<p>Expression lead devs, Paul ‘Rushy’ Rustchynsky &#8211; Game Director, Keiran D&#8217;Archambaud &#8211; Studio Technical Director, Ryan Howard &#8211; Senior Art Director and Sam Warren &#8211; Development Director lift the hood on the most ambitious Hell Let Loose project to date with a focus on game performance, gameplay, weapon development, roadmap teasers and a closer look at the exciting potential of the Vietnamese maps.</p>
<p>Watch The Command Post Developer Q&#038;A Part 1 <a href="https://youtu.be/I-hkBl_VvCg?si=uO0BYlgWXYuKOHnk">HERE</a>.</p>
<p>Visit the Hell Let Loose website to read the full transcript <a href="https://www.hellletloose.com/blog/dev-qna-1">HERE</a>.</p>
<p>This Weekend, starting Today, Friday July 24, 2PM BST, Team17 and Expression Games are opening the doors to the first crossplay playtest for PC and console players. This playtest will take place on a brand new map, the Đắk Tô Airfield. </p>
<p>November 1967 saw the start of the Battle of Đắk Tô, an attack on a key US airfield base and surrounding hilltop fortifications in the central highlands of South Vietnam. The focal point of the base is its long, stretching airstrip, allowing nearby armor and recon units to take advantage and dominate the area. Impact craters and destroyed vehicles are strewn along the runway, caused by the constant bombardment of artillery strikes.</p>
<p>The operating airfield means the surrounding areas are less dense than the typical jungle, demanding effective teamwork and communication to navigate the open space safely.</p>
<p><strong>Crossplay Playtest Details as follows:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Start Date/Time:</strong> Friday, July 24, 2PM BST / 6AM PDT</li>
<li><strong>End Date/Time:</strong> Monday, July 27, 2PM BST / 6AM PDT</li>
<li><strong>Platforms:</strong> PC (Steam only), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S</li>
</ul>
<p>This is an open playtest. See below for platform instructions on how to join:</p>
<p><strong>Steam</strong></p>
<p>On Steam, head to the <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/3079210/Hell_Let_Loose_Vietnam/">Hell Let Loose: Vietnam store page</a>.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://www.combatsim.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/battlefield-6.jpg" alt="battlefield-6" width="200" height="111" class="alignright size-full wp-image-11528" />Electronic Arts Inc. and Battlefield Studios today revealed a first look at <em>Battlefield 6™</em> and <em>Battlefield REDSEC</em>, delivering the franchise&#8217;s largest seasonal update to date with Naval Warfare, new content, and a meticulously crafted knockout Top Gun crossover experience in partnership with Paramount Games Studio. The update will include the F-18/Super Hornet and iconic F-14 Tomcat, fan-favorite characters from Top Gun, as well as two new modes inspired by the franchise’s iconic aerial combat.</p>
<p>Three characters from Top Gun come to life in-game, fully voiced by their original performers: Lt. Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw (Miles Teller), Lt. Robert “Bob” Floyd (Lewis Pullman), Adm. Solomon “Warlock” Bates (Charles Parnell), with Top Gun-inspired character skins and cosmetics available in-game.</p>
<p>Carrier Strike is a new Battlefield 6 mode debuting during this collaboration that pits naval, air, and ground forces against one another as teams seek to destroy the enemy aircraft carrier in a showdown creating an incredible blending of Battlefield and Top Gun’s defining characteristics.</p>
<p><em>“Battlefield is very intense, whether you&#8217;re in the sky or on the ground or fighting in the sea&#8221; </em> said Lewis Pullman, <em>“In that way, it’s a perfect pairing with Top Gun.”</em></p>
<p>Players can also jump into a new Gauntlet mission for Battlefield REDSEC, a jets-only combat mission set on a reworked version of Tsuru Reef, where they compete to be the best of the best.</p>
<p><em>“Jets. Adrenaline. The drive to be the best. Battlefield’s unmatched sense of scale is the perfect way to bring Top Gun’s iconic and cinematic aerial combat to life.”</em> says Ryan McArthur, Executive Producer. <em>“We can’t wait for our players to experience the update when it hits on August 18 but our collaboration is also just a piece of Battlefield 6’s biggest season yet.”</em></p>
<p>Season 4 officially kicks off on July 21 with Phase 1 (Pacific Front) introducing the biggest map in Battlefield 6 yet, Tsuru Reef. This massive Pacific theater battleground features vast air and sea spaces as well as naval aircraft carriers with operational flight decks, and the introduction of our new Dynamic Wave System. This system adds a new dimension to ocean combat, where waves affect boat movement, player aim, and line of sight, allowing players to strategically ambush, flank, and use as cover in firefights.</p>
