A big shout out to our Closed Beta testers today, they have done a tremendous job! The past weeks have been really busy for the testers - a great effort.

It is with great pleasure that we announce the release of the next title in the Gates of Hell saga. Scorched Earth deepens the eastern front experience like nothing else will; enjoy the new recon plane mechanics and the brand new units, missions and everything else.
Scorched Earth also introduces weaponry that has been requested by countless users; surely you already spotted at least one of them in the images we’ve shared. If not, get Scorched Earth today, and you’ll find out very soon! What does it contain? You can find it on the store page:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2123890/Call_to_Arms__Gates_of_Hell_Scorched_Earth/

To make sure the Scorched Earth DLC works as intended, your game must be on the latest version (1.026.0) before you add Scorched Earth to your library. This is essential to avoid issues.
So if you have switched to a legacy version, you should change that to 1.026.0 first.

Community members! As we have in the past, with the Scorched Earth expansion on the way, we’d like to detail some of the future content. As usual, we mix in some studio news as well.

The Scorched Earth SP missions (4 for USSR, 4 for Germany) can be added to the Ostfront campaign. As you may know, we want our SP missions to be like re- enactments; we use the historical locations for each of the battles, and satellite data for the height maps. A blogpost on our website reveals just how we work to get these missions as historically accurate as we possibly can.
In this blog, we re- visit a sort of tradition of ours, which is to dive into the history of one of the missions. Today, we will show you a new Soviet SP campaign mission.

East of the Gdansk bay, at the estuary of the Prgolja river, lies modern day Kaliningrad. If you were to take a walk in the center of town, there is little that reminds you of what happened here in 1945; there is no trace of the utter destruction that followed one of the bloodiest sieges ever, and yet it took place here, in early 1945.
Kaliningrad was called Königsberg then, and it was the capital of East Prussia. It had already been heavily damaged in allied bombing raids in 1944; and in spite of everything that had happened in the weeks and months before the red army arrived, the local “Gauleiter” had not organized any civilian evacuation. When the red army arrived in january 1945, the city was crammed with at least 100 to 120K refugees. Once the city was encircled, there was no way out at first. But when a German counteroffensive from the direction of Pillau punched a corridor in the Soviet- held territory, many refugees were able to get away to Pillau by road. Pillau was still in German hands and evacuation by ship was the only way to escape the hell of Königsberg.


Refugees boarding a ship in Pillau, 1945

The Königsberg garrison was left behind, and ordered to fight to the last bullet and the last man, as usual in those days. They built barricades, using rubble from destroyed houses, and manned the forts.
The forts were not entirely modern, but usable for the defense. There were several concentric rings of interconnected forts and fortifications, all built in 1888, a total of 15 forts defending the inner city.
The Soviets brought plenty of artillery to the siege; in some places they had 250 guns in a single kilometer of frontline. For no less than 4 days they pounded the city. Then, on April 6th, the bombardment stopped. What was to follow was hell on earth, fought in ruined streets and against fanatical opposition.


ZIS-3 in action in Königsberg

This mission will - as always - come with a briefing to set the scene for what’s to come.


The lagoon south- west of Königsberg is called “Frisches Haff”

On to the mission itself then.
It’s April, and the stranglehold on Königsberg is getting tighter every day. The massive attacks on the outer defense lines have been short but fierce. Now, the city proper lies ahead; your sector is on the edge of the built- up area around the central railway station.
Your commanding officer tells you that your orders are clear; fight your way to the central station, clear the entire area of enemies, then link up with 31st guards rifle division who are advancing on your right flank.


HD Link

You will have to deal with those barricades and built- up defenses first! You have a choice of equipment at the start; if you pick the right doctrine you get equipped with our latest tanks and assault guns. Your assault sappers are armed to the teeth and several of them carry flamethrowers.
This should be sufficient to get you to the station, but don’t take anything for granted! Those fascists seem to grow more fanatical every day, and they will take every opportunity to slow you down.


HD Link

Once you have established contact with 31st guards and cleared out the station area, you will probably need artillery support to take on the fortified redoubt Haberberg, which dominates the other side of the station. As soon as you have neutralized the entire area, Stavka will allocate a heavy artillery unit to you. Smash them to pieces!


HD Link

Once the Haberberg position is neutralized, you cautiously advance into the city center to achieve your main objective for today, which is to take control of the greater Thorner Strasse and central station area, to clear the way for the assault wave, which will attack across the river.
Write your farewell letters and get going….

