Plans 2025

New Tier 3 Heroes

Leviathan and Solaris are about to face new challengers. These formidable heroes will revolutionize the battlefield beyond recognition! The Confederation will be strengthened by the mighty Atlas, armed with dual cannons capable of dealing devastating damage to ground forces. Additionally, its anti-aircraft setup will enable it to shoot down not only fighters but bombers as well!

The Resistance will also receive reinforcements. The heavily armored Tesla tank, Bison, can incinerate any nearby foe and disable an energy field of the Shield!

Spectator Mode for Training

With this feature, you can watch real-time player battles and host custom tournaments. Remember the streamer battle? Now, you can view the entire field, not just through the eyes of individual players.

In later updates, the spectator interface will also be available in replays, allowing you to see all players' actions without the fog of war, as well as the current resource situation and boost usage.

Plus, we plan to start hosting official tournaments, and with the spectator mode, we'll be able to comment live on the top Art of War 3 players' battles!

Unit Modifications

Modifications alter unit parameters and appearances, giving you a fresh gameplay experience. For instance, the Hammer's "Sniper" modification increases attack range and damage against type 2 and 3 armor but reduces fire rate and tank durability. This allows for more strategic unit combinations. You can select modifications in the Workshop before the battle begins.

New Events

Last year, we launched the "Syndicate Code" event. In 2025, you can expect even more events! Details on what they entail and when they occur will be revealed very soon!

Workshop Redesign

The new Workshop design will be more user-friendly and visually appealing. It will include modifications and display additional unit characteristics, like the Chameleon's fog of war radius, the reduction of damage when the field of Shield is active expressed as a percentage, or the number of bombs dropped by Thor and Albatross.

New Tournaments and Blitz Tournaments

The level design department promises to introduce exciting new Tournaments and Blitz Tournaments next year. For instance, a naval blitz where everyone competes individually on a four-player map, or the "Scorching Sea" tournament, where each player fights alongside two AI-controlled allies. More reliable partners await—start building your fleet, commanders!

There's also a plan to convert most of the 1x1 Blitz Tournaments into a Free-For-All (FFA) format. For example, you can already check out the new "Supply Crisis" where three players play.

New Maps

We plan to add several new maps. Additionally, we aim to enhance the old maps graphically to match the quality of the autumn settings, particularly improving textures and detail.

News Window Redesign

We will continue to improve old screens, with the news section up next. News will become visually more appealing and will also support direct buttons to multiple social networks. Prefer YouTube videos? Welcome! More comfortable with other sources? No problem! We are always ready for them!

Blitz Tournaments Added to Blitz Ratings

Tournaments will be added to personal and clan ratings. Moreover, in the clan section, you'll be able to sort players by points in the current Blitz Tournament. In the future, we plan to completely refresh the ratings screen to make it more modern.

Tasks from the Command for Tournaments and Blitz Tournaments

You'll be able to earn extra golden credits for victories in tournament and blitz battles. The more victories you claim, the more golden credits you'll receive!

Increase in the number of prize places in the Competitions

Currently, the top 50 players in competitions receive awards. We've decided to increase the number of prize places to 100, giving you more chances to win!

Career

Career is a unified system for accessing content. All game content will be unlocked through stars in the Career section: unlocking units and buildings, accessing game modes, achieving the next league or rank, and additional rewards. Moreover, unlocking new units will no longer be tied to completing the campaign missions, and players will be able to start PvP after finishing the sixth mission.

Dynamic Objectives on the Mini-map

We'll update the marking of units, buildings, and points of interest. This will allow for marking moving targets on the mini-map and enhance the understanding of displayed icons.

New Event Section

Our game events will get their own dedicated screen. There, you'll be able to get all the necessary information about event conditions and durations, separate event ratings, a reward line, and much more!

Game Balance and Matchmaking Improvements

Balance requires constant work, so we'll continue to monitor faction metrics and make necessary adjustments. We'll also focus on the matchmaking system to ensure even more fair battles.

Achievements for Heroes

Heroes are now a vital part of any commander's army. It's time to add achievements for them so you can boast about them to your friends.
