Probably soon we will start implementing small previews of modding system, adding the possibility to include custom 3d models for props and buildings in custom maps.

Regarding Nintendo Switch the 20/12/2022 a new update will come to the console to bring the version from 1.1.6 to 1.2.0, adding all the changes including the new Roi-Namur campaign, the new vehicles and much much more. Also the 2nd of January 2023 the Stalingrad DLC will be available on the Nintendo e-Shop.

In case you didn't know we have defined a precise roadmap for the next month 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 channel. All the money raised from this will be spent to make a better game.
