Hello!

We are back with a much-needed update about our upcoming
Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: South Africa DLC. We know you are longing to play our new Nation Pack, but we are still some ways off before our upcoming expansion is ready to be released.

What? Why? When?



Keep reading to find out.

A mea culpa


Game development is hard, and the way to any kind of launch is beset with roadblocks and detours. We know that some of you were hoping for a release soon - as in next week soon - or alternatively sometime in August. That is, unfortunately, not going to happen.

We still need more time with Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: South Africa. Even though unit balancing is done, as most of the unit models, there is plenty of work left. Not only that, August is a very quiet month in which everything slows down. We try to avoid releasing anything in the deepest part of the summer holidays.



There is more: next to Wargame: Red Dragon, we are also working concurrently on two new expansions for or our other popular strategy game (you might have heard about it here or there) Steel Division 2. In all fairness, we bit off more than we could chew, and coupled with the small delays that are always encountered, a post-August launch of the Nation Pack seems ever more likely. Our apologies!

An updated roadmap


When we get close to the launch, we’ll let you know. Until then, we don’t want to leave you completely empty-handed. Some new details:

  • Most models are now done. You can see new preview screens of several major units - many of them we haven’t shown previously!
  • A silver lining to the delay is that we will be able to organize a beta testing session later in the summer. We will gather dedicated players to make sure all in-game units and forces are well priced and balanced. Keep an eye out for more news!
  • Together with the new Nation Pack, we’ve also been hard at work at some general balance changes to Wargame: Red Dragon. You can find all the proposed updates in the patch log further below.

Nation Pack: South Africa in detail


In case you’ve missed it, we’ve already covered the combat arms historical context of this upcoming Nation Pack:





What will the South Africa Nation Pack bring?


Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: South Africa will feature:

  • Close to 90 new SADF units, including 20 brand-new vehicle models, as well as many new variants. All feature new Afrikaans and South African-accented English voice-overs.
  • These include the ubiquitous Casspir and Ratel APCs (in numerous variants, from IFV, recon, command, mortar, and even SAM), the Rooikat wheeled tank (including variants and prototypes), Eland (license-produced French AML), Cactus (French Crotale), the only tracked Olifant MBT, many armed variants of locally made SAMIL trucks (Ystervark and Bosvark SPAAG, Valkiri and Bateleur MLRS), to the iconic G6 Renoster self-propelled howitzer.
  • The Air Force includes old Buccaneer, Vampire and Impala as close-air support, and several French Mirage variants and the locally modified Cheetah as fighter and multirole aircraft. Furthermore, you will find the Atlas Carver prototype, the first full South African prototype plane design (which never left the drawing board).
  • Helicopters include the French Alouette III, Puma, Super Frelon and their locally produced versions and prototypes such as the K-Car, Oryx and XTP-1 Beta. You’ll also be able to deploy South Africa’s very own attack helicopter design, the badass-looking Rooivalk.
  • Infantry will include Bokkop regular riflemen, Parabat paratroopers, SASF special forces, and many more units such as militia, recon, MANPADS, engineers. You will find Portuguese-speaking Angolan UNITA squads, as well as SADF’s own 32 Battalion (the Buffalos) as a veteran light infantry formation.
  • SADF weaponry features imported or locally built R1 and R4 rifles, SS-77 and Mini-SS MG, LRAC and APILAS LAW, but also the more original HK-21, FT5, Inflict and, of course, the iconic Y2 grenade-launcher and NTW-20.




What happens next?


That’s it for today. We’ll be back at the end of August with hopefully some interesting news to share. If you want to stay in touch: check out our Eugen forums, or (Facebook page and Twitter)!
