Community members! We are happy with the reception that Community Update 3 received.
However, since we read all of our feedback, we know there were a couple of issues. Today’s mini-blog is mostly about how we fixed some of those. Other than that, we’re also ready to tease the next DLC. So how do we go about this? Keep reading!

Update

Update 1.041.0 is a follow-up to last week’s Community Update 3. It contains numerous “hot” fixes and improvements.
We have also done further work on the pathfinding, introduced new options for the ‘Last Stand’ game mode, and fixed some issues the players reported after CU3 went live.
This update also contains the result of community feedback on human models, and some other small changes. We hope you enjoy them!

Last Stand

We have added new options to the Last Stand game mode.
From now on you’ll have the option to use “test mode”, which gives players and AI endless resources.
You will also have the option to customize the total number of units players can have (CP) and when units unlock throughout the match (Unit Timer Factor) with this upgrade.
We think these changes to the Last Stand mode meet the community requests, so we expect you’ll have some fun with that!

Teaser

We have indicated in our previous blog that the first hint about the next DLC will be shown on our Discord server first. We intend to keep that promise; our Discord server is the life of the party when it comes to any comms around Call to Arms - Gates of Hell anyway.
Finding players, getting answers, you name it; everything happens on Discord first. You can click on the banner below or HERE to join.
We will drop a hint around 21:00 CEST, make sure you don’t miss it!

The future

We are developing 2 DLCs in parallel while we also work on fixing issues and introducing new QoL changes to the game, as always.
The DLC that we’ll be hinting at on Discord today will come first; that will be followed by the next faction.
The new faction is already coming together nicely, and we’ll reveal it as soon as we can. As you can see we have our hands full; and we will not stop at these projects. Our plans reach beyond 2025!
Any idea what we’ll be hinting at today? Tell us on our Discord server, or let us know in the comments!
