First-Person Shooters

arma-cold-war-assaultThe source code has been released on GitHub

A free, modernized rebuild of the engine that started it all – and an open toolbox for the community that kept it alive. The demo is available now on Steam.

Twenty-five years ago, Arma: Cold War Assault put you on the windswept islands of Everon, Malden and Kolguyev and let you fight a cold war that never quite stayed cold. This is that game’s original “Poseidon” engine, brought into the present: rebuilt in modern C++, configured with CMake and Clang, and running natively on both Windows and Linux (64-bit).

This release is free, and it is two things at once.

A playable demo
A self-contained slice of Cold War Assault you can download and play right now – the classic open-world sandbox, vehicles, AI and mission system that defined a genre, running on a clean, modern codebase.

An official asset pack
The demo doubles as a sanctioned asset pack for the Arma community. The bundled game data is provided as raw material you are free to study, modify and build new Arma content from. If you have ever wanted to learn how a Bohemia game is put together, or wanted clean reference assets to start a mod, this is for you.

Open source
The full engine source code is available on GitHub.

Clone it, build it, study it, and send pull requests. Licensing, developer documentation and the scripting reference all live in the repository.

battlefield-6Season 3 takes an explosive turn with the return of two legendary experiences and more, plus one free week of all-out warfare.

Battlefield 6 Season 3 Free Trial Week Trailer

NEW BATTLEFIELD 6 MAP: CAIRO BAZAAR
A reimagined version of Grand Bazaar from Battlefield 3, this lively marketplace in the heart of Cairo is packed with alleys and innovative tactical opportunities for high-intensity close-quarters combat. All the action takes place in and around a single city block, with an outer perimeter road for small vehicle traffic and flanking opportunities.

With a mirrored map design that grants NATO and Pax Armata similar pathways, shortcuts, and chokepoints, every squad becomes a merchant of destruction.

NEW BATTLEFIELD 6 MODE: OBLITERATION
The iconic BF4 multiplayer experience returns with a new epic evolution. Obliteration is a battle to destroy enemy M-COMs (Military Communications) using bombs placed neutrally on each map. Both sides must risk everything to get the bomb, escort their carrier to the detonation site, and obliterate the enemy.

NEW BATTLEFIELD 6 | REDSEC BONUS PATH EVENT: EXPLOSIVE CHARGE
Stock up on the latest firepower through the limited-time Explosive Charge Bonus Path Event, where you can unlock the PP-19 SMG and several Customization Rewards.

NEW BATTLEFIELD 6 | REDSEC HARDWARE
PP-19 – New SMG: A formidable SMG reborn: featuring an optional high-capacity helical magazine, the PP-19 is a 9x19mm SMG that carves up squads at short-range. First released in Battlefield 2, with a futuristic version released in Battlefield 2042, the PP-19’s reputation as a steady damage-dealer extends into the past, present, and future.

Handheld Jammer – New Gadget: Jam the enemy signal. The Handheld Jammer is a Recon Gadget that disrupts nearby smart/electronic devices for a short period of time. Once activated, it can either be thrown – or placed – in an area to provide localized malfunctions, or carried around to turn a Recon soldier into a mobile nuisance.

#00 Buckshot – New Attachment: Double-aught buckshot is similar to the standard shot in every Battlefield 6 and REDSEC shotgun, albeit with slightly larger pellets and less pellets per shot. If you rather not shoot a single slug, but still want more range and less spread than regular buckshot, then #00 is your #1 ammunition choice to spend those Attachment Points on.

Cryogenic Barrels – New Attachment: When state-of-the-art cryogenic technology meets a hard steel barrel, it creates a temperature barrier that helps a weapon better withstand standard operating friction and combustion. In other words, Cryogenic Barrels are tempered for better accuracy over sustained fire without being heavier than the factory standard version, which grants soldiers faster aim down sight times compared to using a heavier barrel.

ONE FREE WEEK OF ALL-OUT WARFARE
Now until June 15, experience 5 modes and 4 maps, including Cairo Bazaar and Obliteration, during the Battlefield 6 Free Trial. Squad up and drop into the award-winning Multiplayer for a limited-time through Battlefield REDSEC.

Visit Battlefield.com or Steam for more information.

wardogsBULKHEAD & Team17 have revealed a brand-new gameplay trailer for WARDOGS, their upcoming Tactical All Out Warfare FPS, during the Future Games Show Summer Showcase.

