British loadouts now includes over 80 different clothing pieces.[/p][p][/p][h2]South Tunisia coming soon![/h2][p]Southern Tunisia is very close to nearing completion, with what's seeming to be 14 brand new missions. [/p][p]Here's what to expect:[/p]

• [p]Gafsa Airfield Raid by US Paratroopers in November 1942[/p]
• [p]Operation Frühlingswind and the battles of Faid Pass, Sidi-Bou-Zid, and Kasserine Pass--known as one of the most major losses by the United States in World War 2.[/p]
• [p]German stalemates at Sbiba Gap, Tebessa and Thala[/p]
• [p]English/Commonwealth advance on the Mareth Line in the South[/p]
• [p]Final phase of the battle of El Guettar where American forces retake the valley region.[/p]
• [p]Final German defense at the Tebaga Gap in April 1943 (leading to the events of the Northern Tunisia campaign)[/p]

[p]There are multiple tank-focused battles, featuring the involvement of many different factions! The allies featuring those seen previously in North Tunisia such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, but now accompanying them are New Zealander forces, Indian forces, and Gurkha forces, much like we saw in the Battle of Monte Cassino released a couple months back. With the heavy involvement of Italy in southern Tunisian operations, this brings the grand total of factions involved in this campaign to 8! [/p][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p]To distinguish it from the currently existing Tunisia North, we are likely to release it as its own campaign-- likely titled "Southern Tunisia Operations", with the northern campaign renamed to "Northern Tunisia Operations". [/p][p][/p][p]Southern Tunisia is coming next update, and PC beta users can expect it in the coming weeks for testing! We sincerely hope you'll enjoy it. [/p][p][/p][h2]Hungary DLC Progress[/h2][p]What would a Hungarian DLC be without the Hungarian Army?[/p][p]A wide range of uniforms, weapons, vehicles, and voice acting is currently being produced for the upcoming Hungary DLC, introducing the new Hungarian faction.[/p][p]Here is a very early sneak peek at what is currently being worked on. As always, we aim to be as historically accurate as we can with our uniforms. We are aware that this early showcase still contains a few elements that need adjustment to achieve a truly authentic representation of the Hungarian Army, but we are excited to share the progress made so far and hope you enjoy.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]As announced we have plenty late war weapons and vehicles being worked on for the Hungary DLC. Here's some of the ones recently finalized, of course with multiple camo variations:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We are also working on the Romanian Army. Below is a work-in-progress look at their uniform and loadout.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]In addition, significant progress is being made on buildings, props, and map development. Later, we will get to weapons and even more vehicles. We will be showing more on everything in the coming months... stay tuned![/p][p] [/p][h2]Letter from Corvostudio: Easy Red 2 in 2025[/h2][p]2025 marked a huge year for Easy Red 2.

[h3]Hello again, Easy Red 2 army![/h3][p]It's that time of year again—the time of year where we share our newest roadmap, laying out the planned path ahead for Easy Red 2 from late 2025 to mid-late 2026.[/p][p]As you know, this year we practically re-made most of the game to be bigger and better than ever, and unfortunately because of that we missed out on Southern Tunisia this go-around. Don't worry, it's still coming![/p][p]As always, going into 2026 we're looking to make the game even bigger and even better than ever! [/p][p][/p][h2]New roadmap:[/h2][p]Starting from today, here's what we plan to work on![/p][p] [/p][h2]✨ Major Planned New Features ✨[/h2]

• [p]South Tunisia: Mareth Line and Kasserine Pass[/p]
• [p]1944/45 Hungarian DLC: Siege of Budapest and Operation Spring Awakening[/p]
• [p]We are considering other free additional maps for some time in 2026, including the Battle of Iwo Jima and Battles of Khalkhin Gol. [/p]
• [p]Deployable MGs onto carried tripods and deployable portable mortars (such as Japanese knee mortar)[/p]
• [p]Reconstruct broken sandbags and other defensive props[/p]
• [p]New Eastern Europe buildings coming to Stalingrad DLC[/p]
• [p]New vehicles and weapons for base game[/p]
• [p]Major reworks on many old vehicles and weapons[/p]
• [p]Multi-charge artillery system for modular artillery range and trajectory[/p]
• [p]New patch/insignia system for more accurate iconography on uniforms[/p]
• [p]Automatic cinematic camera system for nice shots and battle spectating[/p]
• [p]Infrared night vision technology for Panther and other sights[/p]

[p] [/p][h2]🔧 Major Planned Improvements 🔧[/h2]