<p>Phase 2 (Top Gun) debuts on August 18th with Battlefield and Top Gun’s collaboration content alongside a reimagining of one of Battlefield’s classic maps, Wake Island. The final phase of Season 4 (Tidal Strike) releases on September 15 and includes a collection event offering rewards for those who complete naval-based contracts and challenges.</p>
<p><em>“When Battlefield 6 launched, it had a strong core of content that we’ve grown over time, using feedback from the community to make the game even better,”</em> says Byron Beede, General Manager of Battlefield. <em>“With the addition of Naval Warfare, our Top Gun collaboration, our largest map, and so much more, Season 4 is our biggest update yet and is the perfect opportunity for players old and new to dive in.”</em></p>
<p>Season 4 will also see the release of several eagerly anticipated updates to the game. Battlefield Studios is rolling out a series of quality-of-life updates, with Spectator Mode and the Portal Custom Lobby launching this season.</p>

<p><strong>About Rising Storm 2: Vietnam</strong><br />
The sequel to smash-hit Rising Storm, Rising Storm 2: Vietnam brings the franchise into the era of modern weaponry of fully automatic rifles and man-portable grenade launchers. Players can engage in massive 64 player battles waging asymmetrical combat, with Southern Forces including the US and ARVN having access to aircraft and a wide array of powerful weaponry, and the NVA and VC making up the Northern Forces who offset their lack of modern firepower with guerrilla tactics, leveraging booby traps and their “home field advantage” to hide and quickly navigate the battlefield. Featuring over 20 maps, more than 50 weapons, three distinct game modes, from years of continued post-launch support including content updates and improvements, Rising Storm 2: Vietnam balances tactical realism and accessibility to deliver an approachable yet challenging first-person-shooter experience.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://www.combatsim.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/battlefield-6.jpg" alt="battlefield-6" width="200" height="111" class="alignright size-full wp-image-11528" />Today, <em>Battlefield 6</em> and <em>Battlefield REDSEC</em> received their latest Season 3 update, which includes a contract-focused event, a twist on Obliteration mode, the launch of Casual Battle Royale, updated gunplay as highlighted in the latest <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwN9KICCHng">Battlefield Combat series</a>, and more.</p>
<p>During the Wet Work Event, players can pick up Contracts dropped by eliminated enemies and complete mid-match objectives ranging from eliminations and looting Chests to capturing objectives or staying alive. Whether you’re hunting targets in REDSEC or pushing objectives in Multiplayer, Wet Work is all about taking the contract, staying alive, and finishing the job. </p>
<p>Tactical Obliteration is a twist on the large scale version which launched during Blastpoint. This smaller scale experience emphasizes individual squad play through an 8v8 grudge match, available in Verified Portal on June 30. This competitive, high-stakes experience is meant for squads who mastered coordinated objective play. </p>
<p>Lastly, Casual Battle Royale brings a more laid-back experience to REDSEC. This iteration of Battle Royale will include bots to help create more manageable combat engagements, smoother match flow, and a more approachable environment for players learning the mode, trying new classes and loadouts, or warming up before higher-stakes matches. Bots are designed to support the overall pacing of the match while still keeping the focus on player-driven encounters. </p>

<p>A free, modernized rebuild of the engine that started it all &#8211; and an open toolbox for the community that kept it alive. The demo is available now on <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/4819000/Arma_Cold_War_Assault_Remastered_Demo/">Steam</a>.</p>
<p>Twenty-five years ago, <em><a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/65790/ARMA_Cold_War_Assault/">Arma: Cold War Assault</a></em> 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&#8217;s original &#8220;Poseidon&#8221; engine, brought into the present: rebuilt in modern C++, configured with CMake and Clang, and running natively on both Windows and Linux (64-bit).</p>
<p>This release is free, and it is two things at once.</p>
<p><strong>A playable demo</strong><br />
A self-contained slice of Cold War Assault you can download and play right now &#8211; the classic open-world sandbox, vehicles, AI and mission system that defined a genre, running on a clean, modern codebase.</p>
<p><strong>An official asset pack</strong><br />
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.

