Gaijin Entertainment and Darkflow Software announce Operation Neptune, a new major content update for Enlisted, the squad-based online shooter dedicated to the key battles of World War II. The update brings players to Normandy, expands the research trees with new weapons and vehicles, and significantly improves the look and feel of combat with reworked explosions, ricochets, tracers, animations and visual effects.

“Operation Neptune” Update Trailer

The centerpiece of Operation Neptune is the new Omaha location, inspired by the Allied landings on Omaha and Sword beaches. The new battlefield offers varied terrain, where trenches, pillboxes, artillery craters, barbed wire and coastal batteries create new tactical opportunities for both attackers and defenders. Battles will also move beyond the beach itself, taking players through battered urban districts, rural areas, farms, factories and warehouses, each demanding a different approach to movement, cover and squad tactics.

Operation Neptune also adds new research-tree equipment for several armies. The USSR receives the SU-122 self-propelled gun, built on the T-34 chassis and armed with a gun capable of threatening both infantry and armored targets. Germany adds the Nashorn tank destroyer, equipped with the powerful 88 mm PaK43 cannon, as well as the Suomi KP/-31 (SJR), an improved version of the famous Finnish submachine gun with better accuracy and a 71-round magazine. Japan receives the Type 4 90 mm anti-tank launcher, while the United States adds the F7F-1 Tigercat, a fast twin-engine heavy fighter armed with 20 mm cannons, Browning machine guns and bombs.

The update also makes Enlisted’s battles more spectacular and readable. Tank destruction effects have been reworked, including improved ammunition rack fires and turrets that can be blown off by internal explosions. These turrets are not just cosmetic: they can crush soldiers unlucky enough to be standing beneath them. Flying debris now leaves smoke trails, fires can spread to nearby grass, and vehicle armor penetrations produce more visible sparks, smoke and flames, helping players better understand the result of their shots in the heat of battle.

Aircraft destruction has received similar attention. When planes are destroyed in the air, they now produce more powerful explosions, while torn-off parts scatter more naturally and leave fiery trails behind them. Small arms bullets can now ricochet off armored vehicles, and the update also improves muzzle flashes, dust from impacts, fire animations and other battlefield effects. Finally, tracers now have a more natural teardrop shape, with thin fading tails, brighter heads and thickness that better reflects the projectile’s caliber. This makes incoming and outgoing fire easier to read.

On PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One, visual presets have been updated to improve image quality while keeping the same FPS target. PlayStation 4 now uses high quality Temporal Hyper Resolution at 1080p, Xbox One switches to 720p upscaled to 1080p with high quality THR, and PlayStation 4 Pro now outputs a 4K image. On PC, ray tracing has received under-the-hood CPU optimizations with better multithreading and caching, improving performance on systems with a weaker CPU and a strong GPU.

More information about Enlisted is available at the official website, or on Steam.

Gaijin Entertainment and Darkflow Software announce that the “Far Eastern Front” content update for the online military shooter Enlisted is now available to players. It focuses on the confrontation between the USSR and Japan during the final stages of World War II, when Soviet troops fought the 700,000-strong Kwantung Army.

The Heilongjiang location is inspired by the landscape of northeastern China, with its characteristic hills, traditional villages, and thriving urban areas. Japanese troops have built powerful defensive lines here, which the Soviet army has to storm. A large city in the center of the map features a blend of Chinese and Russian cultures typical to this region at that time: massive stone buildings, wide streets, and signs in Cyrillic.

New weapons available include the Chinese Type 88 rifle, the Italian KE7 machine gun, the American Browning M1919A4 machine gun, the experimental Japanese Type 2 assault rifle (6.5mm) with an incredible rate of fire, and the legendary German Ferdinand heavy self-propelled gun, based on the Tiger (P) tank with an 88mm PaK 43/2 cannon and frontal armor up to 200mm thick.