• [p]More map editor quality features to simplify prop placing, finding, and automatized behaviors.[/p]
• [p]Possibility to switch between scope and sights without removing scopes (where accurate)[/p]
• [p]Continuing adding and upgrading weapons, vehicles, sounds and animations[/p]

[p] [/p][h2]🌍 Upcoming Campaigns 🌍[/h2][p] [/p][h3]Hungary Campaign[/h3][h3]Early 2026, Mid 2026[/h3][p]We are finally ready to announce the next DLC![/p][p]Our goal with this expansion is to bring new factions, many new weapons, and above all, a lineup of late-war vehicles to play on one of the bloodiest battles that Europe has ever seen![/p][p][/p][h3]The Battle of Hungary offers a great, unique setting for this criteria.[/h3][p]It features two factions totally new to Easy Red: Hungary alongside Germany, and Romania alongside the Soviet Union (after switching sides in 1944).[/p][p]It also potentially includes a wide variety of authentic unique weapons such as the Mannlicher rifles, Mauser VZ.24, Danuvia submachine guns, Steyr-Solothurn MG30, PPS-42/43 and much more.[/p][p]You’ll also see powerful late-war vehicles like the late war Panther variants, Tiger II, Zrínyi II, late war T-34 and T34/85, IS-2 and more — including rare wartime technology such as infrared night vision on Panther tanks, one of the most advanced innovations of the era. Here's a WIP photo of the Panther rework currently underway, along with the night vision system! [/p][p][/p][h3]One Of Europe's Bloodiest City Battles[/h3][p]The DLC will include key operations such as the Siege of Budapest, Operation Konrad, and Operation Spring Awakening, offering a mix of rural, urban, and suburban combat during the final months of the war in Europe.[/p][p]Operation Spring Awakening is known as the last major offensive launched by the Third Reich during World War II, a final effort by German forces to halt the Soviet advance through Hungary. [/p][carousel][/carousel][p][/p][p]More information to come in the coming weeks and months on our official discord server.[/p][p][/p][h3]Southern Tunisia — Late 2025, Early 2026[/h3][p]While Northern Tunisia and the "Run for Tunis" would mark the end of Axis forces in North Africa, Southern Tunisia and the Mareth Line would be a very important stepping stone on the way, being a heavily fortified position that Axis forces used to try and halt the Allied advance after their retreat from El Alamein. [/p][p]Just northwest of the Mareth Line lay the Atlas mountains, holding Kasserine and Kasserine pass. It is here in which occurred the first major engagement between American and German ground forces in WWII, and one of the largest losses for western allied forces early in the war. The rugged mountains of Kasserine and the surrounding area will prove in stark contrast to the wide open dunes of Mareth. Expect large tank battles over huge spaces, with a mix of both allies and axis on the defense! Also likely to come with this will be the British Crusader tank. The release of Southern Tunisia should be a great cap-off to the North African theater we plan to represent in base-game Easy Red 2, and we hope you'll love it too![/p][p][/p][p]The Southern Tunisia campaign is likely to release at the very beginning of 2026 if not the final weeks of 2025.[/p][p][/p][h2]🔄 Ongoing Upgrades Across the Whole Game[/h2][p]While the roadmap highlights our biggest goals, a huge part of our daily development is the constant improvement of existing content.
Throughout 2025 and 2026, we’ll continue upgrading weapons, vehicles, uniforms, gear and historical details across all factions.[/p][p]Right now we're already working on a large batch of improvements—here’s a small preview:[/p]

• [p]A full range of new and reworked British vests and equipment, improving historical accuracy and visual detail.
  [/p]
• [p]A lineup of the new updated Soviet T-34, including new variants, models, textures, and functional improvements. [/p]

[p]These upgrades will roll out steadily with our regular updates, just like you've seen over the past years. Our goal is to make every single piece of equipment in Easy Red 2 feel authentic, polished, and satisfying to use.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]🔍 A Note from the Team 🔍[/h2][p][/p][p]This roadmap only outlines the major features and changes coming in the next several months.[/p][p]As always, we'll be working on smaller updates, bug fixes, and polishing regularly—just like we have for the past five years with monthly public updates. You can view our full history of changelogs here. [/p][p][/p][p]We owe our continued success to you, our dedicated community. Your feedback and suggestions have been invaluable, and your enthusiasm for Easy Red 2 motivates us to keep pushing the game forward. Thank you for spreading the word and being part of this journey. [/p][p][/p][p]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, Reddit and the Discord server. [/p][p][/p][p]Stay tuned, and see you on the battlefield! [/p][p]Marco and the Easy Red 2 Team[/p]
