With the Steam Autumn Sale kicking off today, nominations for the 2024 Steam Awards are now underway. We hope you'll consider nominating Squad 44 for the Labor of Love Award.

Squad 44 has truly been a labor of love.


From the people who have developed Squad 44 over the years, to the players who have been with us since the very beginning, Squad 44 is a game that just won’t quit. With the upcoming release of the Pacific Chapter, we can’t wait to see what the future holds.

Over the past year, we announced our plans with the release of the 6-month roadmap, setting the framework for the changes and improvements the team was ready to take on.

In the middle of the year, we released the Reign of Steel update, our largest update to date. This update included massive vehicle updates, with around 40 new vehicles joining the Squad 44 arsenal. We also introduced a brand new gamemode, Frontline, which has been receiving great feedback from the community.


As the year moved forward, we updated our roadmap and officially announced that we’re introducing the Pacific as the newest theatre for Squad 44 , with the first update coming before the end of this year. So much hard work and dedication has gone into the making of the first map, Iwo Jima, and we can’t wait to get this update into your hands.

We wouldn’t be here without the incredible support from this community, and for that, we are truly grateful. Being nominated for the Labor of Love Award would mean so much to us, so please consider choosing Squad 44 for this year's Steam Awards.

If you haven't already, you can pick up Squad 44 for 50% off until the end of the Steam Autumn Sale. We'll see you on the Pacific Front, soon enough!

Hey there folks!

The team has been working hard to bring you this latest update, which includes 100-player server functionality, Frontline mode added to more maps and layers, updated mines and explosives, bug fixes and more! Full changelog down below.

After this update, the team's main focus will be towards the Pacific, so regular updates will slow down. During this time, we plan on showcasing what’s being worked on with livestreams, social posts, dev blogs, etc. Keep your eyes on socials for updates!



We have undertaken some UE4 replication optimisation using existing technology from our other Offworld title, Squad. This means servers should run significantly smoother and now allow for 100 players!

Thanks to everyone who came out to our public playtest!




Following the success of the new frontline gamemode, we have rolled it out across all maps in the game. This means players will be able to enjoy the frontline gamemode across all chapters, a total of 20 maps.

Additionally, we have added several new objective types, such as document search, where players have several areas to search to find documents for their squad lead or commander to recover. We have also added a wider variety of objectives to destroy, such as weapon caches, vehicles, deployed mortars, etc.




We have added the new tanks from Reign of Steel into the armoured game mode. This will allow armoured players more opportunities to try out the tanks and compete against one another in all-out armoured combat.

Commander observation cupolas have been overhauled to bring the periscopes much closer together. This makes them more usable for buttoned-up tank commanders by increasing their situational awareness.



Armour-Piercing shells have received a tweak in their performance meaning that spalling from these shells is better scaled based on their caliber. The cone in which spalling projectiles occur has also been narrowed to better emphasize the importance of getting an accurate shot on a particular tank component. Depending on the type of armour-piercing ammunition, the amount of hull damage conferred will be different. In general, AP ammunition deals the most damage, but has the least amount of penetration potential. APCR, APCBC, APDS and HVAP ammunition types generally deal less damage but have higher penetration potential. We also increased the minimum bounce angle of HEAT-type ammunition by 50%, meaning that it’ll be much easier to score a hit with HEAT ammunition on an angled surface.

We are also introducing 2 new vehicle variants in this update: the Cromwell Mk.VI ‘Close Support’ (CS) Tank, which sports a 95mm howitzer and lots of high-explosive ammunition, and the AEC Mk. III Armoured Car, which has a powerful QF 75mm gun.






We have added in the smoke rocket to the US bazooka and have refined the behavior of mines to reflect their real life abilities. So the ‘Bouncing Betty’ mine (German S-Mines) will now “bounce” up and other mines of the various other factions will reflect their real world performance too. All mines are now placed individually rather than in clusters, and the amount of which you can place has been overall increased. A very noticeable click and delay before detonation also ratchets up the tension after stepping on a mine.



Hand grenades as well now have been tweaked to reflect their real life counterparts. An example is the German stick grenade having a wider blast radius but higher damage falloff due to its lack of significant fragmentation, compared to the American Mk2 ‘Pineapple’ grenades or the British Mills Bomb.

American and British fragmentation rifle grenades now also reflect their real life performance and are on a timed fuse rather than an impact detonated fuse. This will mean you’ll need to adjust the way you use these grenades and they will be a far less of a lucrative option to get easy kills. Being on a timed fuse allows you to also shoot them into rooms in close quarters more safely.


