even the teams, load your weapon and let's get it on!
Focus of this update is mainly to re-introduce the Pumpkin boxes during our Halloween event but also a juicy update of the WW2 Undead mode! More information about the event can be found >> HERE <<.
We've also updated the WW2 Undead mode with a new map! Experience the community-made Swan River map in all its extravagance in the Undead mode. The Swan River map was a recent addition to the game and its urban close-quarters environment are perfect for chaotic battles with the undead and the Axis remnants!
Some additional changes have been made to the standard WW2 mode as well, including some new content. See the changelog below.
Happy Running, your Osumia Games

We also extended and reworked the WW2: Undead gamemode:
Experience Swan River as a new map in the WW2: Undead campaign! Fend off hordes of Undead and forces of the Remnants as you fight through the devastated city and rout out their stronghold in the Mansion.
After the release of the new map "Swan River" last week, we made a small Dominance PvP session and had a blast! We want to do that again next Saturday and hope to bring the server to smoke! We'll select the best maps for the session, featuring Swan River (which just has been extended by a new KotH substage).
Server: "DOMINANCEEU2" - 64 server slots

Reward: no reward, just pure fun! Make sure to make the teams even and let's rock!
In today's release, we want to highlight a new map called SWAN RIVER based on a community map of the same name originally developed by a Runner named Trudin in the workshop. We contacted him and he agreed right away that we can adapt it to be included among the various game modes. Again, thanks for the opportunity!
The original map was designed to be played with the Edelweiss DLC so we needed to convert it for Vanilla. A few days ago, we thought that why wouldn't we make the map playable in Vanilla Invasion AND in WW2 Invasion after all? So here we go, we have the first map included in both! If you guys want to give Trudin a thumbs up on the map, feel free to leave him a message under his project here!
The map is also playable in Dominance PvP and while mentioning this gamemode, it'll be time to organize the next PvP session for those who are interested. Usually events are being organized in Discord!
We also reworked the Man vs. Zombies gamemode as a pre-Halloween release by adding difficulty progression relying on monster difficulty increasing across the campaign, rather than controlling the difficulty through the overall amount of enemies. Therefore, no more high tier mobs in the first stage but quite a few of them in later stages!
For a complete list of changes, please check the changelog below!