Watch the trailer HERE.

The new gameplay trailer gives players the clearest look yet at WARDOGS in action. Set around the high-stakes Control Zone, 100 players and three rival teams fight to dominate the battlefield. WARDOGS combines tactical gunplay, combined-arms combat, construction, destruction, and large-scale team play, creating a warzone where coordination matters, risk pays off, and cash is king.

The reveal comes as WARDOGS recently passed 500,000 Wishlist’s on Steam, a major milestone for the independent studio, offering a clear signal that players are hungry for a different kind of large-scale shooter.

Following recent hands-on playtests, BULKHEAD is opening sign-ups for the next WARDOGS playtest.

Players can sign up now at community.wardogs.com/signup/community.

For BULKHEAD, playtesting has never been a marketing beat with a feedback form bolted on. It’s a real opportunity for players to push the systems, expose the cracks, test the chaos, and help shape WARDOGS into the all-out warfare experience they have been asking for.

The WARDOGS party isn’t over yet. Head to WARDOGS.com now for an exclusive extended gameplay reveal stream with live footage taken during a team playtest earlier this week. Then, tune into the PC Gamer show tomorrow for a deeper look at what’s coming next.

WARDOGS arrives on Steam Early Access this summer and is available to Wishlist now.

WARDOGS is an All-Out Warfare FPS that combines tactical gunplay and combined arms combat with building and destruction mechanics in a large-scale, up to 100-player militaristic sandbox.

The game mode – Inspired by ‘King of the Hill’ – has three teams fight for control of randomized 2x2km ‘Control Zones’ within larger maps. The team with the most players within the Control Zone earns points – the first team to reach 100 points wins the match. The variables in zone location and individual player tactics mean no match ever plays out the same.

Every player starts their journey with $10,000. Each life, you purchase a custom loadout from a wide selection of weapons, gear, utility, and vehicles to help your team win the match.

Every teamplay action you perform rewards cash. From reviving squadmates, transporting friendlies to the zone, or controlling the objective. We don’t just encourage teamplay; we reward it. It’s the player’s choice how they want to play, earn and spend their profits.

Cash persists from match to match, so spending big on better gear, equipment, or a vehicle at the right time has the potential to turn the tide of battle and could yield massive returns.

medic-pacific-warDeveloper Hypnotic Ants is proud to announce that Medic: Pacific War is available now in Steam Early Access for $9.99 / €9.99 / £8.99, with a 10% launch discount available for a limited time.

Unlike traditional war games, Medic: Pacific War places players in the boots of a combat medic, where success is measured not by enemies defeated, but by soldiers brought home alive. As artillery rains down and gunfire erupts across the battlefield, players must assess injuries, manage pain, stop bleeding, stabilize critical wounds, and evacuate casualties under relentless pressure.

To celebrate TODAY’s launch, Hypnotic Ants has also released a brand-new gameplay trailer showcasing the intense medical procedures, life-or-death decisions, and frontline rescues players will face as they fight to save lives amidst the chaos of World War II’s Pacific campaign.

Medic: Pacific War Official Early Access Trailer

The Early Access launch includes the first two chapters of the game’s story campaign, following young medic trainee Mayers as he begins his journey during the attack on Pearl Harbor before being thrust into the brutal realities of frontline combat in the Philippines. As the war escalates, players will witness Mayers’ transformation from inexperienced recruit to battlefield medic, facing impossible decisions and desperate situations where every second counts.

Alongside the campaign, players can also dive into Lifeline, a highly replayable roguelite mode that offers a fresh challenge with every run. Set across alternate versions of campaign locations, Lifeline features its own progression system, allowing players to complete challenges, earn Challenge Points, and unlock permanent perks that improve future runs. During each deployment, players must develop new skills, manage limited resources, purchase vital equipment, and adapt to ever-changing battlefield conditions as they strive to save as many lives as possible.

battlefield-6Today, Battlefield Studios and EA unveiled a new look at everything coming to Battlefield 6 and Battlefield REDSEC on June 9 as part of our Blastpoint update. This update will bring Cairo Bazaar, our reimagining of the Battlefield 3 map Grand Bazaar, as well as the return of Battlefield 4’s Obliteration mode.