Furthermore, in Enlisted, explosions from grenades, mortar shells, and anti-tank guns now leave craters, hot metal areas are displayed on vehicles, and the destruction of paper and wooden objects is accompanied by special effects.

Gaijin Entertainment and Darkflow Software are pleased to announce that the “Scorching Rays” major content update is now available for the online military shooter Enlisted. It brings new weapons, vehicles and headgear, as well as significant upgrades to the Tunisia map, and of course — ray tracing support for the latest graphic cards.

Watch the “Scorching Rays” Trailer HERE.

The research tree has been expanded with interesting weapons like the Kawaguchiya shotgun (a double-barreled shotgun with a bayonet), and the iconic “Chicago Typewriter”, an M1921AC Thompson submachine gun with a 50-round drum magazine. New vehicles have also been added, the Churchill VII heavy tank with 152 mm of frontal armor, the Chi-Nu II with a powerful long 75 mm cannon, and the lightning fast Ki-83 interceptor.

Players can also now get rewards from previous Battle Pass seasons, including rare weapons and vehicles, along with unique soldiers. The ability to get some of these is available until the 7th of October.

Ray tracing support greatly improves the visuals of the game by making lighting and reflections much more realistic. Various RT options can be enabled and disabled independently to allow for scaling performance for your specific GPU. Many more graphical details have also been added, like improved impact marks and explosion effects, plus other smaller details such as craters left by crashed aircraft and dirt on lenses.

Finally, the “Kahif cave village” section of Tunisia has been completely overhauled, making the once desolate desert a blooming oasis. We’ve also improved the layout of the terrain to make it easier to navigate both on the outskirts and within the village.

More information on the update is available at the official Enlisted website.

Gaijin Entertainment and Darkflow Software are excited to announce the launch of “Forest Shadows,” the latest major update for the online military shooter Enlisted. This update deepens the tactical combat experience with new weapons, vehicles, a brand-new forested battlefield, and immersive gameplay enhancements.

Watch the “Forest Shadows” Update Trailer HERE.

At the heart of Forest Shadows is an expanded Seelow Heights map, introducing a densely wooded zone inspired by the forests of Brandenburg. The new “Wald” mission plunges players into intense close-quarters combat on the forest floor, in a small town’s narrow streets, and along its treacherous outskirts. Available in Confrontation, Destruction, and Invasion modes, this mission demands tactical flexibility and careful use of the terrain, while recreating the look and feel of the last battles of World War II in Europe.

Two new elite squads are now available to the players, and both will perfectly fit into the forest battles. Legendary British commandos are armed with Thompson M1 submachine guns, while the German Werwolves, a special unit trained to carry out operations behind enemy lines, are equipped with StG 44 assault rifles with suppressor and camouflage gear.

The update also introduces four new weapons and five new vehicles, expanding the tactical variety and customization options for squads. Alongside this, players can now switch the nationality of their soldiers – choosing between German and Italian identities for the Axis squads, or American and British for the Allies – complete with localized voice lines, appearance changes, and name sets.

A major upgrade of the game’s effects system has transformed the way battles look and feel. Every small-arms hit now produces realistic impact visuals, while tank explosions, bomb detonations, artillery strikes, and fuel tank bursts unfold in breathtaking detail. Ricocheting projectiles have been reworked to reflect authentic armor interactions, enhanced by revamped sound design that heightens immersion. Even the skies have been touched by this update, with new visual effects for anti-aircraft fire and dogfights amplifying the drama of air combat.

More information on the “Forest Shadows” update is available on the official website.

Darkflow Software and Gaijin Entertainment announce that online military shooter Enlisted got a Jet Power major content update. It brought early jet fighters and new infantry weapons like the Soviet Fedorov rifle 1912 and German MG 81 machine gun. The Seelow Heights map has been significantly reworked according to the player feedback and now has more diverse vegetation, alternate routes to capture points and more cover for infantry.

