We are finally launching Xbox version of the game the 16th of february 2024!
The game will be available on both Xbox One and Series X|S, and it will feature all PC features up to version 1.3.1, except for the Steam Workshop features.


We also recently updated Switch version to 1.3.1 to bring the new reworked uniforms, and various improvements and fixes up to this version.



We recently run a poll about future campaigns, and apparently North Africa (we will see what campaigns specifically soon) is what most players would like to see next, so we will start working into this free campaign very soon!
However Kos rework still has priority and works on the new campaign will not start before we finish the current rework, probably in 2-3 months.

We manage to start a new reowkr on various uniforms to improve the overall quality of the game.
We just released the rework for US Infantry, US Military Police and Japanese SNLF Uniforms, however uniforms for almost every country will be reworked during next weeks.
The rework doesn't just include better looking models but they also feature a particular attention to the historical details.
We also plan to add a lot of new uniforms soon featuring the same style and attention to details.

Here you can see some in game reworked uniforms, and a new D-Day infantry uniform coming soon, but this is just a tiny look to a quite big rework that is involving more than 30 uniforms and vests at the moment.

We are also currently running a Poll regarding what campaigns to add during next year!

Note:
•Typically, we can create assets for new campaigns concurrently with the development of exciting features, like the upcoming AI rework, as my part in coding is distinct from the work of the artists involved in making assets.
•Overall, our plan is to create one or a few new free campaigns, starting off in early 2023.
•This poll is exclusively about campaigns. Suggestions for features of stuff unrelated to new campaigns will be ignored as they belong to another poll.

You can access the poll here!
