Back from vacations
Hello, commander! It’s good to be back.
After some much-needed holidays, the whole Eugen team is refreshed and ready to return to battle. However, we haven’t been sitting idle these last couple of weeks.
As always, Steel Division 2 development keeps trucking along. Quite a few interesting projects are being worked on as we speak; let’s give you an update on some of them.
[h2]It’s all in a name…[/h2]
As you know, we are working hard on getting the next Steel Division 2 expansion into your hands as soon as possible. Both publicly and internally, we used to call the expansion the Battle of Turda. Now, the expansion has officially received a new name: Blood Feud in Transylvania!
In next week’s DevBlog, we’ll talk a little more about the latest happenings of Blood Feud in Transylvania!
[h2]Nemesis: Siege of Dunkrik[/h2]
When we left you at the end of July, we just finished the sixth, and newest, Nemesis voting round. In case you missed the news, the unique long-running Siege of Dunkirk will be the focus of the next Nemesis DLC. Read more about it in this DevBlog here.
This mini-expansion will focus on the Axis defenders of Festung Dünkirchen squaring off against the free Czech and Slovak forces of the Czechoslovakian Independent Armoured Brigade Group or CIABG.
We have started laying the groundwork for this DLC, with more details to come soon. In the meantime, here's a sneak peek into the new AEC Armoured Command Vehicle model being created !
[h2]A new patch incoming[/h2]
Lastly, we are working on a new patch for Steel Division 2. Lifting the tip of the veil on some of the changes coming:
[h2]That’s it for this week![/h2]
We ask everyone interested to join the Steel Division 2 community on our Steam forums.

[h2]A new patch incoming[/h2]
Lastly, we are working on a new patch for Steel Division 2. Lifting the tip of the veil on some of the changes coming:
- We are addressing an issue that when destroying transport vehicles players would also kill all the passengers. This led to cheesy tactics where anti-tank rifle squads would ambush whole convoys, destroying columns of vehicles and killing dozens of passengers with a few well-placed shots. The patch will introduce a fix in which destroying a transport vehicle will kill four passengers (an entire load of a jeep, but not a larger squad) and suppress the surviving members.
- We will buff certain British armor: the Churchill’s price (including their Soviet lend-lease variant) and a speed improvement to the Cromwell (except the up-armored variants).
- We will give the Polish 2. Pancerna’s infantry tab some love, reworking the Engineer squads strength and loadouts.
- Some love will also be given to the Soviet GM Tyurina’s adding a bit more AA.
- We will nerf all mortars with the Radio trait, with these units being too overpowered.
- We will buff the price of Assault Pioneers (with flamethrower) of all nations.
- Based on player feedback since release, Nemesis: Raid on Drvar’s division slot costs will be buffed a bit.
- And more ...
