Broken Arrow News

Greetings,

We know many from the Broken Arrow community have been eagerly waiting for news on the game. We originally planned for a 2024 release but we regretfully had to take the decision to move the release of the game to 2025. We know this will disappoint many of you, and we're sorry that the game won't be releasing this year as intended, but we felt it was necessary.

This decision is motivated by our desire to fully meet our community’s expectations, to ensure that Broken Arrow is the best game of its kind and that it provides a flawless experience to its players.

The game has a huge potential and a very large following. In order to be certain that the multiplayer is stable and running smoothly for everyone and that the game is optimized for the largest array of hardware configurations we needed to run more extensive testing and iterate on improving the code efficiency. We don’t want to underestimate any potential issue and we’d rather wait than risk letting anyone down on day one.

The development team has been hard at work and we can’t wait to show you what is new for the game. Our next steps will be a new multiplayer Open Beta: we are going to make the game available to play for everyone on November 12. Throughout the whole month of October you can expect weekly dev diaries which will show you all the news and showcase the content available in the beta: new units, new specializations, new maps and new features.

Last but not least, we’re currently planning to have an important reveal of Broken Arrow in December, which would also be the occasion for a very special announcement everyone is waiting for…

We promise your patience will be rewarded. We think we have an amazing game on our hands and we are certain that you won’t be disappointed.

Yours,
Slitherine & Steel Balalaika

Last but not least, we know many of you are waiting for news about the new round of Open Beta. We promise we'll let you know when it's going to happen before the end of the month, so stay tuned.

[h2]We are opening the sign-ups for the new Broken Arrow Beta.
[/h2]
We are excited to announce that sign-ups for the new Broken Arrow Beta are now open.

This beta will focus exclusively on the single player story campaign, aimed at gathering comprehensive feedback on the missions.

Any kind of bug you encounter we would like to hear about it, and we would like to hear your thoughts on difficulty, balance, AI, atmosphere, story… everything.

Please note that we’re not planning to accept all applicants. Unlike our multiplayer beta, we will be selecting a limited number of testers. This means that applying does not guarantee selection.

We’re targeting the end of July for the start of the beta. You can apply here.

Important: this will be a closed beta, which means that all testers who are accepted will be under NDA, and under no circumstances they will be allowed to divulge information about the content in the beta outside of the dedicated private channels. The same goes towards Twitch and YouTube: you’re not allowed to stream or make videos and post them. Similarly, you won’t be allowed to capture screenshots and post them. Moreover, you won’t be allowed to post your own thoughts about the beta in public. The NDA will also last indefinitely. Any NDA breach will result in a permanent ban for the offender. Don’t test us: we -will- find out.

[h2]Show us how thrilled you are![/h2]

Alongside your beta application, we would like to see how committed and eager you are to play the Beta. You can increase your chances of being selected for the beta if you’ll take part in this little contest: show us your excitement in a video, upload it on www.wetransfer.com or any other preferred transfer platform and send us the link at [email protected] alongside the username you used for applying to the beta.

The video can be anything you want as long as it shows your enthusiasm for Broken Arrow, so feel free to be creative and even a bit foolish.

Remember: you can be picked only if you also have applied to the beta. Unless you go through the application process we cannot select you. You will have time until July 30 to make your submission. Please note that we won’t pick testers on a “first come first served” method, so there is no need to rush in.
