War Robots: Frontiers News

Hello to all our new and veteran Pilots! I’m Jennifer Cacheux-Girling, the Executive Producer for War Robots: Frontiers (you might also know me as Jen-Nausicaä on Discord). 

After a long road through Early Access, War Robots: Frontiers finally launched on PC and console on March 4. I can’t thank you enough for all your support leading up to the release, and the overwhelming response that you’ve shown us since the launch. It’s truly a joy to see players worldwide battling it out on the Wild Ten, and we’re thrilled to welcome so many new players to share in the world we’ve created together with our Early Access Pilots.

The road hasn’t been without a few bumps, though. Launch periods can be rocky, with more concurrent players bringing technical and performance issues to light that weren’t apparent in playtests. However, our teams have been on point and working around the clock to monitor your reports and fix any issues—and we’ve already deployed a few hotfixes this week. We’re actively working on new updates based on your feedback and our own analysis, too, so keep your eyes on the latest news to see what’s coming up!

As a token of our gratitude for sticking with us while we stabilize the game, we’re offering all Pilots a thank-you gift. Log in between now and March 14 to claim a 3-Day Premium Account, 20,000 Salvage, and 4,000 Credits (enough to grab some new Modules from your Daily Deals).

I know many of you had issues receiving pre-launch rewards, so we’re also issuing the Peace, Love, Robots Sticker to all players at the same time.

Next, I want to take a moment to discuss our future plans and a rough roadmap for improvement. I spoke to players earlier this week on Discord voice chat to discuss their questions and concerns about a few aspects of the game, including:

• Matchmaking
• Players quitting matches early
• The in-game economy, which items can be purchased, the emphasis on paid content, and how this may impact fairness and competitiveness in War Robots: Frontiers
• The availability of specific content in DLC bundles
• The gameplay impact and balance of Hero Pilots, and the functionality of Common Pilots
• Bundles not being purchasable with Credits
• The variety of cosmetic customization options
• Future content suggestions

Together with Vladimir “Zukata” Krasilnikov (Creative Director) and the development team, we’re putting together a plan to address your concerns. While many of these points require more time to address, I want to reassure you that your voices are heard. We’ll share more updates later this month when we’ve reviewed our analytic data and locked design, production, and deployment estimates. 

Since I know you’re curious to know more sooner, all Pilots are invited to a Q&A hosted by myself and my team on Friday, March 14 at 19:00 CET on Discord. Submit your questions here before Wednesday, March 12 at 14:00 CET and I’ll be sure to answer as many as possible live. If you can’t join, we’ll publish the highlights on the website the following week.

We want to make War Robots: Frontiers an unforgettable experience and an S-tier entry in the mech genre. Your playtime and feedback are so valuable to us, and through this, we hope to realize our vision together with you. Look out for more Producer Comms in the future, where I’ll share development updates and address hot topics from the community.

Thank you as always for your patience and understanding. If you’re playing this weekend, look out for me on the battlefield!

See you on the Wild Ten, Pilots!
