arma 4 has been confirmed to be in development and to smack you in the meantime, you can find out Arma Reforger.

First, the developers have accompanied the news that Arma 4 is in development with a video that throws back at previous entries in the series and teases Arma 4 at the end.

Nothing is known about the title, Arma Reforger is described as a platform that serves as a stepping stone on the way to Arma 4 by offering a glimpse into the future. It gives you the opportunity to test Arma’s approach, gameplay and infrastructure, and to shape what’s next for Arma 4 and the series as a whole.

Available for PC and the first Arma title for Xbox, Arma Reforger takes you to the Isle of Everon, offering over 51km2 of scenery in an authentic Cold War setting.

This standalone multiplayer sandbox showcases gameplay and provides modding tools that allow you to create assets, design scenarios, change gameplay mechanics, and alter battles in real time. If you play on console, you can download unique content from modders around the world to play an infinite variety of scenarios.

Reforger offers multiplayer over two different game modes. The first is Conflict, which allows you to join others online and experience Cold War combat. You fight for the island of Everon as a soldier of the US or Soviet Army in a large open-world terrain.

You must capture strategic positions and work with others to complete objectives in a dynamic environment with weapons and vehicles authentic to the period.

The second multiplayer game mode is called Game Master, and it’s a simple, easy-to-use tool that lets you create different scenarios, manage events as they develop, and guide other players through curated experiences using the real-time scenario editor.

Designed for both newbies and Arma veterans, this healing, mod-compatible game mode features a responsive battlefield. You can also explore the workshop and filter created content based on various criteria such as rating, content type, genre and more. There is no need to reload the game if you want to join a modified server; just join the server where your desired mod is located and start playing.

Reforger is currently available in Early Access on Steam and via Game Preview on Xbox for $29.99. Because it is a work in progress, it may change over time or release as a final product. Buy only if you are satisfied with the current state of the unfinished game.
