We have made a lot of changes related with items, in order to make sure we don't do silly mistakes we created PTR, our testing server.

PTR is NOT LIVE SERVER progression but has a version of your characters for testing. Progression can be reset/changed. There is no connection to live servers.

PTR will be used to keep transparency for upcoming changes and what we been working on. It also helps us deliver more stable updates to the live servers.

You can help us test AH, Trading, Guild storage and other fixes right now on PTR. We already caught few remaining issues but report anything you find in Discord

When will PTR changes go to live server?

While we have the final say, it will depend on PTR players, if most players are happy with the stability, we will push them live. Could be fast, could take a bit depending on what we find. The difference is you can check PTR on progress, we basically update it daily.

How to join PTR testing

-> Right click Spirit vale in library

-> Properties

-> Game Versions & Betas

-> Select publictest

-> Open game & join test server

We hope to have all sorted soon!

Magnum Scriptum

It is I, Mod Dutch, come to you with a message about the future of Dragonwilds. Hold on, sheath that sword, ease your bowstring and pause casting that water spell, I assure you, it is good news!

Ever since it became clear that there was high enthusiasm for a survival game set in the RuneScape franchise, we’ve been diligently planning (oftentimes cackling with glee) what comes next. Mod Rook, our intrepid Creative Director, together with Mod Raven, envisioned a satisfying wrap-up to the story of the Dragon Queen Kuldra to coincide with our game exiting Early Access, so that RuneScape and survival fans who had been holding off until this point, could experience the complete story from beginning to end.

At Jagex we look at our RuneScape titles as ongoing projects, always. They are never done, because they continuously evolve. That has been the way for twenty-five years of adventuring on Gielinor. Changes, fixes, overhauls, new content, amazing new sagas, new raids, new bosses, new quest areas – it’s a continuous flow of updates, informed by the players’ opinions and feedback. This is deeply ingrained in the DNA of Jagex.

Given that we’re always adapting our plans and figuring out the best way to get great content into the hands of our fans and potential new players, we see development of Dragonwilds as a long voyage with many epic stages, many cycles, and many sagas. It is the one big thing that thrills us so much about this being a RuneScape game – there are always more new features to develop, more homages to pay, more stories to tell.

I recently spoke about the future of Dragonwilds in the Runefest 2026 Preview Livestream. You can find it on Twitch, at the 1 hour and 28 minutes mark.

Let me reiterate here (paraphrased), what I said there, because it is easy for a message to get lost in a livestream covering multiple games:

Shipping into 1.0 is a major milestone for us because it concludes the Kuldra Saga with the players going into the Scorned Wilderness raid and defeating her.

It is the end of her story but it’s not the end of the story of Ashenfall and how it is still hidden and unknowable to the rest of Gielinor. It could be a new frontier of civilization, but its ancient magics still block that. This is where we are going to develop our story further and it is going to be a multi-year journey.

More information will be revealed closer to launch, with even more coming at Runefest in October.

In short: yes, the game world will grow in the future, yes there will be more of everything coming (skills, quests, regions, bosses, enemies, rewards), as we continue into this unexplored stretch of the Sixth Age - and beyond. 

Stay tuned for more updates.

Developing Hell Let Loose: Vietnam has meant finding the right balance between familiarity and innovation. The team’s ultimate goal was to preserve the foundations that define Hell Let Loose, including 50v50 battles, the command structure and the importance of communication, while introducing new mechanics and tactical opportunities inspired by the Vietnam War.

This approach has shaped every part of development, from the asymmetrical design of the US Forces and NVA to the introduction of helicopters, tunnels and more dynamic battlefields.

One of the greatest challenges when expanding an established franchise is introducing meaningful changes without losing what players already love. For Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, the team began by identifying the core principles that needed to remain unchanged. The game continues to centre around large-scale 50v50 battles, a structured chain of command and teamwork between Commanders, Officers and individual squads.

From there, the focus shifted towards the Vietnam War and the unique equipment, environments and tactics used by its opposing forces. Rather than creating two mirrored factions, the US Forces and NVA have been designed around different strengths and capabilities. Helicopters, tunnels, faction-specific logistics and distinct weapons all create new tactical opportunities while remaining grounded in the wider Hell Let Loose formula.

The goal is to provide an experience that feels immediately recognisable to existing players while offering a genuinely different battlefield for both returning veterans and those discovering the franchise for the first time.

Tunnels and helicopters represent the biggest changes to the traditional Hell Let Loose experience.

The NVA tunnel network introduces a new layer of strategy, allowing teams to establish routes across the battlefield and move soldiers between key positions. This changes both short-term tactical decisions and the wider strategy of an entire match, as tunnel placement and protection become central to the NVA's ability to maintain pressure.

Helicopters on the other hand provide the US Forces with an equally significant mobility advantage. Their ability to rapidly transport troops and supplies means squads can respond to threats, reinforce objectives or establish positions behind enemy lines much faster than before.

These systems are supported by smaller differences across weapons, vehicles and faction loadouts. Together, they create an asymmetrical battlefield where each side must understand and make effective use of its own capabilities.

Teamwork remains at the heart of Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, but the amount of information teams must communicate has increased. Traditional Warfare and Offensive matches continue to feature recognisable frontlines, but the arrival of helicopters and tunnels means those frontlines can change much more quickly. A helicopter can transport a squad across the battlefield in seconds, whilst tunnels can allow NVA forces to emerge from unexpected positions.

The game will also introduce new game modes with more dynamic objectives, requiring teams to move across the map and respond to changing threats rather than concentrating exclusively on a single frontline. This makes clear communication throughout the command structure even more important. Squads must quickly identify enemy movement, relay information and coordinate their response as the battle develops around them.

It is also one of the reasons communication remains limited to each force (NVA and U.S), rather than being able to hear the enemy as well. Players already need to process a significant amount of information from their own squad and command channels, and adding enemy communication would create further distractions while increasing opportunities for disruptive behaviour.

As with any game, several ideas were tested during development before the team decided whether they supported the intended experience.

