[p][/p][h2]Trailer 2.0[/h2][p]Over the last year, the game has had nearly every single base-game map remade from the ground up, and among various improvements in animations, uniforms, and vehicles it looks entirely different to just a year ago today. Considering this, we've put together a brand-new trailer that now showcases its current state (which is sure to only get even better)—Enjoy![/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][h2]Cassino Campaign[/h2][p]Cassino previously was 2 missions within the Anzio campaign. In reality, the campaign around Monte Cassino and Anzio were two different major campaigns, and for that reason we remade Cassino as its own! [/p][carousel][/carousel][p][/p][p]Now included are 15 original missions, beginning with the American advance to the Gustav line and key points from all 4 battles of Monte Cassino ranging from January to May 1944. Battle up and down the steeps of the Italian Apennine and flush Axis defenders out from the Gustav line, with the historical involvement of 7 different Allied factions partaking in the battle in game. [/p][p][/p][h2]New Roadmap - Hungary, South Tunisia & More![/h2][p]We are finally ready to announce the next DLC![/p][p]Our goal with this expansion is to bring new factions, many new weapons, and above all, a lineup of late-war vehicles to play on one of the bloodiest battles that Europe has ever seen![/p][p][/p][h3]The Battle of Hungary offers a great, unique setting for this criteria.[/h3][p]It features two factions totally new to Easy Red 2: Hungary alongside Germany, and Romania alongside Soviet Union (after switching sides in 1944).[/p][p][/p][p]It also potentially includes a wide variety of authentic weapons such as the Mannlicher rifles, Mauser VZ.24, Danuvia submachine guns, Steyr-Solothurn MG30, PPS-42/43 and much more.[/p][p]You’ll also see powerful late-war vehicles like the late war Panther variants, Tiger II, the Hungarian Zrínyi II, late war T-34 and T34/85, IS-2 and more — including rare wartime technology such as infrared night vision on Panther tanks, one of the most advanced innovations of the era, and the only instance of night vision technology being used by tank commanders in WW2 for combat. [/p][p][/p][p]Below is a photo of the WIP Panther tank rework currently underway along with the night vision modification on top![/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]One of Europe's Bloodiest City Battles[/h3][p]The DLC will include key operations such as the Siege of Budapest, Operation Konrad, and Operation Spring Awakening, offering a mix of rural, urban, and suburban combat during the final months of the war in Europe.[/p][p]Operation Spring Awakening is known as the last major offensive launched by the Third Reich during World War II, a final effort by German forces to halt the Soviet advance through Hungary. [/p][p][/p][h3]We also have many new features and content planned to come in next many months![/h3][p]South Tunisia campaign, dynamically deployable MGs and mortars, the ability to reconstruct destroyed defenses and sandbag walls, and much more.[/p][p]You can read about our new Roadmap here:[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p]
Another WW2 Project Worth Checking Out!
[p][/p][p]Our friends at De Generals Studio are also preparing a new update for their World War II game Tank Squad, releasing around the same time as this anniversary patch![/p][p]If you enjoy tactical tank gameplay and crew management in realistic battlefields, it’s definitely worth a look.[/p][p]You can find Tank Squad on Steam here: [/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]

[/p][p][/p][h3]New Features: [/h3]

  • [p]Added new complex camouflage system with automatic environment adaptation system[/p]
  • [p]Fully reworked German helmets along with adding the M42 version of Luftwaffe helmet (single decal, just the eagle) with breadbag, wires, net, winter cover and many other variants for M35 and M42[/p]
  • [p]Added many new German SPG, Panzer crew and Luftwaffe uniforms[/p]
  • [p]New US wool, paratrooper, and tank crew uniforms & more with various combinations [/p]
  • [p]New Fiat 626 civilian textures[/p]

