Sittard, The Netherlands, 19 December 2012 – InterWave Studios announces the release of Nuclear Dawn Patch 6.9.

This long-awaited patch for the award-winning FPS-RTS hybrid Nuclear Dawn features a major update to gameplay, with the implementation of the Player Levelling Systems.

As of Patch 6.9, players will be able to gain levels, and unlock an upgrade of their choosing with each level reached. Not only will they be able to increase their health and weapon damage, but also to unlock features such as access to Siege Classes, which were previously only unlockable by the Commander.

Further enhancements brought by 6.9 include game controller support for both game and in-game menus, positional audio for Mumble clients, and a reworked, extended server browser that implements much of the community’s feedback.

There is of course more, including bug fixes and community mod support. For a full list of changes in 6.9, head over here on our <a href="http://forums.interwavestudios.com/topic/4731-nuclear-dawn-patch-69-november-2012/" target="_blank">forums</a>.

SITTARD, THE NETHERLANDS– November 9th, 2012– InterWave Studios announces the release of Nuclear Dawn patch 6.8, which brings a new game mode, Steam Workshop support, and several improvements, all at a reduced price of 9.99USD.

As well as fixing several exploits and updating the localizations, we introduce Skirmish, a Team Deathmatch game mode for players itching to sample Nuclear Dawn’s class-based tactical combat without the intricacies of RTS gameplay.

Two teams, four classes and a whole lot of weapons and ammo should make for some interesting, brutal and visceral matches. Skirmish stars its own release map, sk_metro, based on the homonymous Warfare location, tweaked for even closer combat.

It’s not all war and destruction, however, and Patch 6.8 also includes full Steam Workshop support for the distribution of custom, community-made maps and content. Now is the time to finish up those maps to share with the world!

It would have been wrong to provide two major goodies without a third. Therefore, Nuclear Dawn’s price has as of today been lowered to 9.99USD, and the equivalent amount in your local Steam currencies.

To celebrate the new release, Nuclear Dawn will be 75% off today only, in a Steam daily deal.