<p><a href="https://youtu.be/jXlYBaIZ7Ww?si=QffSvrnRiz3hXE4C">Battlefield 6 Season 3 Free Trial Week Trailer</a></p>
<p><strong>NEW BATTLEFIELD 6 MAP: CAIRO BAZAAR</strong><br />
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.</p>
<p>With a mirrored map design that grants NATO and Pax Armata similar pathways, shortcuts, and chokepoints, every squad becomes a merchant of destruction.</p>
<p><strong>NEW BATTLEFIELD 6 MODE: OBLITERATION</strong><br />
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.</p>
<p><strong>NEW BATTLEFIELD 6 | REDSEC BONUS PATH EVENT: EXPLOSIVE CHARGE</strong><br />
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.</p>
<p><strong>NEW BATTLEFIELD 6 | REDSEC HARDWARE</strong><br />
PP-19 &#8211; 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.</p>
<p><strong>Handheld Jammer &#8211; New Gadget:</strong> 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 &#8211; or placed &#8211; in an area to provide localized malfunctions, or carried around to turn a Recon soldier into a mobile nuisance.</p>
<p><strong>#00 Buckshot &#8211; New Attachment:</strong> 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.</p>
<p><strong>Cryogenic Barrels &#8211; New Attachment:</strong> 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.</p>
<p><strong>ONE FREE WEEK OF ALL-OUT WARFARE</strong><br />
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.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://www.combatsim.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/wardogs.jpg" alt="wardogs" width="200" height="93" class="alignright size-full wp-image-12154" />BULKHEAD &#038; Team17 have revealed a brand-new gameplay trailer for <em>WARDOGS</em>, their upcoming Tactical All Out Warfare FPS, during the Future Games Show Summer Showcase.</p>
<p>Watch the trailer <a href="https://youtu.be/v1ISv_h_qXY?si=kHP36wbe3P6otmxd">HERE</a>.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The reveal comes as WARDOGS recently passed 500,000 Wishlist&#8217;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.</p>
<p>Following recent hands-on playtests, BULKHEAD is opening sign-ups for the next WARDOGS playtest. </p>
<p>Players can sign up now at <a href="https://community.wardogs.com/signup/community">community.wardogs.com/signup/community</a>.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The WARDOGS party isn’t over yet. Head to <a href="https://community.wardogs.com/">WARDOGS.com</a> 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.</p>
<p>WARDOGS arrives on Steam Early Access this summer and is available to Wishlist <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/1867240/WARDOGS/">now</a>.</p>
<p><em>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.</p>
<p>The game mode &#8211; Inspired by ‘King of the Hill’ &#8211; 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 &#8211; 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</em></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://www.combatsim.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/medic-pacific-war.jpg" alt="medic-pacific-war" width="200" height="93" class="alignright size-full wp-image-10055" />Developer Hypnotic Ants is proud to announce that <em>Medic: Pacific War</em> is available now in <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/1281640/Medic_Pacific_War/">Steam Early Access</a> for $9.99 / €9.99 / £8.99, with a 10% launch discount available for a limited time.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>To celebrate TODAY&#8217;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&#8217;s Pacific campaign.</p>
<p><a href="https://youtu.be/rVbRgfDt_xY?si=SHf1bM5QIatoszcY">Medic: Pacific War Official Early Access Trailer</a></p>
<p>The Early Access launch includes the first two chapters of the game&#8217;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&#8217; transformation from inexperienced recruit to battlefield medic, facing impossible decisions and desperate situations where every second counts.</p>
<p>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.</p>