One early experiment allowed soldiers to climb trees. Although a functional prototype was created, the team concluded that it encouraged players to remain hidden for long periods rather than actively contributing to the wider battle. Combined with the natural concealment already provided by Vietnam's dense vegetation, tree climbing risked creating frustrating encounters and was ultimately removed.

The team aimed to test new ideas as early as possible, allowing them to quickly establish whether a mechanic supports the core gameplay. However, because Hell Let Loose: Vietnam was developed by a focused team with an ambitious two-year production schedule, features getting added also needed to be carefully prioritised. However, not every feature left out of the launch version of Hell Let Loose: Vietnam has been permanently abandoned. Some ideas require additional development time, whilst others may become more suitable as the game evolves after release.

The team already has an extensive list of mechanics and improvements it would like to explore, and the game’s live-service model provides an opportunity to revisit them, alongside entirely new features shaped by player feedback.

A recurring discussion from within the community is whether the developers do or do not regularly play Hell Let Loose, and we can confirm that the team do indeed play both Hell Let Loose and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam.

Alongside joining the community in public matches, they also run full 100-player internal playtests of both games take place at least once or twice a week. This allows them to evaluate balance, map flow, stability and the interaction between different gameplay systems. These sessions are essential due to the size and complexity of the game. Every map includes numerous objectives, routes, vehicles and tactical possibilities, all of which need to be evaluated under realistic conditions.

However, internal playtesting can only provide part of the picture, and members of the community are vital to demonstrate the different approaches to the game, bringing different skill levels, strategies and playstyles, enabling the team to discover tactics that would be difficult to reproduce solely within a development environment, and why community feedback is so valuable.

The asymmetrical nature of the two factions means strategies will continue evolving as the community spends more time with the game. The team will closely monitor those developments and make further balancing adjustments where required.

Although Hell Let Loose and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam have dedicated development teams, both groups work together closely within Expression Games.

Developers are primarily assigned to one project, but knowledge, feedback and technology are regularly shared between them. Designers discuss gameplay systems across both games, support each other's playtests and explore whether successful features from one title could benefit the other.

Some team members also contribute directly to both projects. This includes historical support from Matt White, whose research helps ensure the equipment, environments and wider presentation remain authentic to each conflict. Technical developers may also move between projects when additional support is required.

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam was rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5 using the original Hell Let Loose codebase as its foundation. This helped the team preserve the familiar feel of the franchise while upgrading its underlying technology and introducing new features. During development, this occasionally resulted in temporary World War II assets appearing in Vietnam. Some players may remember spotting a World War II aircraft during the Open Beta. This was a development placeholder rather than an intended part of the final experience and has since been replaced.

The shared foundation allows both teams to learn from one another while continuing to develop their respective games as distinct experiences.

Not every moment during development has gone according to plan, and several unusual bugs have become memorable stories within the studio. One particularly dramatic issue caused a helicopter pilot to grow to an enormous size after falling from the aircraft. The character model became larger than Thanh Hóa Bridge, with every player in the session able to see the giant soldier dominating the skyline.

Before the final helicopter model was available, the team also needed a temporary vehicle to test its flight systems. This resulted in a fully functional flying World War II jeep being used as the earliest helicopter prototype.

Although neither example reflects the final game, these temporary assets and unexpected bugs are a natural part of development. They allow the team to test important systems before final animations, models and visual effects are complete.

Alongside the returning Warfare and Offensive modes, Hell Let Loose: Vietnam will introduce Conquest and Domination.

Conquest has previously been tested in Hell Let Loose, but Vietnam's tunnels, helicopters and asymmetrical factions significantly change how it plays. These systems create new opportunities for movement and reinforcement as teams compete across multiple areas of the battlefield.

Domination provides an even more free-form experience, featuring dynamic objectives and battles that can develop in every direction. Without a single clearly defined frontline, teams must communicate effectively, move quickly and respond to threats across the entire map. Domination is the game's most chaotic and demanding mode, and the team are particularly interested to see how the community approaches it after launch.

While players experienced Thanh Hóa Bridge during the Open Beta and may recognise Vạn Tường from the tutorials, several full-scale launch maps have yet to be shown in detail. These maps introduce a range of distinctive environments, including bamboo forests, industrial interiors, fog-covered terrain and more open landscapes.

Quảng Ngãi includes areas with limited visibility and grounded fog, creating a very different atmosphere from the Open Beta environment. Other locations feature industrial spaces, docks and areas inspired by the outskirts of Huế.

The game's desert environment provides another significant contrast, with open terrain and different tactical considerations for infantry and vehicles.

Together, these maps demonstrate the variety the team wants to deliver at launch, moving beyond the dense jungle environment commonly associated with the Vietnam War.

When rebuilding the game's online infrastructure, one of the team's priorities was providing the same core online experience across PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S.

Players will be able to form parties and play together regardless of their chosen platform. However, the team also understands that not everyone wants to participate in full cross-platform matches, particularly when considering the differences between mouse and keyboard and controller input. Both players and community server owners will therefore have control over their preferred experience.

Server owners will be able to configure which platforms can access their servers, including full crossplay, PC-only or console-only options. Players will also be able to filter their search based on whether they want to join cross-platform matches.

Community-run servers will remain an important part of Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, with server owners able to create the environment that best suits their players.

The launch of the game represents the beginning of the team's plans for Hell Let Loose: Vietnam. Alongside additional maps, weapons, vehicles and uniforms, the developers want to introduce systems that evolve the core experience and give players new reasons to revisit existing content.

While several ideas remain exploratory rather than confirmed additions, they provide an early look at the areas the team is interested in developing throughout the game's live service.

Additional uniforms and helmets inspired by the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps are already planned for an update after launch. The Australian uniform features a distinctive silhouette, including the iconic Australian military slouch hat and equipment appropriate to the period.

The team are keen to this show this content directly, and more information and visual previews will be shared when they are ready to reveal it.

The Vietnam War involved forces from several nations, creating many possibilities for future uniforms, equipment and factions. The team is considering opportunities to represent additional Australian and New Zealand forces, alongside the Army of the Republic of Vietnam, South Korean forces and others involved in the conflict.

