We hope you are doing well. It’s been a busy couple of weeks for the entire team, but it proved to be a fitting end to an already busy and productive year!
As is our Steel Division 2 custom (the third one in a row already!), we are going to leave you for a (short) break before returning in full force in 2022. We’ll recharge the batteries over Christmas and be back before you know it in the first week of the new year.
A New Game
It’s been a heck of a ride, but we pulled it off! We revealed our brand-new game, the World War III battle simulator WARNO (which stands for Warning Order), last Friday. The unveiling didn’t go down without a hitch, of course, which is always the case. For instance, the Steam page was unable to be published for some hours, but we got everything sorted in the end. If you have missed it, be sure to wishlist WARNO and get ready for the Early Access launch on January 20th.
We know quite a few of you have been clamoring to know what this means for Steel Division 2. We said it before, and we’ll say it again, but we will continue to work on our World War II game in the same way we have done in the last two-and-a-half years. There is no change in plans, no radical departure from our schedule; you will still have your weekly blog post, and we are still planning, developing, and creating exciting new content for Steel Divison 2. Yes, this means new Nemesis DLCs, new units, new divisions, a new Army General campaign, new expansions, and much more.
Do not worry: Steel Division 2 is a game that thrives, and we are 100% committed to keeping it that way for the foreseeable future.
Tribute to the Liberation of Italy
You will have to wait a bit longer to get to play with our latest expansion, the Tribute to the Liberation of Italy. It won’t be until the new year that we’ll be able to launch it. Expect a release date when we are back! In the meantime, look at those mosaics of some new infantry & vehicles.
The Strike Team is currently busy play testing and checking new units and divisions. They are all in a good place now. In the next couple of days, they should receive the greenlight to stream freely the Tribute to the Liberation of Italy expansion. And you know what that means: a release will shortly be upon us.
We have also moved most of our attention on the Nemesis: Raid on Drvar DLC. Once again, more information will come in the future. Expect the launch soon after the Tribute to the Liberation of Italy expansion.
We bid you adieu!
That is everything for this week and year! We will see you on the other side, commander. It’s been a pleasure, and let’s try to make 2022 a better year than the ones that came before (hopefully shouldn’t be too difficult).
From the whole Eugen Systems team: we wish you happy holidays and all the best for 2022. We will be back in the first week of January.
Don’t forget to keep a close watch on our Steam forums to keep up to date with the latest discussions. Looking for an online game? Visit the kick-ass Discord server or Reddit page.
We've received plenty of feedback from our players on the South America server during the previous season, with too many bots being frequently mentioned. This is something we take seriously, and after a round of discussions, we've decided to take action. Adding bots to matchmaking has reduced queue times for games. However, when too few players queue up, games can easily be filled with too many bots which naturally detracts from the experience. This is something we don't want to happen. So, we've decided to divide players on the EF server into different brackets depending on their levels, and thereby reduce the number of bots. This change will be rolled out at 06:00 (GMT-4) on 23th Dec. This change will reduce the number of bots and improve the overall gameplay experience. However, with fewer bots, queue times are bound to increase. We will continue to monitor the feedback and data we collect and make further changes if we believe it is necessary. Should you have any feedback regarding these new changes, feel free to send us an email or get in touch with one of our community managers. Thank you for supporting Conqueror's Blade!
