Mark your calendars, Brigadiers. Phantom Brigade 2.0 hits on November 19th as a huge FREE update!
We are so excited for you to get your hands on it! Here’s a quick summary of some of the things we’ve been working on for our 2.0 update. If you haven’t read the previous blogs going into more depth about these features, we highly recommend you give them a read through!
New pilot system that allows for in-depth buildcrafting and synergies with their mechs. This includes a new recruitment and class specialization system, expansive leveling with varied progression trees (featuring over one hundred unique traits and combat abilities), allowing players to build their own flavor of effective pilots. Players will need to balance their pilots' health and fatigue effectively by rotating out additional pilots, or otherwise risk pushing them to the brink and causing permanent trauma or even death.
Completely reimagined overworld with new provinces, varied landscapes and overhauled campaign systems. New liberation and overworld mechanics, new points of interest and events, new province modifiers, and improved mission generation provide a varied, evolving environment for players to freely drive their crawler and decide where they want to strike!
Reworked campaign provides new maps, new quests, and new combat scenarios, along with rebalanced factions ensuring the player faces varied squads with different equipment, armor and unit configurations. Players have even more reason to collect new equipment and experiment with different loadouts to take on these new threats. Streamlined tutorials and a retooled narrative ensures players can get straight into the action while those who crave more lore can discover more about the world through the in-game Codex.
A HUGE amount of community-driven quality of life updates, which include new salvage and debriefing menus, new mission previews and reward generation, reworked workshop and crafting, improved damage logic and prediction, comprehensive weapon rebalancing, subsystem reworks, and much more!