The team want community feedback to help determine which forces should be prioritised, and whilst historical research provides a wide range of possibilities, the order in which they are developed will be influenced by what players are most interested in experiencing.

Attack helicopters are one of the vehicle types the team is most interested in adding after launch. However, introducing a powerful vehicle to one faction creates significant balancing considerations. The team need to ensure the NVA receives suitable equipment or tactical options to counter that advantage.

Unlike World War II, where opposing factions often had comparable categories of vehicles, Vietnam's asymmetrical design means balance cannot always be achieved by providing each faction with an equivalent vehicle. While attack helicopters are highly likely to be explored, their implementation will need to support the strengths and identity of both sides.

Armoured personnel carriers are another major area of interest for the development team. Many vehicles used during the Vietnam War were amphibious, allowing them to travel across both land and water. Introducing these vehicles could create new tactical opportunities, particularly on future maps featuring larger waterways, islands or coastal environments.

The team is also interested in expanding the role of smaller vehicles such as jeeps. Rather than serving exclusively as transport, these vehicles could support additional equipment or functions, including mounted weapons and potentially spotlights designed for future night-time environments.

As with every new vehicle, the aim is not simply to increase the amount of content available, and each addition should introduce a meaningful gameplay opportunity and complement the maps on which it appears.

Weather forms an important part of the atmosphere and identity of each battlefield, and some environmental changes are already present. During a match on Thanh Hóa Bridge, for example, the position and lighting of the sun gradually change as the battle progresses.

However, the team prefers carefully orchestrated environmental experiences rather than applying a generic day-and-night or weather system to every map. Lighting, weather, audio and visibility are designed together to support the intended mood and gameplay of each location.

A rain system was functional during development, but it did not reach the quality expected for launch and was postponed. The team has a roadmap for bringing weather back in the future, with monsoon conditions forming an important part of that ambition. Rather than functioning as a purely visual effect, heavy rain could significantly reduce visibility and change how players approach a battle. Snipers may need to relocate, vehicle routes could become more important and squads may be forced to adjust their tactics as conditions change.

The same philosophy applies to future night-time environments. Instead of simply darkening an existing map, the team wants to develop supporting mechanics such as flares, floodlights and changing visibility conditions.

The goal is to create memorable environmental events that meaningfully affect gameplay rather than providing minor visual variations of existing maps.

The team is also exploring ways to remix existing battlefields through more substantial environmental changes. Seasonal vegetation, tidal systems and changing water levels could alter how players and vehicles move through familiar areas. A dried-out riverbed might create a new route for tanks, while deeper water could increase the importance of boats and infantry movement.

The team's procedural vegetation technology also creates opportunities to significantly change the density and height of foliage. An area containing short elephant grass in one version of a map could feature much taller vegetation in another, transforming sightlines, concealment and available routes.

These ideas remain exploratory, but they demonstrate how future variants could offer more than a different time of day. The intention would be to change the strategy, atmosphere and flow of a map while building upon an environment players already know.

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam will introduce Battalions, an in-game system designed to provide greater support for clans and organised communities. Battalions will allow players to form persistent groups, track statistics, progress together, unlock content and join servers with other members. They are intended to provide a central hub around which communities can organise their players.

The system has already been in development for several months, but the team decided it required additional work before it could meet expectations. It is therefore planned for release after launch rather than being included on day one.

The first version will provide a strong foundation, but the developers want Battalions to continue evolving in response to community feedback. Because the feature is designed specifically for players and organised groups, their needs will play a major role in determining how it develops.

The team is actively exploring the addition of licensed music from the Vietnam War era, and early internal tests allowed a helicopter co-pilot to switch on a radio, broadcasting music from the aircraft as it travelled across the battlefield. This created a powerful and distinctive atmosphere, particularly when players could hear an approaching helicopter through its music before seeing the aircraft itself.

Discussions with music rights holders are currently taking place. However, licensed tracks cannot be confirmed until the necessary agreements have been completed. Should licensed music be introduced, the game will also include appropriate options for content creators and streamers. Players would be able to disable protected music locally, helping them avoid copyright claims, demonetisation or restrictions on uploaded content.

The team remains hopeful that era-appropriate music can become part of the game, but further details will only be shared once licensing arrangements are finalised.

Planning for the Hell Let Loose: Vietnam live service is already well underway. Developing post-launch content requires work to begin far in advance, meaning the team is already discussing and producing updates that will arrive beyond release.

The current plan is to provide an early teaser around launch, followed by a more detailed roadmap reveal shortly afterwards. Final timing remains subject to the development and approval process, and confirmed dates will be shared through the official Hell Let Loose channels.

The roadmap will provide a clearer picture of the team's plans for future maps, weapons, vehicles, features and technical updates.

Expanding the selection of maps, weapons, vehicles and factions will remain an important part of the game's live service, but the team's ambitions go beyond adding more content. The primary goal is to continue evolving the core gameplay.

New systems such as weather could affect both future and existing maps, giving players new reasons to return to familiar battlefields. Other features may change how communities organise, how vehicles are used or how matches unfold across different environments.

The developers want each major update to make the game feel more refined, polished and responsive. Performance, stability and quality-of-life improvements will continue alongside new content throughout the game's life.

The technology used to gather crash information and diagnose online issues has also been expanded, allowing the team to identify edge cases and respond more effectively when problems arise.

Community feedback will remain central to this process. Players may identify options, settings and quality-of-life improvements that were not prioritised for launch, and the team intends to introduce those changes where they can meaningfully improve the experience.

A live-service game cannot remain static. As the community develops new strategies and expectations, Hell Let Loose: Vietnam will continue evolving alongside it.

For Studio Technical Director Kieran D'Archambaud, one of the most exciting developments is the game's cross-platform online infrastructure and the ability for players to join their friends regardless of platform, as well as the improvements made to helicopters and server performance since the Open Beta. A server-side issue previously caused regular desynchronisation under heavy load, making player and vehicle movement feel less responsive, particularly while flying. This issue has now been addressed, providing a much smoother experience.

