The Pacific Front - Guadalcanal Public Playtest

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Attention Recruits!

We’re excited to announce the first public playtest of our brand-new map: Guadalcanal! This is your chance to see the jungles of Guadalcanal and experience the newest battleground coming to Squad 44 and the Pacific Theater.


Due to our need to fill 100-player servers, we will open 1 server each for North America and Europe and will look to open more as needed over the weekend. More information on the start time and how to join will be below!

Please Note: This is our first public playtest of Guadalcanal and it is still heavily Work-In-Progress. Factions are not fully set up, and players may run into some issues during gameplay. We highly suggest joining the Squad 44 Community Discord as we will be opening Bug Report and Feedback threads from the players!

Information

Start Time


Friday May 30th, 11:00 AM Pacific Time

End Time


Monday, June 2nd, 11:00 AM Pacific Time

How To Enter


The Guadalcanal Playtest takes place on the Squad 44 - Public Testing App. Players trying to use the regular Squad 44 app WILL NOT find any servers for the new map. This is an entirely different app you have to download on Steam. Players will not have to do anything else besides launching the new app and joining during the playtest time to find servers in the browser. If you cannot locate it in your library, go to the top of Steam, click on “View”, and then “Hidden Games”.

We hope to see you recruits this weekend playtesting the newest addition coming to Squad 44! Below, we've included some additional pictures we've shared previously of what you can expect with the map and content coming to the game!
