Next update The next update will be smaller update with the focus on improving some areas of the game by adding some new features and improving existing features. There will also be new content available. You can find the roadmap here. In addition to that, there is a new website available, which shows all commits to the development version, so that you always know which feature is currently being worked on. You can find it here: AW3 Commits Also, there are plans to create a discord server for the game, if you guys want to. There are more updates for the workshop planned and I think discord is a good platform for discussions about workshop objects and the general development of the game, because there are more features and it's easier to discuss about things on Discord. So, just let me know what you think about that.

Ancient Warfare 3 is a complete redevelopment of the second part to improve the experience from the core of the game. Dive into a huge sandbox full of action and customization! Choose from different gamemodes like Deathmatch, Reach point, conquest, king of the hill, zombie mode, arsenal and more. Download level bundles to play small campaigns or create you own scenarios in the custom battle editor. Choose your rules, change the environment, place units, objects or traps, choose your equipment or just relax and spectate a battle.

Explore the content from all kind of eras like stone age, high cultures, medieval ages, WWI, WWII and compare them to modern and future weapons or just recreate some historic battles.

Your player can use a very advanced and mixed equipment which will allow a dynamic combat. Use a sword to cut your enemies into pieces, a baton to punch them down, guns or bows to shoot at them, or an rpg to blow them up. Protect yourself with a shield and wear armor to get some protection for different kind of weapons. To support you and your mates, you can carry different grenades, medipacks or ammo supplies.

Much content is already in game and there are still much more gamemodes, units, weapons and equipment planned. Until then, you can test the 300+ units in game with 150+ equipment objects and place 43 different objects.

This is an early version of the game and many things will change until the completion of the game. The system specs are provisionally and may change at any time.