For Senior Art Director Ryan Howard, the most rewarding part will be seeing the stories that emerge naturally from each battle. These could include a squad reinforcing an objective at the last moment, a Commander turning the course of a match or a player rescuing teammates from an unexpected attack.

For Game Director Paul Rustchynsky it’s also about the unscripted moments created when players combine the maps, weapons, vehicles and tactical systems in ways the developers could never completely predict.

These experiences are at the heart of Hell Let Loose. The team provides the battlefield and its tools, but it is the decisions made by players that create the stories remembered and shared long after a match has ended.

That wraps up Part 2 of our Hell Let Loose: Vietnam Developer Q&A.

A huge thank you once again to everyone who submitted questions across Reddit, Discord and through our War Correspondents. While it wasn't possible to answer every question across these two videos, the team will continue sharing more updates as we approach launch and throughout the game's live service.

From cross-platform play and new modes, to future vehicles, weather and Battalions, the upcoming launch represents only the beginning of the team's plans for Hell Let Loose: Vietnam.

Community feedback will continue to shape the priorities that follow, helping determine which battlefields, forces, features and improvements are introduced next.

As always, thank you for your continued support.

We'll see you in Vietnam.

Hey Civ fans, welcome back to This Month in Civ! 

Summer marches along, as does our team, hard at work on the newest additions to Civilization VII! Although this is a bit of a quieter month as we gear up for some major announcements later this year, there is nonetheless some cool stuff to recap. We capped off the Brush and Blade Collection by launching a new leader, the famed admiral Yi Sun-sin, alongside new civilizations in Goryeo and Joseon.* We also released Update 1.4.2, which saw the introduction of some cool new ways to negotiate Peace Deals, more clarity and depth for Leader Agendas and Relationships, the return of individual Victory settings, and some new buffs to everyone’s favorite World Renouncer, Ashoka.

Without further ado, let’s dive in!

In June, we launched Update 1.4.1, which introduced the highly requested Hotseat multiplayer mode, a new Archipelago map, and a rework to Governments, Celebrations, and Happiness. 

Most recently, with Update 1.4.2, we went back to some of Civ VII’s fundamental Diplomacy systems to give them some development TLC. We expanded Peace Deals, so you can negotiate more creatively by offering Gold and Influence, in addition to trading Settlements. We’re also making some changes to the UI to make this system more intuitive. You’ll find that the Peace Deal screen appears more colorful and compact, and you can now dismiss a Peace Deal temporarily to survey the map before making a wise negotiation!

This patch also brings updates to Leader Relationships that allow you to have a better grasp on where you stand with your rivals—whether friend or foe! The Leader Relationship panel now displays which Leader initiated an event that changed your relationship (for example, which of the two started an Endeavor), and we’re adding new, unique messages for each Leader when their Agenda causes a significant change in your relationship. Lastly, you can now Reconcile with Unfriendly leaders before things turn Hostile.

There’s more! We’re bringing back the ability to turn on and off individual Victories, now compatible with Test of Time’s Victory overhaul. And to help spotlight our Happiness system rework from a previous update, we’re buffing Ashoka, World Renouncer! Give him a shot and lead your empire to victory!

There’s more to dig into, so if you want to read about all of the new features coming in this update, make sure to check out our Game Update Notes page.

This July, we also launched Part 2 of the Brush and Blade Collection*. After exploring Antiquity and Exploration Age Japan in Part 1, we’re taking a deep dive into the Korean history books in Part 2! If you already bought the collection last month, Part 2 content has automatically been added to your account. Otherwise, you can purchase and access the complete Brush and Blade Collection today.

Carrying the banner is new leader Yi Sun-sin, alongside two new civs, Goryeo and Joseon. Yi Sun-sin, a Militaristic and Cultural leader, is a master of naval combat. His Unique Ability, Samdo Sugun Tongjesa, allows you to train Fleet Commanders as early as the Antiquity Age, and provides Science and Gold bonuses for using your Naval Units and Fleet Commanders wisely.

Behind The Relic: First Guardian is a small, passionate core team of around a dozen who have spent six years bringing this project to life.

Following today’s launch, the team has been hard at work behind the scenes to ensure the best possible experience for every player in Arsilthus.

Here is an update directly from the developers at Project Cloud Games:

"As a small, passionate team of developers, we are extremely proud of our first game, The Relic: First Guardian. Since its launch, we have been working round the clock to improve the game, with our current focus fully on fixing technical issues and performance. We have already released two patches, but we are not stopping there. The next patch is due to be released later this evening."

The team is fully committed not just to immediate fixes, but to long-term polish, balancing, and support driven by your feedback:

"We are dedicated to ensuring that our work on The Relic: First Guardian will not stop at performance and technical fixes. We will continue listening to the media, content creators, and, most importantly, the public, with all of us at Project Cloud Games supporting every aspect of the title in the weeks and months ahead.

This is just the start of our journey, and we are incredibly grateful for all the support we have been shown so far. You have our time, dedication, determination, and word that we will continue to do everything in our power to be worthy of that support."

• Patches 1 & 2 Live: Immediate fixes have already been pushed to address initial stability and critical bugs.

• Patch 3 Incoming Tonight: Our next major stability and performance patch will go live later today.

• Active Monitoring: We are actively reading the Steam Discussion boards, reviews, and bug reports to prioritise our next round of updates.

We are fully committed to earning your trust and making The Relic: First Guardian the game it should be. Thank you for your honesty and your patience.

We want to do what we can to make the experience more enjoyable for everyone today and also give you a heads-up about more changes we have coming in the Fall update.

Decreased Infestations Boss Health

We are lightly decreasing boss HP. With this change we expect that the fights won’t feel as sluggish for most players while still allowing the boss to live long enough for more people to join in the fun and get rewarded for it.

Clear Out the Enemies Meta Objective

When the Fall update releases, you will have to find and kill Infestations enemies to summon the boss. This change works in conjunction with the HP decrease above.

