update will feature a series-first economic campaign as well as a brand new CPU commander. Five missions will challenge players to complete a series of economic objectives, leaning heavily into the city builder gameplay mechanics of the castle builder series. The new computer-controlled commander can meanwhile be played as friend or foe, selectable in the game’s offline skirmish and online multiplayer modes as an opponent or ally. Last but not least, three new maps will also be added, one for skirmish, another in Free Build mode and a balanced multiplayer battlefield.

Following this content drop, the game’s free Winter Update will add perhaps the greatest player request so far… The ability to customise CPU opponents, castles and campaigns! Players will be able to create the rivals or allies of their dreams (or nightmares), design their defences and then place all of this into custom mission scenarios created by the community. If that wasn’t enough, the Winter Update continues this community-first trend with the addition of a second co-op campaign of missions. Was the 10 missions found in the first co-op trail not enough for you? Well, dare to brave the challenges of this new trail and you might just come out victorious. Once again a new map pack of three maps will be added to the overall pool, keeping things fresh for players after launch.

Releasing alongside these updates will be a pair of paid DLCs, which in Stronghold tradition will each introduce two new CPU opponents and a series of challenging missions known to fans as a ‘skirmish trail’. More will be revealed about these characters in due course, however today’s video may contain some clues for eagle eyed viewers. Either way you can expect a proper challenge, with some formidable new opponents mixing things up for series veterans.

Wishlist Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition now on Steam.

A new update for Armored Brigade II is out now, packed with fixes, quality-of-life improvements, and a host of new database additions. The dev team has been working tirelessly to polish and expand the experience, and we’re incredibly excited to showcase something new this September. It’s shaping up to be a great winter for all Armored Brigade II fans.

Download the update HERE. You can view the changelog HERE.

Armored Brigade II revolutionizes real-time tactical warfare in 3D, focusing on the intense combined arms combat of the Cold War era, from 1965 to 1991. Boasting a meticulously researched database and huge real-world terrain maps, this game offers an unparalleled combat simulation experience.

Gaijin Entertainment announces that the major content update “Leviathans” for the military online action War Thunder is already available to the players. While battleships like Yamato are literally the largest part of it, the update also introduces a completely new type of military vehicle: multi-vehicle SAM systems. The Swiss aviation subtree and the legendary Comanche helicopter will also fire many players up.

Watch the “Leviathans” Update Trailer HERE.

As War Thunder is gradually adding more and more sophisticated modern weapon systems to the virtual battlefield, the time has come for the advanced SAM systems that consist of multiple vehicles that work together, including one with a radar for surveillance and fire control, and one or more launchers. War Thunder players will be able to field those two machines at same time, cycling between them and driving them around independently.

A good example of a multi-vehicle SAM system is the German IRIS-T SLM that consists of one radar vehicle and two launchers. All vehicles have no armor and are truly large in size, so they can be easily spotted and destroyed if an enemy comes close enough. On the other hand, this SAM fires IRIS-T SL medium-range missiles that feature an all-aspect thermal imaging homing head with an inertial guidance system, offer improved noise and IR countermeasure immunity and are capable of totally clearing up the sky at distances of up to 40 km.

Other multi-vehicle SAM systems in War Thunder include Japanese Tan-SAM kai and American CLAWS based on the famous Humvee chassis.

The Swiss aviation subtree is added to the German aircraft tree, offering more tactical options to the players. It includes the Mirage IIIS C.70 export modification, a new variant of the Hawker Hunter F.58, as well as two variants of the formidable F/A-18 Hornet. The highlight of this subtree is the C-3604 piston-engine strike aircraft, fully designed by Swiss engineers. Equipped with a total of three 20 mm cannons and backed up by a pair of 7.5 mm machine guns, it can also be fitted with suspended ordnance up to a maximum payload of 600 kg.

RAH-66 Comanche is a stealthy reconnaissance and attack helicopter developed during the late Cold War to counter high-tech threats, but ultimately abandoned due to cost overruns. Thanks to the specific geometry, the Comanche is capable of alluding radar detection until it closes in much more to its target compared to conventional helicopters with the same size. The sleek design and use of lightweight composite materials allows it to attain top speeds of over 324 km/h, earning its place among War Thunder’s most nimble helicopters. The Comanche has a selection of most proven American ordnance options, ranging from Hellfire and Stinger missiles to Hydra rocket pods, as well a nose-mounted 20 mm rotary cannon.

More information on the “Leviathans” update is available at the War Thunder official website.

The wait is over. WEGO World War II: Stalingrad has officially launched on Steam with a special launch discount. Step into one of the most pivotal battles of WWII with turn-based tactics, dynamic fronts, and gritty realism.

WEGO World War II: Stalingrad 1942 comes with three campaigns. Each campaign consists of three to six linked scenarios. The game uses stylized maps of the Russian steppes over which a hexagonal grid system has been superimposed. This grid is employed to help regulate land unit placement, movement, and combat. Air, Naval, and Ground Assets are off-map capabilities that can be brought into play when the owning player sees fit.

Ground units range in size from company to regiment/brigade level and are represented on the game map using counters with stylized or NATO icons to display unit types.

MicroProse is proud to announce the release of the most significant update yet for its WWII tactical strategy game, Forgotten But Unbroken. This major patch introduces a wide array of gameplay improvements, new content, and expanded systems, enhancing both tactical depth and player immersion.

The update marks a turning point in the game lifecycle, making it the ideal time for both new players and returning fans to explore the evolving vision of Forgotten But Unbroken.

Publisher Slitherine and Developer Steel Balalaika are proud to announce that players can now conduct their army to victory: the most wishlisted RTS is deploying today on Steam.

Watch the Broken Arrow Release Trailer HERE.

The success of Broken Arrow precedes its release, with highly successful pre-launch beta tests and over half a million players already registered and ready for battle. The game has accumulated more than 380,000 hours watched on Twitch, 7,000 hours streamed, one million wishlists, and has held a long-standing spot in Steam’s Top 30 Most Wishlisted games. It also recently entered the Top 50 Global Best-Selling games on Steam — all before its official launch.

To add to the excitement, the Vanguard Edition launched on June 16th and has sold over 150K units so far, and has over 1M wishlists.

That’s because Broken Arrow plays by different rules.

In fact, in many real-time strategy games, victory often comes down to brute force. Players typically focus on mass-producing units, launching quick assaults, and hoping to overpower the enemy, with little room for genuine tactics or thoughtful planning. It’s all about speed and sheer numbers.

In Broken Arrow, victory isn’t about mindless mass production. It’s about strategy, timing, and precision. Players must read the battlefield, identify the best routes to outflank enemy positions, probe for weaknesses, and craft a winning plan tailored to the moment.

Every unit plays its part. Every move echoes with intent. Only those who can command the tempo of real-time warfare will lead their forces to victory.

Like maestros guiding a grand orchestra, players must harmonize the battlefield’s many voices: the thundering artillery as pounding percussion, armored divisions roaring like trumpets and horns, elite scouts moving as silently as flutes.

With 10 distinct military specializations and over 300 units to choose from, each battle becomes a performance: from the 19-mission single-player campaign to the competitive, high-stakes 5v5 online clashes.

In Broken Arrow, you’re not just leading units en masse in real time — you’re directing a symphony of sharp tactics and precision strategy.

For more information, Broken Arrow is out now on Steam, and here is the F.A.Q. Discussion.