  • [p]Improved LUT, colors, shadows, sky, reflections, lighting and overall graphics[/p]
[p]
[/p][h2]New Anzio campaign is out![/h2][p][/p][p][/p][p]
Anzio is now live with 15 missions, and the Cassino campaign will arrive in the very next update.[/p][p]In our previous post we mentioned our full focus on reworking the Anzio campaign. The original map has been split into two distinct campaigns and maps: Anzio and Cassino, including the surrounding Gustav Line area. Anzio launches today with 15 missions, while Cassino is planned to include around 14 missions—though that number may change as development continues.[/p][p][/p][p]The new Anzio campaign covers three key operations:[/p]
  • [p]Operation Shingle – The Allied landings at Anzio and the establishment of the beachhead in January.[/p]
  • [p]Operation Fischfang – Multiple missions highlighting the German counteroffensive launched in February and the intense clashes that followed.[/p]
  • [p]Operation Diadem – The Allied breakout of the stalemate at Anzio, culminating in the capture of Cisterna and Campoleone.[/p]
[p][/p][p]This remake delivers a stronger narrative connection, a more accurate recreation of the region, and a major visual upgrade.[/p][p]Cassino will be released in early November, but it’s likely to appear in beta branches during mid-October. We’ll keep sharing progress updates and work-in-progress screenshots on our Discord, so stay tuned! [/p][p][/p][h2]Reworks in vehicles & new camouflage system[/h2][p][/p][p]Our armored forces just received a major upgrade. The Panzer III has been fully reworked, and every historically significant variant is now available: E, F, G, H, J, J1, M, N, L and the fearsome Flammpanzer. Each model comes with refined visuals and performance tweaks to better reflect their real-world counterparts.[/p][p][/p][p]But the tanks themselves are only part of the story. All German vehicles now feature a brand-new dynamic camouflage system that supports a wide range of historically accurate patterns. For mission creators, this system is a game-changer: camouflage can auto-adapt to the environment based on region (latitude/longitude), time period (month and year), and seasonal weather such as snow.[/p][p]This means vehicles will naturally wear the right look for a North African desert in 1941 or a wintry Eastern Front in 1944—without any extra setup. Of course, creators can still hand-pick a specific pattern if they want full control.[/p][p]This approach doesn’t just add dozens of new camo variants; it dramatically elevates the visual fidelity of every battlefield. And we’re not stopping here: in the next update, this adaptive system will roll out to all remaining vehicles, ensuring that the entire roster meets this new quality standard.
[/p][h2]Meet the Luftwaffe Field Division![/h2][p]In the Anzio campaign many of the troops allocated were that of the Luftwaffe Field Division, famously known for their iconic blue uniforms and splinter smocks they now have their place in our latest update-- Anzio now features the famed "Hermann Goering" Division.[/p][h2][/h2][p]Alongside the Luftwaffe units, we’ve expanded the wardrobe across all factions. The German army receives the biggest boost, with over 60 new clothing pieces, including a wide variety of helmets and Panzer uniforms.[/p][p]The Allies aren’t left out: the British now sport new greatcoats and leather jerkins, and U.S. troops have several new gear additions as well.
[/p][p][/p][p]These updates bring even more historical variety and authenticity to every battlefield encounter.[/p][p][/p][h2]Next Update Target: November 10[/h2][p]
We’re aiming to release the next update by November 10.
For that date we’re preparing:[/p]
  • [p]The Cassino campaign remake[/p]
  • [p]The new camo system to be working on every vehicle in the game[/p]
  • [p]A brand-new base game trailer[/p]
  • [p]An updated roadmap[/p]

V1.5.6: General quality and performance improvements

[h2]Hi everyone![/h2]

We have a quick, smaller update this time around while we work on big things behind the scenes! Here's a summary of the most important changes on this latest version, then we'll get to a short preview of what we're working on.

[h2]New Features: [/h2]
  • Added Bren MK1.
  • Reworked Bren MK2.
  • Added feature to cancel artillery fire radio call. AI will also cancel Artillery fire when necessary.
  • Added new magnetic/sticky grenade system (for the moment used on the Japanese Type 99 Mine)
  • Added crosshair size setting.
  • Changes with vehicle MGs accuracy system.