Updating Rewards

We’re planning a small refresh to the reward pool, including increases in ammo drops, guaranteeing legendary items from mobs, and a chance for the boss to drop mod boxes.

Infestation Smoke Visual

We’ll be swapping out the green circle on the map and replacing it with a new smoke visual to indicate where an Infestation is in a more world accurate way.

QOL: Infestations Visibility Setting and Free Fast Travel

If you’ve had your fill of Infestations, we’re adding a setting that allows you to turn off notifications as well as the visual overlays. Fast traveling to teammates already in an Infestation will become free as well.

Thank you all for your feedback on this feature! Community feedback continues to be the guiding light for the team, and we’re excited to continue developing this Appalachian Wasteland alongside you all for years to come.

Месяц назад мы предложили вам попробовать асимметричный режим «Наступление». Отзывы оказались весьма тёплыми: игроки были рады испытать себя в необычном формате боёв и потребовали добавки. Рады услужить: режим «Наступление» возвращается снова — с более высокими Боевыми рейтингами по вашим просьбам!

Мы также внесли изменения в распределение стран по командам для улучшения баланса. Попробуйте обновлённое «Наступление» — и делитесь мнениями!

• Событие проходит в режиме РБ на локациях «Порт Новороссийск», «Линия Мажино» и «Волоколамск».

• Каждая точка в момент активации принадлежит обороняющейся команде.

• Точки активируются последовательно по одной: после захвата атакующими текущей точки, активируется следующая за ней.

• Точки захвата чередуются по своему функционалу: A, C и E (ключевые) — небольшого размера, но захватываются долго; B и D (промежуточные) полностью покрывают прошлую зону возрождения защитников, поэтому их размер намного больше ключевых, но их захват происходит существенно быстрее. После захвата промежуточной точки нападающим становится доступна новая точка возрождения для атаки на следующую ключевую точку, предыдущая точка возрождения при этом отключается.

• Захват последней ключевой точки (E) или уничтожение всех защитников приводит к победе нападающих.

• Удержание точек в течение времени миссии или уничтожение всех атакующих игроков приводит к победе команды защитников.

• Количество возрождений каждого игрока ограничено и различно для команд защитников и атакующих.

• Максимальное количество игроков в командах не одинаково.

• Возрождение на наземной технике в режиме РБ не требует Очков возрождения, но возрождение на авиации — требует.

• Доступны повторные возрождения, не требующие наличия дублёра на технике.

• Событие доступно для наземной техники с Боевым рейтингом 9.7–10.7.

We’d like to thank everyone for their feedback and participation in the previous Advance mode test, the feedback was overall positive, you wanted more, and we’re happy to oblige! This time we’re back with a higher BR range, as requested.

We’ve also made some changes to the nation matchups to improve balance, so, please give the updated Advance mode a try and share your thoughts!

• The event takes place in Realistic Battles mode on the Port Novorossiysk, Maginot Line and Volokolamsk maps.

• Each point belongs to the defending team at the time of activation.

• The points are activated sequentially, one at a time. After the attackers capture the current point, the next one is activated.

• The capture points alternate in their functionality: A, C, and E (key points) are small in size but take a long time to capture; B and D (intermediate points) completely cover the defenders' previous spawn zone, making them much larger in size than the key points, but they are captured significantly faster. After capturing an intermediate point, a new spawn point becomes available for the attacking team to attack the next key point, while the previous spawn point is disabled.

• Capturing the last key point (E) or eliminating all defenders results in victory for the attackers.

• Holding the points for the duration of the mission or eliminating all attacking players results in victory for the defending team.

• The number of spawns per player is limited and differs between the defending and attacking teams.

• The maximum number of players per team is not the same.

• Spawning in ground vehicles in Realistic Battles does not require Spawn Points, however spawning in aircraft does.

• Repeated spawns are available, without requiring a backup vehicle.

• The event is available for ground vehicles with Battle Ratings between 9.7 and 10.7.

This update brings another round of optimisations, bug fixes, and performance improvements based on community feedback.

Thank you for your continued support and feedback - we're dedicated to making The Relic: First Guardian the absolute best experience it can be.

Since the launch of Arena Breakout: Infinite, combating cheating has remained one of our team's highest priorities. We know that only a fair and competitive environment can ensure a great experience for every Operator.

After extensive development and testing, we are officially announcing an important security upgrade to all Operators: DMA Guard.

DMA Guard: System-Level Memory Protection

As our fight against DMA hacks continues, we have adopted dynamic encryption at the engine level to strengthen data protection. At the system level, we have also combined CPU virtualization with the DMA Guard solution to block DMA cheating at its source and force cheaters to leave detectable and verifiable cheating evidence.

DMA Guard is now supported across both Intel and AMD platforms, helping maintain a secure and fair environment for all players.

About DMA Guard & How to Enable It

This feature is primarily designed for accounts with unusual login environments or potential security risks. Enabling DMA Guard helps prevent your account from being exploited by cheaters and enhances your account's security.

DMA Guard relies on built-in Windows security features. These protections are already enabled by default on most systems and will not impact your device's performance or compromise your privacy.

DMA Guard is currently in active development and testing. We expect it to launch with the version update in August. The exact date will be announced later. Before launch, we will publish detailed system configuration instructions to help every Operator enable this protection successfully.

B.D.C. will continue investing in anti-cheat technologies and security infrastructure. Our goal remains unchanged: every battle in Kamona should be decided by your skill and tactics, not by unauthorized third-party tools.

Thank you to every Operator who fights fairly. Every fair match you play is worth every effort we make to protect it.

If you encounter any issues while playing, please contact us using the following methods:

We've been gathering community feedback and actively addressing your concerns.

Once Human Development Team

First, we would like to sincerely thank everyone who has been playing our game since the launch of Early Access and who took the time to share honest feedback through Steam reviews.

We are reading the reviews you have left, and the development team is currently working out which items to prioritize.
Today, we would like to share where we stand and how we plan to improve on the feedback we have heard most often since Early Access began.

\[Feedback on the Service Environment]

1. Improvements to Service Regions and Environment
Sudden Attack Zero Point launched with servers in a limited number of regions,

and because we are still in the early days of Early Access, we are building out our server infrastructure in stages so that the matchmaking pool does not become too thinly spread.

