Community members! In our previous development update, showing part of the US units for the “Liberation” DLC, we promised we’d show you some of the German units as well, so that’s what this blog is about. We also want to show you some of the specifically German buildings and landscapes and we’ll talk about the release planning for “Liberation”.

German units

The German part of “Liberation” consists of a number of things. In the single player campaign, for instance, we follow the 3rd Fallschirmjäger Division and the 116th Panzer division. If you trace back what these units did and where they fought, you’ll see that they both were in the thick of the fighting from Normandy right until the end of the war.
That means we need more than the units themselves; we need French, Belgian and German landscapes and buildings as well.
Maybe you noticed we have revealed a good number of summer & autumn landscapes last week; there are several German landscapes and towns in there. Let’s have a closer look at some of the buildings:

There will be many buildings, of which these are the most specific “German” ones.
On another note, you will need some specific weapons when fighting for the German units in “Festung Europa”, as our German single player campaign will be called. Whether you’re fighting as a paratrooper or as a panzer commander, you will need artillery support every now and then. This calls for some iconic units to be present in this DLC, and they will be. Let’s have a look at some of these:

Besides these, some new tank hunters will be introduced. None of these fought on the Western front exclusively, however they were not present in “Ostfront” or any of the previous DLCs. Check out these vehicles, do you know which ones they are?

Some of the new German units will be added for free, some will not. We will announce which ones these will be at a later stage. The paid German units (the “Liberation” exclusive ones) will be part of a doctrine for the existing German faction.

Planning release

We are going flat out at the moment and progress is very good. The release of Liberation gets closer every day! As we have stated before, and as you can see on the Liberation store page, we will release the Liberation DLC before 2023 ends.
The roadmap on our website used to mention that we planned to release in Q3 of 2023, and this has gotten many people excited assuming it would be coming in September. It also contains a statement which tells you it’s subject to change. It is our tool to let you know our broad plans. We have updated the roadmap to reflect the reality we are predicting for release in 2023. If anyone asks you, tell them to follow our development updates for official predictions.

Have you wishlisted Liberation yet? Do it today, there’s no risk involved, other than the chance you might get addicted to it after release:

Metagame

To make the wait a bit easier, we will be entertaining the community with something completely different. We released our very first title in 2021, and if you were already part of our community back then, you may remember we played a meta game before the release of “Ostfront”.
We love playing games and so, we are currently lining up the next metagame for you!
Once more, we will launch a quiz that tests your knowledge of world war 2 and the Liberation DLC. The 5 high scorers of this metagame will receive a free key to “Liberation”!
This new metagame will take place on our Discord server, starting Sunday, October 1st.
We will be asking you to answer a number of multiple choice questions, with a new question appearing every weekend. So make sure you are there; click HERE to join, if you haven’t already!