[h2]Fixes and Improvements:[/h2]
  • Important performance improvements.
  • Improvements in TPS animations.
  • Fixes with various weapons.
  • Improvements with some textures.
  • Improvements in map & mission balancing.
  • Major fixes with localizations.
  • Fixes with SBD Dauntless.
  • Fixes with some props.
  • Fixes with uniforms.
  • Fixes with turret rotation sound.
  • Many other smaller fixes


[h2]Upcoming Reworks & Future plans[/h2]

We mentioned last time we were setting full map-making attention to our Anzio campaign rework, in which Anzio is being split into two maps and campaigns, consisting of Anzio and Cassino with the surrounding Gustav Line area. The number of missions currently planned for Anzio is going to be around 13-15, with Cassino likely being around 8 (but we aren't as far into development for that yet so we aren't too sure).

The new Anzio campaign will feature Operation Shingle: the operation involving the allied landings at Anzio and establishment of the beachhead in January. It will also feature Operation Fischfang: with multiple missions centered around the German counteroffensive at Anzio launched in February along with similar counteroffensives and clashes in the next months. Finally, it will feature Operation Diadem: the allied breakout of the stalemate at Anzio, where they finally take the long struggled for cities of Cisterna and Campoleone.

Now the campaign will feel much more connected as a narrative, and will also visually prettier and more accurate to the area as well. There is no set release date for the Anzio remake just yet, but it is possible to come into beta branches at the earliest next month. We will keep you updated and you can see various work-in-progress pics along with progress updates in our discord!

Cassino work is underway as well, and we'll share updates on that in future posts here as well as our discord.

V1.5.5: Pacific campaign reworks, new vehicles, new customization options and..

[h2]Hi everyone![/h2]

There has been a very big update today. Three campaigns have been majorly remade, and another campaign reworked, with tons of other additions and improvements! First, let's run over the changelogs.

[h2]New Features: [/h2]
  • Fully remade Kwajalein campaign. (Now Operation Flintlock)
  • Fully remade Roi-Namur campaign. (Now Operation Flintlock)
  • Fully reworked Makin campaign.
  • Reworked Stalingrad campaign.
  • Fully reworked Soviet uniforms. Added much more variation and historical accuracy, with variants ranging from OBR35 to OBR41 along with winter coat variants.
  • Added new system to customize gameplay parameters and difficulty values in campaign menu (more in this post).
  • Fully reworked Arisaka rifles, also adding an early war version of the Type 38 for the Shanghai-Nanking DLC as well as adding the Type 38 carbine.
  • New SDB Dauntless plane.
  • New crosshair options.
  • Added multplie new US marine uniforms-- all uniforms now have a version with bloused pants for extra variation in squads.
  • Added many new props for Map Editor.
  • Added many new tree props.
  • Reworked C96 animations (all variants)
  • Reworked Tokarev pistol animations.
  • Reworked Mas36 animations.

[h2]Fixes and Improvements:[/h2]
  • Reworked various Japanese tanks. Also added amphibious variant for the Ka-Mi tank.
  • Improvements in UI and menus.
  • Improved various sounds.
  • Reworked soviet rural buildings + added 3 variants for each.
  • Improvements in scripted "siege" missions.
  • Fixes and improvements on AI.
  • Updated localization.
  • Fixes in rigging on multiple vests.
  • Many other smaller fixes


Let's get right into the headliners of this update-- major and extensive pacific campaign remakes, new vehicles, and various enhanced customization options!

[h2]Kwajalein, Roi-Namur & Makin Remakes[/h2]

The pacific campaigns of Easy Red 2 (Kwajalein, Roi-Namur, and Makin) have been totally remade from the ground up. Most missions have a completely different look and feel-- with much more content in general: new squad types, more interesting and historically accurate detailed maps, many brand new missions, and a higher level of uniqueness between each of the 3 campaigns.

