Exfil News

Entry to Early Access

A huge thanks to our community, publisher Microprose and Development team for countless hours of maintenance, organization and play time during our Early Access entry.



Our commitment to iterative improvements and responding quickly to community continues from pre-release into early access as we play the game with active servers daily, take notes, discuss the game on discord, and update the public-testing branch.

The public-testing branch is updated several times a week, and we play together with the community to ensure we catch bugs and feedback early. These updates are then packaged together in an update to the main game.

Week 1 Patch Notes
The main focus that became critical was to smooth out the experience in regards to AFK players in the lobby and in game - who would stop the game from progressing. To tackle this AFK timers, and Vote-Kick features have been added.

We continue to support community hosted servers with a range of match and server settings, therefore the new AFK features have new admin settings to explore.

• AFK timeout configurable by server hosts
  
• AFK vote kick system configurable by hosts
  
• A magazine check system with animation only for m27 and hk416 atm
  
• the lobby will automatically start a timer if no admins are present
  
• A main menu redesign
  
• Match settings to allow pings to attach to players or not (for more hardcore server option)
  
• Players can now set a [Clan Tag] which helps hosts identify groups of players when organizing / balancing teams
  
• Various bug fixes (see Discord Changelog)
  

We hope these features help combat problematic players, and enhance and empower you all to foster a positive public server experience.

Join the Discord Community
The EXFIL Discord is growing with players who share our vision towards creating a realistic infantry combat simulation with advice and input from both players and veterans.

Whether you are a player looking for a realistic fps (that will never feature hotdog suits and unicorn fart emotes) or you are a military enthusiast or veteran who wishes to join our advisor group - please jump in and find us in discord and in game!

We have a vision to break free of gear fear and overwhelming inventory simulations of recent tactical FPS games. Our goal is to make getting into the boots of a soldier more immediate when you choose to play EXFIL, and to focus on communication, teamwork and military realism.

What's Next?
AI will be started in January, but first, we have something cooking...tick tock...

See you in game, Misultin Out.

Hello, Operators!

We’re thrilled to announce a monumental step forward for EXFIL. After months of hard work, dedication, and discussions, we’ve officially partnered with MicroProse to publish our game!

For many of us on the team, MicroProse is more than just a name—it’s a legacy. As gamers, we grew up inspired by their iconic titles that set the gold standard for military strategy, realism, and innovation. As developers, it’s an honor to collaborate with a company that shares our commitment to delivering not just games but experiences that stand the test of time.

This partnership is more than just a publishing deal. MicroProse's unparalleled expertise in tactical and military-themed titles will allow us to refine and expand EXFIL in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Their legacy of pushing the boundaries in simulation and strategy aligns perfectly with our vision for EXFIL as the ultimate tactical sandbox FPS. With their support, we can confidently say that this game will be the best it can be.

Here’s what this means for you:

• Greater Resources: With MicroProse's backing, we can accelerate development on some of the ambitious features we’ve been teasing—like the scenario editor, global stat tracking, and NPC integration.
  
• Expert Guidance: Their decades of experience will help us polish the EXFIL experience, ensuring the balance, depth, and realism our players deserve.
  
• A Commitment to Longevity: MicroProse’s reputation for nurturing games long after launch means EXFIL will continue to grow and evolve with our community at the forefront.
  

We’re still the same passionate team of four, dedicated to listening to your feedback and building something extraordinary. Now, with MicroProse by our side, we’re ready to take this journey to the next level.

Thank you for believing in EXFIL. Together with MicroProse, we’re going to create something truly special.

See you on the field!
— The Misultin Studios Team

Thanks to everyone for the play hours and over 10,000 players who came and played Exfil over the week long event.

It was encouraging to us developers to see the breadth and depth of player types increasing to a much more world wide breadth.

As a follow up to our "screenshot contest" we have unfortunately discovered that the steam Demo page is setup in such a way that we can't see any of the screen shots posted on the demo pages content and there unfortunately is no way to remedy this. (Demo pages don't have public community pages)

We want to give everyone an extra week (deadline 10/27/2024) to repost screenshots of the in our discord pics channel. Please let us know if you have any questions.

If you need to find your own screen shots please see the attached image and use this source to find the screenshots on disk. These can then be posted in our discord.

Look forward to seeing all your images in the week to come!
