Troopers, Assemble!

Today, as part of the RTS-Fest celebration, we have released a major update for the Territory Mode Open Beta. This includes balance changes, new features, new gameplay mechanics and new Territory Maps.

Open Beta Update

The Open Beta has been live for three weeks, and we’ve received invaluable feedback—thank you to all participants!

A detailed roadmap is coming soon, but for now, expect monthly updates with more maps, technologies, battle groups, and gameplay improvements. Your feedback is essential as we refine gameplay, balance, and technical stability. Keep it coming!

For those who need a quick recap: Territory Mode is a new game mode specifically designed for replayability. You fight the Arachnids over Territory Points on maps specifically crafted for Territory Mode. These points reward the player with the necessary resources required to purchase units, replace casualties and invest in new technologies.

Main menu update

To support and present the new Territory Mode and all of its content, the main menu has been updated with a new content overview menu. This screen provides easy access to all content - Campaigns, Territory Mode and Challenge Missions - from the base game and the current and future DLCs.

New Territory Maps

Today’s update adds three new Territory Maps, doubling the amount that was previously available. This new set includes the first two maps that are exclusive to DLC owners.

• Runway Rage: The Arachnids have overrun this air base, leaving many TAC Fighters stranded on the runway.
  This map is available for free as part of the base game.
• Hotbed: We’ve established your base on top of a volcano to show the Bugs that we are not afraid!
  This map requires the Raising Hell DLC

• Party Crash: Evict the Bugs from the narrow streets, rooftops and metro stations of Mahanagar's nightlife district.
  This map requires the Urban Onslaught DLC
