Today, the first major content update for Call to Arms: Panzer Elite is hitting Steam Early Access. The update marks a key milestone in the game’s evolution, introducing the United States as a fully playable faction and expanding the battlefields of its growing WWII tank warfare experience.

Four New Battlegroups

US Forces – Italian Partisan Battlegroup: Deploy daring Partisans to wreak havoc behind the lines. Cunning, deception, and sabotage are how your forces will prevail.

Brave Resistance Fighters and Saboteurs will enhance your ground forces, while tunnel networks, resource siphoning, and underground detonations will cause the enemy to collapse from within.

Wehrmacht – Last Stand Battlegroup: Victory requires sacrifice. Bolster your line with powerful improvised defenses and embolden your ground forces with a number of extraordinary measures.

Repel the Allied advance with the new Borgward Wanze, imposing Pantherturm, and immobilized vehicles, then demoralize their troops with the Propaganda Tower. Panzerfaust rollouts, improvised barrages, and final battle directives enable victory at any cost.

British Forces – Polish Cavalry Battlegroup: Seek revenge with grizzled Polish troops who long for battle and smash the enemy with devastating heavy weaponry.

Elite Polish Lancer Sections lead the line, while Polish-crewed Sherman Fireflies and Land Mattresses demolish enemy positions and armor with frightening efficiency. All Polish units thrive against veteran enemies.

Deutsches Afrikakorps – Kriegsmarine Battlegroup: Bring the might of the German Navy to bear. Fortify your positions, establish vital supply chains, and then annihilate all in your path with catastrophic fire support.

Kriegsmarine infantry provides combat flexibility and engineering prowess. Establish Hardpoints to secure territory and enable supply drops. Stuka Bombers, Fritz Glide-bombs, and Naval salvos will break the enemy upon your shores.

Europa Universalis V, a major reworking of Paradox Interactive’s iconic historical grand strategy game, is available today. Explore a deeply researched world, writing your own history of any nation on earth from the late medieval era to the dawn of the Victorian Age. Guide a living society divided by class, culture and faith through the Black Death, the Renaissance, the Age of Exploration, Wars of Religion and more as the map changes around.

For the first time, Europa Universalis players must devote attention to the needs of their population, as the supply of food and other necessities will dictate the strength of their empire. Build trade markets, explore the globe to seek out new luxuries and wrestle with the various estates of your realm as push your society towards new values and ideas.

Choose the sword or the pen, the religious or the secular, the aristocracy or the people. The entire world is yours. Be ambitious.

Watch History Unfold Before You

RULE a land of your choosing. Hundreds of nations are yours to command, as you guide the destiny of millions of people through the late Middle Ages up to the Age of Revolution – from the mighty Yuán Dynasty to the city-states of Italy, from the warring clans of feudal Japan to the Pope himself.
DECIDE which course your nation will take. Historical events and situations await as you chart a unique path through a new history written by your decisions. Experience The Hundred Years’ War, the Protestant Reformation, the collapse of old dynasties and rise of new ones.
EXPLORE alternate histories as you shape the world to meet your ambitions. What if England succeeded in pressing its continental claims? What if China pursued an overseas empire? What if Mongol supremacy in Russia persisted? Every action opens the possibility for an original history.

Prove Your Mettle as a Ruler

IMPOSE domestic peace in a divided realm. Keep your nation’s factions in line as Estates jockey for power in your nation. Offer privileges to one group of citizens while you limit the power of another, all in the service of keeping your population under control.
NEGOTIATE your way through an uneasy peace. Use diplomacy to entrench your dynasty across realms or build an invincible alliance. But remember that nations have no permanent friends – only permanent interests; so use your ambassadors carefully. Exact favors from friends, send threats to enemies, and keep an eye on everyone in-between.
CONQUER new lands to expand your borders. Wage War on those who impede your ambition in a completely new Europa Universalis military system. Start in the age of levies and mercenaries and, through social development, evolve to vast standing armies and impenetrable fortresses. Choose skilled commanders to oversee both land and naval forces.

Develop Your Society

BUILD a strong economic infrastructure in the most detailed trade system yet seen in a Europa Universalis game. Dozens of goods and crops are available for production and trade on a map filled with new riches to discover. Invest in feeding a growing population or trade your surplus to less bountiful societies.
MOLD your society to meet the historical moment. Choose your societal values, with new options opening as the ages move on. Centralize power at court or share it with your nobles. Pursue a tolerant policy for all faiths or condemn heretics. Emphasize massed armies or an elite cadre of quality soldiers.
GOVERN a nation composed of many cultures and faiths in a detailed simulation of the past. For the first time in Europa Universalis, populations are represented on the map in detail, so provinces may be divided by religion or culture. Your decisions will determine how these populations will fare under your leadership.

Be Ambitious

PREVAIL in the greatest strategic challenges of the past. Test your expertise in grand strategic planning on a worldscape larger and more detailed than seen in any previous Paradox Interactive game. Challenge yourself to outdo the most famous rulers of the past, eclipsing their grand accomplishments and building your own vision of a richly detailed globe.

Bohemia Interactive is excited to announce the release of Arma Reforger’s 1.6 Update, which brings one of the most significant content additions since the game’s launch. Players across all platforms can now take part in Operation Omega, re-visit the island of Kolguyev, and try out a major overhaul of the Conflict game mode.

Watch the trailer for the update here.

New Map: Kolguyev
Rebuilt in the Enfusion engine, the iconic island of Kolguyev returns. Players can explore a rugged volcanic terrain of pine forests, rocky ridges, and abandoned industrial sites, which presents a clear contrast to Everon’s green valleys. The island’s hot springs, sulfur streams, and remains of old coal industry add both atmosphere and strategic depth.

Conflict Reinvented
The classic Conflict experience has been completely reworked into the Headquarters Commander (HQC) mode. Take on the role of Commander, manage resources, construct bases anywhere on the island, and lead squads through assigned objectives. A supply scarcity system introduces new gameplay element, that further encourages the motivation of players to have an impact and be creative.

Singleplayer Scenarios
Update 1.6 introduces two new solo experiences for players looking to test their skills alone:

Both bring back the cinematic, story-driven missions long associated with the Arma series. Check out the trailer here.

Expanded Arsenal and Systems
The armory now includes a range of new weapons and equipment, including the RPG-22 and RPG-75 launchers, new camouflage options, hand flares, and engineer tools like constructable sandbags, static weapons, and anti-personnel mines. System updates include moving on vehicles, reworked FIA factions, HOTAS and peripheral support, enhanced environmental effects, and numerous performance improvements.

This is the most significant change introduced by the update, but it’s not the only one. As a special Halloween treat, a brand new zombie scenario has been added, inspired by a workshop creation from community member Joining Player. It can be played by 1 to 4 players in co-op mode, and features a unique visual and sound atmosphere designed specifically for the map.