The development team is currently preparing to open a Europe server as well, and we will do our best to provide a better server environment as quickly as we can.

Once these improvements are confirmed, we will share the specific schedule in a separate announcement.

2. The Absence of a Custom Match System

We fully share the view that playing the maps and modes of your choice with people you know, and gathering together as a clan or a community, has been an important part of what makes the Sudden Attack series fun.

With that in mind, we are working to introduce a Custom Match system — one that lets players create their own room and set the map, mode, number of players, and more — in Season 2.

\[Feedback on the Play Experience]

1. Ghost Walk
In Dev Note #12, we explained the reasoning behind removing ghost walk, but since Early Access began, many of you have continued to tell us how much you miss having that movement available.

That said, we consider that ghost walk created too large a gap in combat performance depending on player skill, and that it was never an intended feature. For now, we have no plans to restore it in its original form.

Instead, we will keep looking for other ways to make up for the feel of the controls that longtime players have grown used to.

2. Weapon Balance

We are analyzing weapon performance in detail based on the actual gameplay data accumulated since Early Access began,

and to prevent any single weapon from becoming overly dominant and to ensure that players can compete on fair terms regardless of their weapon choice, we will continue to adjust weapon balance.

3. Concerns About Pay to Win

In Sudden Attack Zero Point, the grade of a part skin indicates its rarity and nothing more; there is no difference in performance or stats based on grade.

Additional options are likewise designed to stay within a range that does not determine the outcome of combat, and through Mastery Crates you can obtain parts with the very same options without spending SP or Key Cards.

We will continue monitoring part option balance throughout live service, and should we determine that anything has too much influence on combat outcomes, we will make adjustments.

4. Feel of the Controls
We have received a great deal of feedback about the feel of the controls, and based on what you have told us, we are planning improvements item by item.

· Hit registration: We believe network compensation may be making some hit registration feel off. We will review the shape of the hitboxes together with the server-side registration logic.

· Sniper rifle handling: We have seen some feedback that sniping feels different without quickscope.

As explained in Dev Note #12, support for it depends on the scope part.

Scope QS supports quickscope (a zoom with no animation), while Scope FS provides a faster weapon swap.

If you equip a part that supports quickscope, you will find the handling closer to that of the original game. We will keep refining the overall feel of the controls going forward.

\[Feedback on Stability and Content]

1. Bugs and Client Issues
We have received some reports from players who were unable to get into the game at all during startup or loading.
We are treating these issues as our highest priority and are fixing them in order, beginning with the ones we have been able to reproduce. If you run into a problem, please report it to Support with a detailed description of the situation and your PC specifications, and we will review it as a priority.

2. Limited Content
The development team is aware that the number of modes and maps and the variety of weapons are limited in Early Access, and we understand that this can make the play experience feel repetitive.

With that in mind, we are preparing a range of maps and weapons, including the Vampire Mode that so many of you asked for, and we will keep adding more over time. We hope you will look forward to the content in future updates.

3. Concerns About Abnormal Play
On the anti-cheat side, we are advancing the detection systems currently in place, and we are also preparing to strengthen our detection logic for abnormal play and to improve the reporting feature.

Anti-cheat is also running at all times, and we regularly detect and take action against players using unauthorized programs. We believe a fair competitive environment is fundamental to any FPS, so we will continue to respond without compromise.

We see Early Access as a process of completing the game together with you.
We humbly accept the criticism you have given us where we have fallen short of your expectations,

and we will look at the feedback you send us and prove ourselves through real improvements, one at a time.
We will continue to share our development progress with you on a regular basis.

Thank you.

2 августа 1966 года лётчик‑испытатель Владимир Ильюшин впервые поднял в воздух прототип истребителя-бомбардировщика Су-17 — первого в СССР самолёта с изменяемой стреловидностью крыла. Всего было произведено более 2800 единиц самолёта, включая экспортные модификации Су-20 и Су-22.

С 31 июля (12:00 UTC+3) до 3 августа (12:00 UTC+3) ударный самолёт Su-22M4 WTD61 (Германия, VII ранг) можно приобрести со скидкой 30% за 6615 Золотых орлов.

Самолёт возвращается в продажу и будет доступен после окончания акции за полную цену в 9450 Золотых орлов.

Су-22М4 поставлялись в ГДР в середине 1980-х, и часть из них после объединения Германии попала в Военно-технический испытательный центр бундесвера по авиационной технике (WTD 61). Эта версия Su-22M4 отличается от обычной уникальным камуфляжем. Su-22M4, как и его советский аналог Су-17М4, имеет хорошие ЛТХ, несёт большое количество средств противодействия, но при этом имеет доступ к ещё более широкому ассортименту подвесного вооружения, в числе которого УРВП с ТВ-наведением Х-29Т и всеракурсные УРВВ Р-60МК.

We have identified and taken disciplinary action against players who used unauthorized third-party programs that disrupt fair gameplay.

As part of our continuous effort to maintain a healthy and secure game environment, the A.V.A Global Operations Team strictly enforces our Code of Conduct and End User License Agreement (EULA).

Any use of external software, modifications, or tools that alter game data or provide unfair advantages is strictly prohibited.

> Permanent game access restriction

As previously announced, we have taken disciplinary measures against accounts linked to those that engaged in misconduct.

Please note that we have completed both the first and second internal analyses of the relevant logs, and adjustments have been made to the related areas.

If you would like to confirm the related measures, please contact us via email and we will assist you.

> Mercenary with 30-day game access restriction for the first offense of macro usage

Detection Criteria: Detection of hardware memory macro usage and abnormal in-game click graph logs

With the May 26 update, a system has been implemented to identify abnormal click patterns.

A.V.A Global does not recommend gameplay where firing speed is controlled via mechanical assistance rather than human intervention, and prioritizes fair play.

I will explain the in-game click graph log.

This graph generates real-time data regarding fire button clicks.