Some of the biggest additions to the campaigns besides the islands themselves would certainly be the iconic LVT landing craft and tank variants (LVTa) previously showcased in earlier posts. Now, most of the landing missions in the campaigns revolve around these new vehicles! Japanese tanks have also been totally reworked, with all of them brought up to a proper standard we find appropriate. The Ha-Go as well as the Ka-Mi have been redone, with the Ka-Mi getting an extra variant to accompany the amphibious flotation device attachment, allowing it to swim in water. Also, the beloved US divebomber, the SBD Dauntless, has been added.

New Marine and Army HBT uniforms have been added, including the 7th Infantry Division's checkerboard identifier panels as well as Kwajalein's 7th ID unique camo helmets. Additionally, all USMC uniforms now have a bloused variant, where the soldiers pants are not tucked all the way into his boots: an iconic look for marines in the pacific theater.

Kwajalein and Roi-Namur are now much more accurate to the real terrain and devastation that occurred in real life, where the island had been described by a marine as if "it had been picked up 20,000 feet and then dropped". In contrast to this, Makin island looks more like your typical "tropical paradise".



We're more than happy to share with you these campaign remakes, and feel now they're truly up to a great standard for Easy Red 2 in 2025, and hope you enjoy them.

Here's a fan-made trailer for the pacific campaign rework by Tracid FM.

[h2]Stalingrad Rework[/h2]

Stalingrad had its major rework around this time last year. While its visual standard was brought up greatly for the time, we felt we could do even better now. The map now is much more detailed, and missions have been reworked as well for better balancing and vehicle variety. With this also comes the totally reworked soviet uniforms, being not only far better looking but much more accurate!



[h2]New Gameplay Options[/h2]

Acknowledging common feedback about AI and overall difficulty, we understand there are players who would like more forgiving gameplay, and others who expect a hardcore challenge where the player has the same survival rate as any other unit on the field.

Our team's vision definitely leans toward a easy-to-pick-up WW2 simulator, so we don't intend to make the game more arcade-like. However, we decided to accommodate arcade-like fans by reworking how difficulty settings work.

Players can now fully customize difficulty settings with tons of new sliders and buttons: modify AI accuracy, explosion radius, suppression effects, player damage, disable player auto-surrender, change stamina duration, gun overheat values, bullet gravity and more. Now you can change the gameplay to fit your preferences, or simply provide a way to play with different rules to break up repitition. You can create and save your difficulty presets, but the game will still offer default suggested presets that recreate how we intend the game to be played.



As always, whenever mission settings are changed to values that make gameplay unbalanced or too easy, achievement unlocking will be disabled as a way to encourage players to experience the intended difficulty settings.
Multiplayer menu list will also display what parameters have been set for the room, so you can evaluate carefully before joining a multiplayer match.

This comes after listening to and interacting with our community through the Discord server, r/EasyRed2 subreddit and various other social networks in order to realize this system in a way that pays honor to the original formula of Easy Red 2, but also expanding the sandbox idea of the game to offer a more customizable experience.

[h2]Upcoming Reworks & Future plans[/h2]

With the pacific campaigns now remade, we are setting full mapping attention forward onto the Anzio and Cassino remakes, in which the original Anzio campaign is being split into two maps with likely many more missions. More details to come as it is developed more, so keep an eye on our discord! As always, alongside this work will be development improving old weapons, vehicles, and uniforms already in-game.

Once the Italian campaign rework is complete, we have several exciting ideas we can work on, including South Tunisia and Iwo Jima, along with early concepts for a larger, more ambitious campaign. We’ll properly reveal our future roadmap in a dedicated post soon—stay tuned!

[h2]Check out the Shanghai-Nanking DLC if you haven’t yet![/h2]

Our most recent DLC was released just earlier this year!
In Easy Red 2: Shanghai-Nanking, you will fight for control of Shanghai, and the conflict will spread to locations such as: Luodian, Baoshan, Wusong, Jinshanwei, Hongkou, Suzhou creek, Chunhua, the Yuhuatai hills and the city of Nanjing.