We have worked hard to rework St Mere Eglise and Carentan to be more in line with their historical real world locations. Various building models have been further refined and furniture has been installed in various open buildings to give both maps more of a lived in feel.




We have continued to work on bug fixing and have also been tweaking the performance of various vehicles as well as developing more realistic animations for a lot of weapons in game.

• Added Frontline Gamemode to 18 maps - Arnhem, Best, Carentan, Colmar Winter, Colmar Summer, Dinant, Doorwerth, Foy, Grave, Haguenau, Heelsum, Maginot, Maleme, Oosterbeek, Rethymno, St Mere Eglise, Stonne, Velmolen

Big shoutouts to Russo and MDGS who helped us gather screenshots.

We will be hosting a public playtest Aug 9, 2024 at 18:00 UTC on the Squad 44 - Public Testing app to test 100-player server capacity. Space will be limited as only one server will be up during the testing period, so it will be on a first-come-first-serve basis!

You can join the playtest by downloading the Squad 44 - Public Testing app.
PLEASE NOTE! This is different from the main game! If you cannot see it, go to the top of Steam, click on “View”, and then “Hidden Games”





If you already have it installed, an update will be made available a few hours ahead of the test for you to download.

This playtest we’ll be testing:

• Server capacity (100 players) and server health
  
• New Frontline layers

Full update notes coming soon! We hope you’ll be able to join us!

Hey folks! We have a heavily armoured update for you!



We’re excited to announce that we have collaborated with community member Internoto (Project Variety), and are introducing almost 40 new vehicles and AT guns with this update. This includes:

• Jagdpanzer 38t (Hetzer) (German)
  
• Sturmhaubitze 42 (StuH) (German)
  
• Panzerwerfer 42 (German)
  
• Ostwind (German)
  
• Sdkfz 234/3 Stummel (German)
  
• Marder 3 Ausf. M (German)
  
• Nashorn (German)
  
• Sdkfz 251/22 (Pak40) (German)
  
• leichtes Infanterieschütz 18 (German)
  
• Sturer Emil (German)
  
• M36 Jackson (US)
  
• Calliope (US)
  
• Sherman M4A3E2 Jumbo (US)
  
• M26 Pershing (US)
  
• M3 Gun Carrier (US)
  
• M20 Utility Car (US)
  
• M1 ATG (US)
  
• AEC Armored Car (UK)
  
• Tetrarch (UK)
  
• Challenger (UK)
  
• Comet (UK)
  
• Valentine Mk XI (UK)
  
• M1919A4 .30cal Willys Jeep (US)
  
• MG42 Kubelwagen (German)
  
• And more!

We have also added some interesting new game mechanics, allowing infantry the ability to ride on friendly tanks, and also to operate mounted MGs on some tanks – adding extra firepower and incentivising combined arms operations in game. Driver-operated smoke launchers have also been fitted to numerous armored vehicles in game, making tanks significantly more formidable opponents.

We gave a sneak peek of Frontline in this preview, and we’re excited to include it in this update!



This mode is still work-in-progress, and will initially be available on three maps as we look to refine it (with your feedback) and roll it out on more maps in future patches. The maps included in this update are:

• Driel
  
• Utah
  
• Veghel

The Arnhem Range has had a large overhaul to allow it to include a new tank practice range, a driver training track, an updated infantry shooting range (with pop-up targets), a logistics training area, and a kill house, where players can compete against one another to achieve the title of most deadly!



Arnhem range will be able to be hosted on community servers which will allow players an environment in which they can train and compete together, allowing players to get to know each other while preparing for the fight! We hope this will help clans in particular.

It is also our aspiration that players may be able to access the range in future, while queuing for a live server, making servers queue times significantly more palatable.


In addition to all the new content coming, we have also spent time polishing existing maps, with graphical improvements made to several Chapter 1 maps as well as Chapter 3 maps. Chapter 4 maps have also benefited from improved lighting and shadow work to provide a greater immersive environment for the player. We are, however, most proud of the overhaul of Utah invasion mode, which, in addition to graphics changes, now features wave spawning landing craft and scripted events (like dummy landing craft) to provide that next level of immersion.



Numerous small bugs have been fixed in this update and we hope this will be particularly clear in the use of bayonets and AT guns. Some weapon animations have also been refined and we have aligned weapon sway to relate more to weapon weight, while recoil, bullet penetration, and suppression have been amended to reflect weapon caliber. On top of all of this, we have removed the requirement for rallies to be refreshed after being placed, added faction-specific cinematic end screens and music, created new role icons, and started to put together an up-to-date community drive. This community drive will allow the community to access up-to-date information on all map layers, vehicles, and admin spawn commands.
