Before proceeding with the other news, we would like to inform you about the currently ongoing Steam Awards where you can nominate your favourite games! We are doing a very hard work and we plan to keep up with it for the next year, so if you like the new campaigns, the constant improvements, the upcoming AI rework, the console releases and everything we are working on, we would appreciate so much to get your nomination!
We are a bit late with this, but finally we prepared the new Roadmap! Last roadmap was full of plans and we managed to complete everything except for the animations rework and the XBox version; We did complete 100% the FPS animations, but we will need just a few more months to finalize the TPS animations, while for the XBox we managed to obtain the developers kit only a few weeks ago; But apart from this, everything else in the roadmap have been 100% completed, so now we prepared a new Roadmap for the first half of next year, and you can read it here! The roadmap doesn't contain everything we are going to add to the game, but just the most important features. Probably the biggest challange and the most interesting new for the early 2024, is the complete AI reowork! We have a dedicated channel on our Discord group where we are collecting all the suggestions about how the new AI should work!
Recently we announced a free complete rework of the Kos campaign. We will make complelty new buildings, revisit the entire map and remake the missions for the campaign. Old buildings will not be removed from the game (and so from the workshop missions), but just swapped with new and fresh buildings on the Kos map. Here's some of the modular city buildings we are making:
We're continuously enhancing the game by incorporating new and reworked third-person shooter (TPS) animations on a weekly basis. If you'd like to stay in the loop on our upcoming animation improvements, you can find a detailed list on our Discord server.
We are making huge progresses with the XBox release, we just finalized implementing the input system for the XBox version, and we can confirm that the XBox version will be playable both with gamepad or Keyboard! We are now working to make the multiplayer system working with XBox and we are ready to submit the build to Microsoft.
Soon we will start the submission process with Nintendo to bring all the updates up to this very version on the Nintendo switch. The console will also get other improvements like new dedicated settings to customize the gyro settings even more!
We released the Normandy Campaign earlier this summer after working on it for over 9 months. We are very happy with the positive reception that it has received. Thank you to everyone who has played it! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2317930/Easy_Red_2_Normandy/ [previewyoutube=6lBxH8Hq2PA;full][/previewyoutube]
In case you didn't know we have defined a precise roadmap for the next months of development and you can read it here. We keep improving all features of the base game and as always we will be going on listening to suggestions from people inside the Steam Discussions and the Discord server. The updates for the base game we are constantly releasing are very expansive, so if you are interested on giving us a hand to make a better work, this is our Patreon. All the money raised from this will be spent to make a better game. Thank you all, Marco

- Easy Red 2 LINUX [2.48 G]
Easy Red 2 is the game for who knows what he wants from a World War 2 Game: Simulation in weapons and movements, historical accuracy in battles, huge maps with a lot of deployed units, vehicles dominating the battlefields and a realistic combat approach.
In this new version of Easy red we wrote everything from scratch to reach quality in game mechanics, and optimization to manage a new great looking design running even on low end machines.
And we are taking you in Italy, from the shores of Anzio, to the bombed peaks of Montecassino, and in Japan in the middle of the Battle for Kwajalein.
And we are ready to add more battles in the future.

And we are ready to add more battles in the future.
- Simulation and immersivity
That's what we want for Easy Red 2. We try to let the player feel all the emotions that soldiers live in the confusion and adrenaline of a battlefield. Explosions, devastation, orders, shot fires will be all around the player, that will be rewarded by the game not for his number of kills, but for his strategic and survival skills. - Large battles and historical locations
All campaign will take place in large Open-World maps that reproduces the real places of the fights, and battles plans are faithful to the events that have historically occurred. However, the player won't only be challenged from surviving the fighting, but could have to follow definite orders that could change the sort of the entire mission. - Squad based gameplay
No one can go to war alone; A good tactic require a good team work.
So be the squad leader, or the medic, or maybe the radioman: You will always have a job to do inside your squad.
We especially focused on creating sub-objectives that differs from main mission objectives. While the main objective of a team may be to have to conquer a specific area, a sub-objective could be assigned following the radio requests of a tank to clear its way from an anti-tank gun that has been sighted. So gameplay has radically improved in a more realistic and dynamic way. - Vehicles
War machines have changed the war forever, and World War 2 proved that in an unequivocal way, so Prepare to jump in you Panzer 4, Sherman, M3 lee, or any tank that dominated the real battles fought in the game.
We decided to let the player have a full control of the crew of the vehicles; He will be able to drive and shoot tanks, as long as there are crew members on the seats to use each armament. Also battles doesn't stop when a tank is disabled. Lot of tank crews in World War 2 had time to escape from unusable tanks and survive the battles, and so it will in Easy Red 2: If you lost your tank in a fight you will need to bring safely your crew back to your lines. - Devastation
Explosions, will destroy sandbags, walls, fences, vehicles, defenses, and the battlefield could radically change during all the fight.
Also, enemy fire will constantly suppress you and your squad. Learn how to move safely in a real combat scenario, and keep your helmet on your head. - Optimizations
We want a smooth war simulation, so we designed our own graphic style to bring great animations, textures and effects, with the compromise of having a high and stable Frame-Rate. This means that many more units and vehicles will be able to appear on the screen, contributing to the immersion of the fight.