The German Me 262 entered service in 1944 and was the world’s first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft. It proved to be very effective in dogfights against Allied fighters and claimed 542 victories. Me 262 had little effect on the overall war effort because of late introduction and limited numbers, but won its place in the list of the most famous planes of World War II. Introduction of jet fighters to Enlisted allows the players to recreate the rare jet fighter sorties and witness themselves the power of military vehicles that were way ahead of their time.

Watch the “Jet Power” Update Trailer HERE.

Each side in Enlisted has gained access to a researchable late WWII fighter jet of their own: Soviet Su-9, British Meteor F Mk.3 and Japanese Kikka are all both fast and armed to teeth, thus being capable of turning the tide of battle. On the other hand, their handling differs significantly from aircraft with piston engines, and only the most experienced pilots will be able to harness their power.

More information on Enlisted is available at the official website.

Darkflow Software and Gaijin Entertainment announce the release of the “Guerrilla Warfare” major content update for the military online shooter Enlisted. It brings the new Guerrilla soldier class, the new “Mountain Pass” map, as well as new weapons and vehicles such as sawed-off PPSh and self-propelled gun Marder III. In addition, tanks and other armored vehicles now look better in motion thanks to the new physical model of tracks.

Watch the Enlisted “Guerrilla Warfare” Update trailer HERE.

Soviet partisans, German militias and irregular fighters from other nations can move around the enemy combat zone, that is usually closed to soldiers of other classes, and arrange treacherous ambushes. Only the respawn zones are off-limits to them. The guerrilla fighters have spare ammo for any weapon they might capture and carry extra charges of TNT for sabotage.

The new Mountain pass map in Ardennes is inspired by the bloody battles between the US and Germany in the winter of 1944. Here players fight for control of a small town with an important transport junction in the middle, maneuvering through snowy mountain forests, deserted streets and hastily constructed Allied fortified areas. The complex terrain provides many reliable shelters and no less ways to bypass them.

Finally, many wheeled and tracked vehicles in Enlisted have been visually updated. The suspension physics have become even more detailed, so tracks realistically stretch when driving over various obstacles, and the antennas sway when moving.

You can learn more about the changes in the Guerrilla Warfare update on the official website of the game.

Darkflow Software and Gaijin Entertainment announce that online military shooter Enlisted is now available for free on Steam. The game supports on Steam Deck and features full cross-play with all platforms on which Enlisted is available: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, as well as the Gaijin.Net service for PC.

Watch the official launch trailer HERE.

Enlisted reproduces all the key theaters of World War II ranging from the snowy outskirts of Moscow to the hot Pacific islands, from the beaches of Normandy to the deserts of Tunisia. Up to a hundred soldiers, along with armored vehicles and aircraft, simultaneously participate in massive Enlisted battles. The player controls a squad of infantrymen, or the crew of a military vehicle, switching between individual fighters at their discretion. Locations, gear, weapons and equipment are carefully recreated based on historical evidence.

The Steam version of Enlisted includes all the content created for the game in recent years – hundreds of models of weapons, vehicles and gear that were used by a variety of countries participating in World War II. Major updates for Enlisted are released several times a year: for example, in June, the Battle of Rzhev, rocket artillery strikes, new models of weapons and equipment, as well as significant graphical improvements were added to the game.

To mark the release of Enlisted on the new platform, two new packs with unique weapons have gone on sale: a Squad of Paratroopers with a Type Hei machine gun (equipped with an protective shield) and a Squad of Premium Engineers with a powerful Winchester G30R semi-automatic rifle.

You can read more about the game’s content on the official Enlisted website.

Darkflow Software and Gaijin Entertainment announce the release of a major update “Rzhev” for the online military shooter Enlisted. It brings significantly improved graphics, new missions dedicated to the famous Battle of Rzhev, as well as new squads, weapons, and military vehicles.

