- Major Development Update & New Public Server Slam - 27 August 2026
Major Development Update & Public Server Slam It has been a while since our last development update here on Steam.During this period, most of our smaller development updates, screenshots and testing announcements were shared through Discord, while the team remained deeply focused on development and closed testing.The relative silence here was not caused by development slowing down. Quite the opposite.Since wrapping up our previous public playtests, we have been working on a fundamental overhaul of Glory to the Heroes based on feedback from players and our own experience with the previous builds. A large part of this work involved rebuilding existing systems rather than simply adding more content on top of them.Movement, character health, inventory, equipment, weapons, ballistics, game modes, networking, rendering, AI, progression and several maps have all undergone major changes.Much of…
- The public PvP stress test is wrapping up! - 7 April 2026
The public PvP stress test is wrapping up! We are grateful to all the players and supporters for their participation and feedback. More than 40,000 troops landed in the Canal of winter Chasiv Yar so far during the playtest - a lot of ground firefights, hundreds of bombs dropped, thousands of gun jams occurred, and even more bugs identified. This was our first experience hosting a public multiplayer PvP game mode, and the playtest completed its goal - we managed to fix most of the critical issues on both game and online infrastructure, and the public playtest is wrapping up in its originally envisioned state (latest public patch). More than 50 bugs and issues of different scale were fixed during the playtest. This was a pivotal achievement for us on the way to the upcoming early access launch that was not possible without real player scale. Some of fixed issues: Adressed issues with inst…