We’ve got our heads down to test the Scorched Earth package in our CBT, and as you can see in this blog, this is ongoing right now. It follows the work & CBT we did on Content Update 4, which has already been tested.
In parallel, we’re working on the next faction.
As always, we continue to work on quality at the same time; your input is appreciated & we use it to constantly improve the game!
On another note, we have translated our manual. It is now available in Russian as well. You can find it on the Ostfront store page, check the image below:



That’s it for the moment. If you want to be among the first to play the missions, be sure to wishlist the Scorched Earth expansion; for now, thanks for stopping by, and see you on the battlefield!

• The 3rd Belorussian front deployed no less than 1.500.000 men to East Prussia
  
• Many refugees chose to cross the frozen “Frisches Haff” on foot, only to find there was no friendly territory on the other end anymore.
  
• The ships that took refugees out of Königsberg and Pillau usually returned with supplies for the army
  
• Unlike bedsprings, AT meshes offer some protection against AT projectiles.
  
• We regularly discuss battles like the Königsberg siege on our Discord server.

Community members! Earlier this month, we released an important update focusing on balancing, improvements, fixes and optimization. We think players like the quality of life improvements. In the meantime, we have another announcement to make.

In our previous blog we announced the Scorched Earth DLC, but there is more in the pipeline! Content update 4 will be a FREE UPDATE and we plan to release it around the same time as the Scorched Earth DLC. This update will add new content to the original Ostfront release and will add another layer of value for all players.

The update adds:

• 8 new vehicles
  
• 6 new MP maps.
  
• Improved parachute mechanics
  
• New buildings and other assets
  
• Several updated humanskins
  
• Improvements to some of the existing models.

Because this will be a free update, this will be available to all players!

We are also working on a major sound overhaul, which won’t arrive in time for Content update 4, but will still be released for free in the future.

Throughout the project, we have improved in all areas of the game, and the audio is no exception. Although Call to Arms - Gates of Hell has been critically acclaimed for its audio, we keep looking for ways to make it even better. The planned implementation introduces new technology; it was made in collaboration with Hang ‘Em High, who designed some of the most popular mods currently available. The sound overhaul will completely redefine the way our game sounds and feels. Our goal is to create the most immersive and realistic soundscape of any WWII RTS game, and make it a future-proof audio experience. We’ll keep you posted on progress via the #developer-telegraph channel on our official Discord server.

We are quite sure you will be pleased with this free update!

If you haven't yet, check our latest devblog - more news there!

Community members, we have some news to share and an announcement to make! We have exciting plans for the near future, and this blog reveals what will happen in the next couple of days and weeks.

Before we talk about adding content, let’s take a look at what comes first. In the coming days we will be pushing another game update; it contains some new units, a number of fixes and improvements, balancing changes, and optimization.
You’ll always find us working on fixes in parallel with the development of new content, as the two are rather unrelated. As always we will list all the changes in a detailed changelog, which will be posted when the update drops. Stay tuned!

We are proud to announce the next DLC for Call to Arms - Gates of Hell. It’s called “Scorched Earth” and it will be available soon!
During the development of Ostfront we were quite aware that it was impossible to tell the whole story of the Eastern Front in the initial release, due to the sheer amount of battles and the length of the conflict. However, our work in building the eastern front did not finish on release, we kept working to recreate more of the battlegrounds that defined the brutal eastern front. We released a lot of new units, maps and missions for free in three separate content updates, but some of the longer and more costly work has been kept in storage for this good occasion.

Scorched Earth consists of a mass of singleplayer and multiplayer content. There are new assets, vehicles, units, maps and missions, you name it. The singleplayer missions will expand the original German and USSR campaigns. The new multiplayer content will make its way through new doctrines available for Germany and the USSR. All in all, it adds a ton of new content to complete the bigger picture of the eastern front, the most vast and brutal theater of operations of WWII.

The integration of Scorched Earth will be like the Talvisota integration. That means DLC owners get access to its contents - units, missions and doctrines. Players who don’t own the DLC can always play alongside or against the new units in PvP/PvE. In the future, we will maintain these principles. As you may know, we’re developing the next faction in parallel - which is going to be a huge package as well - and we intend to integrate that along the same lines, when the time comes.

Scorched Earth testing has started. That means the finish line is already in sight, but there’s quite a bit to be done still. We’ll keep you posted on progress; we don’t have a date for release yet but we’ll tell you more in one of our next updates.
As a matter of fact, we are currently recruiting new testers. If you want to see the DLC early, be sure to sign up as a tester on our Discord server! You can find the form in the #developer-telegraph channel.
