You can already check and wishlist the DLC here:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2317930/Easy_Red_2_Normandy/

Also a super cool trailer will be out very very soon!
Compared to the Stalingrad DLC, this one was focused more on adding a the best map we could, we really put much much effort on making good props with good destruction and good missions to play with them. We also are going to add several new vehicles for this new campaign, as mentioned in the DLC page description.



Console news

We are also working to bring the campaign and all the mentioned updates released so far on Nintendo Switch possibly by the end of June, or if we have delays with Nintendo, during July. We are also in contact with Microsoft right now to discuss the possibility of releasing the game on Xbox, more news will come soon.

Extra informations

In case you didn't know we have defined a precise roadmap for the next months of development and you can read it here.

We keep improving all features of the base game and as always we will be going on listening to suggestions from people inside the Steam Discussions and the Discord server.

The updates for the base game we are constantly releasing are very expansive, so if you are interested on giving us a hand to make a better work, this is our Patreon. All the money raised from this will be spent to make a better game.