It shows the interval between the first and second shots based on the number of times the fire button is pressed per second.

In other words, if you press the fire button continuously at a rapid speed, that speed is displayed on the click graph.

If you hold down the fire button for more than one second, the graph will not be displayed.

This graph is designed to identify and detect patterns of rapidly clicking the fire button at a consistent speed. If a continuous pattern impossible for a human to perform is detected, it serves as grounds for suspecting and analyzing the use of macros.

Generally, the fire rate graph log moves in accordance with the flow of motion when the character presses the fire button.

The behavior may vary depending on the weapon handling style.

If you execute shots through continuous clicking, there will be more instances where the graph is drawn.

For 3- or 5-shot burst styles or full burst fire styles, no graph will be drawn.

Given our game style, it is clear that firearms operated through rapid fire button clicks are appealing.

However, we believe that macro functions create an unfair environment for players striving to master this play style.

Even for professional-level players, such continuous movements are extremely difficult.

The indiscriminate use of mechanical aids, such as macros, is considered an unfair practice, so please refrain from such behavior.

We would like to warn you once again that regarding macros—that is, mechanical aids—this includes cases where settings are configured via hard memory through mouse software.

Accordingly, if abnormal click speeds are maintained or a persistent pattern is detected in the graph, gameplay may be restricted in accordance with our operational policy.

Furthermore, if logs are detected indicating that macro functions were enabled using mouse capabilities,

it will be processed under the same standards as macro usage.

The restriction policy is as follows:

1. 1st offense - 30-day game access restriction

2. 2nd offense - 90-day game access restriction

3. 3rd offense - Permanent game access restriction

Our operations team will thoroughly verify and review reported matters before proceeding with processing. If no violation is detected:

*However, this applies to physical functions equipped with macro capabilities.

If abnormal macro software is used, a permanent game access restriction will be applied upon the first detection due to the restriction on cheat program usage.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in maintaining a fair and competitive environment.

We will continue our monitoring and enforcement efforts to ensure fair and enjoyable gameplay for all players.

Thank you.

Sincerely.

On August 2nd 1966, test pilot Vladimir Ilyushin made the first flight of the Su-17 fighter-bomber prototype. This was the USSR’s first aircraft with variable-sweep wings. In total, more than 2,800 units were produced, including the Su-20 and Su-22 export variants.

When: From July 31st (09:00 GMT) until August 3rd (09:00 GMT).

Where: Germany > Aviation > Premium vehicles.

• The Su-22M4 WTD61 is returning as a GE premium, and will be available after the promotion ends at the full price of 9450 Golden Eagles.

About this aircraft

• Su-22M4s were delivered to East Germany in the mid-1980s, and following German reunification, some of them were transferred to the Bundeswehr’s military-technical test center for aviation (WTD61). This version of the Su-22M4 is distinguished from the standard model by its unique camouflage. Like its Soviet counterpart, the Su-17M4, the Su-22M4 boasts strong flight performance and carries an extensive array of countermeasures; however, it also has access to an even wider range of external weaponry, including TV-guided Kh-29T air-to-surface missiles and all-aspect R-60MK air-to-air missiles.

Greetings, Captains.
This is StarSavior Director Lee Sungwon.

This is our first greeting since the Summer Developer Talk broadcast.
The next Dev Notes were originally being prepared with a target release around mid-August.
However, because we wanted to share news with Captains a little more often and a little more quickly, we are first reaching out through a new format called \[Mini Dev Notes].

Rather than covering a large number of topics at once like the regular Dev Notes, we would like to use Mini Dev Notes as a channel to share matters that need to be announced quickly or the general direction of content currently in preparation at an earlier stage.

We will continue making use of this Mini Dev Notes so that we can deliver even a little more of the information Captains may be curious about as quickly as possible.

Today, we would like to talk about matters related to the August update.

Details regarding the Main Story and events will be shared separately through the official Dev Notes at a later date. In this Mini Dev Notes, we would like to focus on other content currently in preparation and QoL improvements.

In the previous update, we adjusted the Combat Power calculation formula and increased the stat growth efficiency of Tactical Analysis.
However, even after these improvements, we believe there are still sections in the Savior growth process where the sense of progress is not sufficient. Therefore, we are preparing additional improvements to address this.

As mentioned during the broadcast, the growth effects of Saviors through Star Link Amplification are scheduled to be enhanced in the August 20 update.

The goal of this improvement is to allow Captains to feel the results of growth more clearly in battle by adjusting Star Link Amplification so that stats increase significantly at certain amplification milestones.

As with the previous improvements to the Combat Power calculation formula and Tactical Analysis, this adjustment will also be applied retroactively based on the current growth status of Captains who already have Star Links above Lv. 200. As a result, Combat Power is expected to increase further after the update.

In line with these growth improvements, we are also planning to expand Operations and Corridors in the August 27 update.

Our goal is to continue expanding them on a regular basis so that they can continue providing Captains with new objectives as they grow.

However, if the pace of expansion is too fast, it may become burdensome to play. Therefore, we will continue monitoring Captains’ progress through the content and adjust the expansion schedule accordingly.

Currently, even when there is a large difference between the recommended Combat Power for a battle and your current Combat Power, it is always displayed simply as “Insufficient Combat Power.”

We recognize that this makes it difficult to intuitively gauge how difficult a battle is, or how much stronger you need to become before taking it on.

To improve this experience, we plan to divide the difficulty display into multiple stages based on the Combat Power difference, with the goal of implementing this improvement in the August 20 update as well.

In StarSavior, when your current Combat Power is lower than the recommended Combat Power, stat downscaling is applied once the difference exceeds certain thresholds.

Therefore, this difficulty display improvement is designed not only to indicate the difficulty of the battle, but also to make it easier to identify the thresholds where the effects of stat downscaling become more significant.

Through this update, we hope to provide a reference point that helps Captains decide how much Combat Power they should aim for before challenging the current battle, or when to make use of the Operation Retry Boost.

Rather than simply feeling that their Combat Power is “not enough”, we want to help Captains better understand their current growth status and plan their next goals more clearly.

