WARSHIFT 2 Is Now Available!

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

After many years of solo development, WARSHIFT 2 is now available on Steam!

Thank you all for your support, feedback, discussions, and wishlists - it truly helped make this release possible. I hope you enjoy the game and the battles ahead.

WARSHIFT 2 is also available as part of a special bundle discount for owners of the original game!

New Features In WARSHIFT 2

WARSHIFT 2 features two epic story-driven campaigns for the Cyber Legion and the Alien Enclaves, with 50 missions (including tutorials). The campaign story centers around a brutal conflict between Earth corporations and alien forces fighting for control over the resources of disputed colonial worlds and ancient artifacts. The outcome of this war between worlds will depend on the skill and strategy of Commanders on both sides of the battlefield!

New Gameplay Modes

 In the new mode, you will command an air fleet and capture floating islands, turning them into strategic resource hubs and expanding your control over the skyfront. The air fleet becomes a key element of warfare. Capturing floating islands will provide you a strategic advantage in any campaign.

New RTS Warfare with Aircraft Carriers

Command powerful Carrier Strike Groups in naval and aerial battles, projecting military force across the battlefield with new superunit classes: aircraft carriers and destroyers. The enemy's strategic AI has been given flexible settings and can operate using different tactics: offensive, defensive or balanced.

New Planet & Environment

Discover a new volcanic planet - a dark, scorched world where active volcanoes constantly release streams of lava and ash, shaping a dynamic and hazardous landscape. The surface is carved by rivers of molten magma, while gravitational anomalies caused by unstable tectonics create additional risks and tactical opportunities.

New Units & Heroes

New units have been added, featuring unique characteristics, weapon types, and battlefield roles, expanding the depth of gameplay.

New Weapons, Upgrades, Support Drones & Automated Turrets

Automatic turrets and escort drones have been added, featuring multiple weapon types and a missile interception system, providing the hero with flexible and reliable fire support. New types of weapons and hero upgrades have been added, expanding their combat capabilities. This opens up new tactics and even more impressive battle abilities.

Total rework of environment graphics & visual FX

A complete overhaul of the environment: new 3d models, shaders, rendering, dynamic lighting, enhanced landscape detail, and modern visual effects for maximum scene depth. Dynamic water with realistic physics.

New User Interface

The game now features an updated interface with a minimalist design, improved usability, full support for scaling to any screen resolution and gamepads.

Commanding Troops in Action Mode

Added the ability to command your troops directly while playing in Action Mode. You can now lead groups of units across the battlefield or call in artillery and air support at the right moment without switching back to RTS Mode.

Improvements have also been made to all aspects of gameplay, including AI, physics, and many other features.
