For a couple of times over the last few months, the Overhype team has joined the community in the official Discord to chat about Battle Brothers (among other things). These events were very interesting (and fun!), so we promised to do it again every now and then; but for the next one we want to take this a step further.

This Friday (February 3rd) at 3:30 pm CET and will run for about 2 hours,. We’ll have a new Chat with the Devs event at our official Discord server; but this time it will be a live talk on Discord, in a new Stage Channel that will be created for this purpose. To make it easier to follow, we’ll gather your questions in the #general chat room and answer you in the voice channel.

We will broadcast the whole event here on Steam too, for those of you who don’t have a Discord account. And to make it more interesting to watch, our community team will be starting a new playthrough of the game. There is now a poll active on our Discord server to decide the origin of this playthrough and discuss other possible roleplaying rules – join us on Discord and give your two cents, and see you next Friday!
