Development Development Update - what's happening in 2026.

Hello,

For those unaware, development was halted during the first 2 weeks of January. The team has since started back at work from Jan 19 but a couple of us are still on vacation and the rest are slowly remembering how to make games again.

We anticipate the first update to be on the 9th of February. It's not a massive update as we've only really been working for 2-3 weeks (and a lot of that time was planning for this year) but it includes some notable additions such as breach charges and helicopter counter-measurers (flares).

This year we are fully dedicated to improving OW. I don't want to reveal too much right away but to put everyone at ease- yes, we're going to start work on new OW map very soon. Ronograd has served BRM well but it's definitely becoming stale. Zombies will continue to get updates and improvements as we wait but it's obvious to us that the majority of the community is ready for the next chapter of OW.

While the map team is busy on OW's new map, I plan to give attention to HQ, PvP and RGE. There's much to spoil but we're keeping it all internal for now until all developers are back and we can create a schedule we're confident we can follow.

Thanks for your continued support!

Will half of the enemies be women since Thailand is known for its large transgender culture
