2022-03-08 Release Notes



Attention, Generals!

Today we implement a news popup for the Beta Client that will inform you about the latest news in Call of War. This new feature will make sure that you do not miss any update with changes that might be relevant for your strategies in the game.
The popup will only be displayed if you haven't read the news yet. Don't worry, only the very latest update will be displayed, and only if you have not read them yet.

Apart from the new update feature we reworked the espionage panels in the Beta Client to improve their visuals and usability for certain resolutions, common for laptops. Additionally we fixed a bug affecting the functionality of the popup informing players about a lost connection to the servers.

For the detailed overview of today's changes and bug fixes, please check our Release Notes and share your feedback with us on the forums and our Discord server.

Stay tuned for future updates and best of luck on the battlefield!

We show support - A message from Bytro



We are shocked and worried about the terrible events unfolding between Russia and Ukraine and are especially concerned for those who have to fear for the safety of themselves and their families. We think of our colleagues from both countries and how they and their loved ones are being affected by the latest events.

To show our support to those who need it the most, we are donating 100 crisis packages with relief supplies for emergencies and 50 winter clothing packs for children affected by war through Unicef.

We create strategy games not to support the war or to glorify it. We create games to bring people together.
