All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello Commanders!

We are thrilled to announce that the first multiplayer playtests for Systemic War will launch on August 15th 2026 on Windows PC! This playtest will focus on our real-time tactical combat, allowing you to test your strategic skills in direct PvP engagements. Here is what you can expect:

  • Command Modern Units: Take control of advanced, realistic military forces from modern armor and mechanized infantry to cutting-edge drones and electronic warfare

  • Fight for Focal Points: Clash with other players at real-world locations. Every engagement takes place on detailed maps accurately recreated on a 1:1 scale, where capturing real-world bridges, cities, and choke points directly influences the larger strategic conflict

  • Test Your Tactical Wits: Experience fast-paced RTS combat where positioning, unit composition, and quick decision-making determine who controls the battlefield

This is our very first public multiplayer test, so expect things to be rough around the edges - you will definitely encounter bugs and some connection hiccups. Your participation is vital, as it will provide us with the crucial technical data and player feedback needed to shape the future of this mode.

Don't miss out on the action-secure your spot and add the game to your Wishlist today!

Get your strategies ready. We’ll see you on the battlefield on August 15!
