Hello commanders!

Happy New Year from the whole Eugen team. May 2023 bring you glory and happiness on the WARNO battlefields and beyond!

While we would have loved to present to you OUDINOT update at the start of the year, to get you playing a new and improved WARNO, we need you to wait just a bit longer. As we are working on a major overhaul - as described in this DevBlog here - we want to make sure everything on the backend is peachy perfect. And that takes time.

If you are curious about all the cool new things coming to WARNO keep on reading!

What we are working on

Yes, we heard you loud and clear. You are itching for the next update to drop for WARNO, but patience is the name of the game. Next to limited manpower and some much-needed Christmas holidays - we also want to make sure we deliver the best possible version of WARNO to you. And good things take time. Patience, we promise you won’t have to wait much longer.

Now, we are both going to deliver you the official OUDINOT milestone, bringing you two new divisions. At the same time, we are working on a host of other improvements and content. These might drop sooner rather than later.

What will OUDINOT bring?



Two new divisions, including new units, focused on the Battle of Berlin (1989). These divisions come on top of the base game’s divisions, as originally advertised, and are a big Eugen thank-you to the community. These divisions will be free for all Early Access owners of WARNO and will be part of the OUDINOT milestone.

• NATO’s Berlin Command, made up of detachments of four different Allied nations, is well-suited for urban combat. New units include FV-432 RARDEN fire-support vehicle, RAF RIFLES security squads, DETACHMENT “A” Green Berets saboteurs, CHIEFTAIN Mk.10 (in their unique Berlin camouflage paint job), M198 155m towed howitzers, and French AMX-13/90 light tanks. Read more about this battlegroup in the preview here.
• Warsaw Pact’s Unternehmen Zentrum, tasked with “liberating” West Berlin with hard-hitting Soviet and East German troops. Command new units such as the elite WACHSCHÜTZEN assault squads, BM-21 (Napalm) MRLS, ZiS-3 76mm dual-purpose and ZiS-2 57mm AT gun, as well as new rocket loadouts for the Su-17 and Su-22M4, including 240mm rockets and UPK pods/80mm rockets. Read more about this mixed division in this preview here.

The above is officially part of OUDINOT milestone. There is more, though. The following improvements and additions will be made available as soon as possible.

What else can you expect?
A host of new maps. This includes:

• The new map Rock. Read more about this new battlefield in this preview here.

• New 2vs2 version of Loop.
• New Destruction mode versions of:
• Mount River
• Vertigo
• Danger Hills
• Triple Strike
• Death Row
• Cyrus
• Volcano

There is even more
Next to maps, even more changes and updates are coming to WARNO. Such as?

• The new Unit Trait system, which allows us to differentiate each unit better, giving them character and different playstyles:
• For instance, Special Forces are clearly superior to regular infantry, while Military Police keep the weaker-willed soldiers in line.

• Using this new traits system, we will soon be featuring the long-requested Snipers. They will gain extra stealth when not moving.
• The new Amphibious capacity is also treated as a unit trait.

• New destruction textures, pimping up that World War III vibe.
• A new, updated combat system, which is detailed in this DevBlog, giving more realism and increasing the importance Suppression has.
• The new Forward Operation Base (FOB), of which can be seen more in this DevBlog here (at the bottom).

• Command Vehicle updates, meaning that these special leader units won’t be required to remain in a Command Zone after capturing it.

That’s quite the list, but there is more. The following is almost finished, so we're hoping to be able to add them in the next update too … or the one after:

• Twin Cities map
• More Destruction Mode's maps
• New tutorials
• New Operations (solo missions).