A new currency, \[Faded Invitation], that can be used for Journeys is scheduled to be added in the August 20 update.

By using Faded Invitations, Captains will be able to proceed with a Journey without consuming Journey Invitations or Willpower. However, Journeys completed using Faded Invitations will not grant clear rewards, and can instead be used to create a Stellar Archive.

We are also preparing to allow Faded Invitations to be used for reobserving Blessings after a Journey ends, and the number of times Reobserve Blessings can be used is also scheduled to be increased alongside this change.

Faded Invitation will automatically replenish by a set amount each day. Through this, even when Captains do not have enough Journey Invitations or Willpower, Captains will be able to proceed with a certain number of Journeys each day to obtain Stellar Archives or reobserve Blessings.

In addition to its automatic daily recharge, we plan to continue adding more ways to obtain Faded Invitations in the future.

Faded Invitations are designed to be used only when Captains choose to do so. If you would like to use your existing Journey Invitations first, or if you already have enough Invitations, you do not need to use Faded Invitations.

Alongside this update, the small amount of Gold that was previously provided when deleting a Stellar Archive will be removed. Please keep this in mind.

Stage 3 of the Overload Cube was newly opened through the July 30 update.
We hope Captains will enjoy playing it.

Overload Cube is content with great potential for further development. Therefore, rather than leaving it in its current form, we are preparing additional expansions so that Captains can enjoy it in more varied ways.

We expect that strategies and research for the current Overload Cube will continue. However, due to its core design, we believe there is a possibility that efficient setups and strategies may become somewhat standardized.

To address this, we are expanding the system in a direction where each Captain can create and develop their own combination of Replica Codes.

Our goal is to provide an experience where Captains can challenge the Overload Cube in their own way by using the Replica Code combinations they have built and the Saviors they have grown, rather than simply following fixed Replica Codes and established strategies.

We are preparing the expanded system as quickly as possible, with the goal of introducing it in time for the next three-week event. We will make sure it delivers an experience that is clearly more evolved than the current version. We are also working together to move the schedule forward as much as possible, so we hope you will look forward to the expanded Overload Cube as well.

Currently, Challenge of the Stars in Cosmo Gate is structured so that Captains select the restrictions they want from the given list and apply them before entering.

However, we believe that the process of selecting restrictions significantly reduces the intuitiveness of the gameplay.

Captains with relatively less play experience may have difficulty deciding which restrictions to select, while Captains with more experience tend to settle into selecting roughly the same set of restrictions. As a result, we determined that the current method mainly adds unnecessary decision-making for Captains with less play experience. As such, Challenge of the Stars EX is scheduled to change from the existing restriction selection method to a simpler stage-based method.

In this structure, the boss’s ATK, HP, and DEF will increase in higher stages, and additional restrictions will also be applied starting from certain stages.

We also determined that this stage-based method better aligns with the new growth direction we are currently adjusting for Saviors. We are preparing it in a form where Captains can challenge higher stages as they grow and feel the difference more intuitively.

This change will not be applied to Flash Point, and is scheduled to be introduced during the Prism Season for Cosmo Gate.

Even after the change, we are adjusting the content so that the difficulty players experience within the existing score ranges remains as close as possible to what it is now. We will prepare it carefully and present it in an improved form.

We hope you will show interest in the updated Challenge of the Stars EX as well. We will continue to carefully review the feedback you send us and refine it so that it can grow into a high-quality game mode.

In addition, we are preparing several convenience improvements for the August 20 update.

First, as mentioned during the broadcast, the Arcana Lending feature will be expanded so that Captains can borrow Arcana set by guild members as well as friends when starting a Journey.

For gear, a new Gear Score will be displayed so that Captains can quickly check the overall state of its substats. This will make it easier to compare and evaluate gear based on its substat composition.

In Ranked Matches, we plan to add a feature that allows Captains to move to the Lobby and freely use other menus even while matchmaking is in progress.

The skip result screen for Strategy Battles will also be improved. After skipping a battle, the remaining HP of both you and your opponent will be displayed.

In addition, we are also making several smaller improvements that may feel inconvenient during gameplay. We hope you will look forward to the August update as well.

Finally, there is one more matter we would like to share.
This concerns the Apocalypse Support Pass.

The current Apocalypse Support Pass has already undergone one round of improvements. The biggest change was the removal of the Arcana Selection Box for Naru, Vera, and Annah, which was replaced with newly added profile items.

The usage rate of this Apocalypse Support Pass itself has been higher than before. However, we have received a great deal of feedback that removing one of the guaranteed ways of new and beginner Captains to obtain Arcana has made it more difficult for them to begin their Journeys. In the process of revising the Pass composition, we did not fully consider the impact these Arcana had on new and beginner Captains with their Journeys. This was my mistake. I failed to properly consider the overall play experience.

Therefore, starting with the next Apocalypse Support Pass, we plan to keep the previously provided Arcana Selection Box instead of removing it. In addition, we plan to expand the selection of Arcana that can be obtained from the Selection Box. Of course, all Captains who purchased the current Apocalypse Support Pass will also receive the updated Arcana Selection Box retroactively.

The list of Arcana included in the new Selection Box will be announced through next Thursday’s patch notes, so please refer to those notes for more details.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by this change. Going forward, when making decisions or implementing changes, we will not base our judgments solely on specific metrics or segments. Instead, we will examine more carefully how they may affect Captains at different stages of progression.

That concludes the content currently in development. In addition to the matters discussed in this Mini Dev Notes, we are also preparing several other items, and we will share and present them sequentially through the regular Dev Notes once they have been organized into more concrete forms.

Next week, the Observation for Sunshine Cat: Smile, which many Captains have been waiting for, will begin, and Hunt Quest will also be expanded. In addition, some negative events within Journeys will be rebalanced, and minor Journey improvements will be made, such as reducing the chance of obtaining an Exhibit with the same number as one you have already acquired. We hope you will show interest in this update as well.

Take care, and we’ll see you again in our next regular Dev Notes.
Thank you.
