Greetings!

We are pleased to announce the Steam Winter Sale 2022 with Post Scriptum participating in the sale 65% discounted, with a Free Weekend running from January 5th - January 9th.

Now is also a good time for us to give everyone a heads-up that Periscope Games will be closed and away for the holidays from December 23rd - January 4th where we will return ready to take on 2023.

Our initial plan was to have our Quality of Life update that was planned on the roadmap out by the end of the year, due to some constraints we haven't been able to carry out this update and will instead commit to this update during 2023.

We hope you too will use this time to spend time with family, friends and your loved ones.

Now lets talk about some Winter Sale and Free Weekend news!

Greetings!

We're pleased to be able to share some more news in this devblog about the final map coming to Chapter 4. This map was not initially planned, but we ended up deciding late into development to create a 3rd and final map for Chapter 4.

We also have news about the Steam Autumn Sale which starts on Nov. 22nd @ 6 PM UTC and runs until Nov. 29th.


[h2]Steam Autumn Sale 2022[/h2]
[h3]50% Discount on Post Scriptum Nov. 22nd - Nov. 29th @ 6 PM UTC[/h3]


Starting November 22nd @ 6 PM UTC the Steam Autumn Sale kicks off as it does every year around this time.

Post Scriptum will as per tradition participate in this event with a 50% discount for Post Scriptum throughout the sale. The sale will run from November 22nd - November 29th @ 6 PM UTC

Now, let's take a look at Colmar for Post Scriptum's Chapter 4.

[h2]Colmar[/h2]


Colmar is the 3rd and final map for Chapter 4 of Post Scriptum, which brings Post Scriptum to the year 1945 which marked the final few months of the war in Europe.

Colmar is inspired by the action that took place in central Alsace region of France during the November 1944 - February 1945 period. The German forces had established a large bridgehead on the Rhine which collapsed during an offensive action by the US forces.



The Allied kept driving further into German territory and eventually formed a large pocket around German troops in the city of Colmar. This is what became known as the "Colmar Pocket" for its shape. A few months after this the Allied was able to push the German forces out of Colmar and clearing the region.



Colmar as a map is interesting to us because of a few notable reasons, it has a high level of varied terrain, but it also allows us to return to some design elements players will find familiar from Chapter 1, as such you'll find Colmar a refreshing return to our Chapter 1 style of vast open flat terrain, with many intersecting fields and towns.



Colmar is also interesting because it'll field a new 1944/45 edition of the French Army, which at this stage was being supplied by the US and partially by the British, this sets the stage for us to make a new interesting composition for a faction which at this stage relied heavily on the equipment supplied to it by US, British and captured equipment.



While historically the French were almost entirely supplied by the US, it does offer us some flexibility to make a faction that doesn't conform to the standards of any particular faction, as such we plan to give this faction a mixture of equipment from across all of our chapters and with the US, British and German weapons likely to be present in some capacity.



Additionally, Colmar is going to be one of the few maps in the game that will come in both a pre-snow condition as shown in this devblog, but also in a winterized form that makes Chapter 4 different from all previous chapters, you can expect both these two versions to feature unique look for both the map, but also the troops.

We hope you've enjoyed getting a look at this last map coming to Chapter 4 of Post Scriptum, we'd love to hear what you think about it.

Greetings!

We hope you've had fun playing our Halloween themed zombie gamemode "Contagion".

After some consideration and discussion within the team, we have made the decision to make the Halloween gamemode a permanent feature of Post Scriptum, allowing players to play this mode whenever they want going forward.

While no major updates are planned to the Contagion gamemode, we may update this mode at some point in the future if time permits us.

Outside of the end of the Halloween Event, we will be announcing the release of Third-Party Developer Mercury Arts' latest major update titled 'Molon Labe' which features the next map "Rethymno" on the island of Crete as well as the Greek faction.

We will also be unveiling details of a new map coming to Chapter 4 of Post Scriptum in the very near future, so stay tuned for that!


Sincerely,
Periscope Games
