Community members, we have some news to share and an announcement to make! We have exciting plans for the near future, and this blog reveals what will happen in the next couple of days and weeks.

Update

Before we talk about adding content, let’s take a look at what comes first. In the coming days we will be pushing another game update; it contains some new units, a number of fixes and improvements, balancing changes, and optimization.
You’ll always find us working on fixes in parallel with the development of new content, as the two are rather unrelated. As always we will list all the changes in a detailed changelog, which will be posted when the update drops. Stay tuned!

Scorched Earth

We are proud to announce the next DLC for Call to Arms - Gates of Hell. It’s called “Scorched Earth” and it will be available soon!
During the development of Ostfront we were quite aware that it was impossible to tell the whole story of the Eastern Front in the initial release, due to the sheer amount of battles and the length of the conflict. However, our work in building the eastern front did not finish on release, we kept working to recreate more of the battlegrounds that defined the brutal eastern front. We released a lot of new units, maps and missions for free in three separate content updates, but some of the longer and more costly work has been kept in storage for this good occasion.

Scorched Earth consists of a mass of singleplayer and multiplayer content. There are new assets, vehicles, units, maps and missions, you name it. The singleplayer missions will expand the original German and USSR campaigns. The new multiplayer content will make its way through new doctrines available for Germany and the USSR. All in all, it adds a ton of new content to complete the bigger picture of the eastern front, the most vast and brutal theater of operations of WWII.

Integration

The integration of Scorched Earth will be like the Talvisota integration. That means DLC owners get access to its contents - units, missions and doctrines. Players who don’t own the DLC can always play alongside or against the new units in PvP/PvE. In the future, we will maintain these principles. As you may know, we’re developing the next faction in parallel - which is going to be a huge package as well - and we intend to integrate that along the same lines, when the time comes.

Testing

Scorched Earth testing has started. That means the finish line is already in sight, but there’s quite a bit to be done still. We’ll keep you posted on progress; we don’t have a date for release yet but we’ll tell you more in one of our next updates.
As a matter of fact, we are currently recruiting new testers. If you want to see the DLC early, be sure to sign up as a tester on our Discord server! You can find the form in the #developer-telegraph channel.