The Battle of Rzhev is a series of operations in 1942-1943, during which the Red Army eliminated the Rzhev-Vyazma ledge, from which German troops threatened Moscow. Eyewitnesses recalled this battle as a crazy meat grinder, and in terms of the significance and fierceness of the battles it was comparable to Stalingrad. Players in Enlisted will visit several iconic points of Rzhev, i.e. the Cathedral of the Nativity of Christ, the city hall, the central market, the shopping area and steep cliffs to the left bank of the Volga river. On the approaches to the city, battles will take place in industrial zones with a grain elevator and in the ruins of the suburban village of Teterino, of which mostly only the outlines of houses remain.

The Rzhev update features dozens of brand new or improved weapons and military vehicles – for example, the American T20 rifle, the Japanese KE-7 machine gun, the Soviet KV-2 tank (1940) with a powerful 152-mm howitzer and the German 8.8 cm Flak 37 Sfl. tank destroyer that can shoot down aircraft and tear armored vehicles to shreds with equal ease. Squads of radio operators can now call in rocket artillery strikes – the first to receive this opportunity are the 26th Guards Signal Battalion of the USSR and the 332nd Infantry Regiment of Germany.

Finally, Enlisted has improved the operation of Global Illumination technology on PC and PlayStation 5, which has made the game much more beautiful without sacrificing performance. The propagation of light has become even more realistic, and the game is visually richer: the developers have added specular lighting, increased its display distance, and also added detailed reflections.

You can read more about the contents of the Rzhev update on the official Enlisted website.

Darkflow Software and Gaijin Entertainment announce the release of the Airborne Forces major content update for the online military action game Enlisted. It has brought a new class of fighters to the game – paratroopers.

Paratroopers specialize in sabotage and can land from an aircraft anywhere on the map. They are versatile soldiers, trained to handle any infantry weapons available and able to appear at any point in the battle. Initially, a paratrooper has only light assault weapons at their disposal, but a box of supplies is dropped from the transport plane along with the squad, and it contains heavy weaponry like machine guns and anti-tank systems. Thanks to this, you can choose the optimal equipment right on the spot and rush into battle.

Watch the Airborne Forces Update Trailer HERE.

Until May 6th, players can unlock two exclusive paratrooper squads from the Pacific Campaign – the Japanese Paratroopers with the Type 100 rifle and the Allied Paratroopers with the M1A1 carbine by completing the tasks of the “Reinforcements received” event. In addition, two premium paratrooper units from the Invasion of Normandy campaign are included in the Paratrooper pack available in the store. These are soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division of the United States, whose story inspired the creators of “The Dirty Dozen” movie, and German soldiers from the 18th Parachute Regiment.

Detailed information about the new content in the Airborne Forces update is available on the official Enlisted website.

Darkflow Software and Gaijin Entertainment announce the latest update for their hit military online action game Enlisted. The update, called “High Caliber”, introduces high caliber machine guns, a completely new fighting zone, the Stalingrad Tractor Plant (STP), as well as smoke shells feature. Phosphorus grenades that debuted in the Pacific campaign during the last update are now also available in the Battle of Tunisia and Invasion of Normandy. All these new features will make the already massive and believable Enlisted battles even closer to the real legendary World War II battles.

The new update adds the ability for engineers in machine gunner squads to deploy .50 cal heavy machine guns with, which are capable of piercing through multiple enemy soldiers, tearing the wings off aircraft, and even shredding through the armor of light tanks and SPAAGs. All playable nations in the game will receive one of these machine guns: US Army will use the legendary M2 Browning, the Japanese use the powerful Type 93, the Germans have put an airborne MG-131 into operation, and Soviet soldiers tear the enemy to shreds with the DShK.

Update brings dozens of other new or upgraded pieces of military gear like SIG 1920 submachine gun or the Type Ko rifle, or even the MG 15 with a specialized “Saddle-Drum” double magazine with a capacity of 75 rounds, as well as the RPD-44 machine gun prototype. The new vehicles include a M3 Stuart modification with a flamethrower instead of the hull machine gun, that is excellent to repel enemy infantry approaching from the front.

You can check the full list of changes and new features on the official Enlisted website.
