An aeronautical engineer, a closet salesman, a gas fitter, an ex- air force mechanic, a retired pornstar and a collection of students and professionals from all walks of life joined forces in Barbedwire studios to create their first ever product, and now it’s ready!
We want to thank Digitalmindsoft for their great support and expertise; without them, this project would not have been finished.
We also want to thank our closed beta testers for completing a huge task; without them, this would not have been possible. They have done a fantastic job.

This project has received tremendous support from the community. Be it sharing historical sources and knowledge, sharing ideas or helping us answer countless questions, the support came from all sides.
To all of those who supported us along the way; thank you!

Our release version will offer much more than the open beta, and we plan for a first update to expand on the initial content soon after release.
On release, there will be Conquest, PvP and SP content.
We will initially offer 10 SP missions, to be expanded by 2 more which are to be published after release. Furthermore there will be 20 multiplayer maps and 18 conquest maps.

After release, we will focus on the 2 SP missions to be added to the Ostfront experience.
These will practically end that development cycle and will be added as soon as possible. When that is done, the next development cycle will start.
In the course of the years ahead we want to expand Call to Arms - Gates of Hell until many different theatres have been covered.

• In 5,5 years, we published 100 official development updates and about 25 blog posts, each in 2 languages, almost averaging 2 per month.
  
• The winners of the “guerilla quiz” and the 2019 “Stalingrad” competition will receive their product key as soon as possible.

If you’re still in here reading, well done! But now, surely you want run off to put Call to Arms: Gates of Hell in your library using our STORE PAGE.

See you on the battlefield!

Dear community members!
The Open Beta playtest is over. Did you like our demo? Did you have some fun?
We want to thank everyone that took part; there was very useful feedback, and it’s now time to use it and prepare for imminent release.
In this update we want to tell you about what to expect from the release, and about what happens after.

We are in this for the long term. We are confident that we will be able to develop and improve Call to Arms: Gates of Hell for years to come and we feel the community will support us in achieving our goals.
In part, this is based on the detailed feedback we got from the community during the open beta. We have tackled the most important issues, such as fixing crashes, improving pathfinding, and fixing other issues that were found. For multiplayer improved the fog of war experience among other things. We will continue to improve after release.

As we have announced, we will be developing a number of modules to add new factions, each with their own history, equipment, campaigns and new features. These will be paid expansions. Work on the next module has already started. It’s important to get a head start, so we don’t take too long between new releases. We will keep you posted on progress of course.
