Sea Power: Naval Combat In The Missile Age South Atlantic 1982 Update

Sea Power: Naval Combat in the Missile Age has rolled out its massive South Atlantic 1982 update (v0.9.0), introducing the British Royal Navy and Argentina as playable factions alongside two dedicated campaigns recreating the Falklands War. Available as a free update for all owners, the patch brings over 80 new assets, including iconic warships like the HMS Hermes, Invincible, and Sheffield, as well as the Argentine cruiser ARA General Belgrano, Super Étendards armed with AM39 Exocets, and A-4 Skyhawks.

Beyond the new theater and faction rosters, the update introduces a brand-new 3D globe and tactical map system, a “Rolling Replay” feature to review missions from multiple camera angles, an overhauled campaign interface with deeper management features, and substantial additions to the mission editor.

Broken Arrow: War On Air DLC Announced

Broken Arrow: War on Air has been officially announced; this new DLC features a new narrative-driven campaign for the modern-warfare real-time tactics game. Unfolding parallel to the events of the main story, the single-player campaign consists of six interconnected missions that follow Russian Guard forces led by you and Lieutenant Colonel Ilya Kotov as you face off against US-backed Baltic special forces. The narrative takes a unique dual perspective, interweaving military command decisions with reports from Vera Kandinskaya, a Saint Petersburg civilian blogger covering the conflict from the ground. This is certainly one of the choices of all time. I’m very interested to see how they’ll pull this one off.

War on Air introduces four new maps: Kronstadt, Vyborg, the Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant, and Tallinn Fortress, which will also be added to the multiplayer rotation. Player choices throughout the campaign will dynamically alter mission difficulty and shape the story’s ultimate conclusion. Launching alongside the DLC, a free game update will deliver one of the community’s most requested features: the ability to save progress during single-player campaign missions.

Veil of Ashes New Details

Greifenmaer took the stage during Slitherine Next to share an in-depth look at Veil of Ashes, an upcoming real-time tactics game set in a grim, post-apocalyptic alternate history powered by steam-driven war machines. Game Designer Michael Patzer and Felix Schweitz discussed the studio’s transition to working with publisher Slitherine, the vital role of community feedback, and the current state of development. Stripping away traditional base-building, the game drops players straight into single-player and multiplayer skirmishes where infantry, tanks, and towering behemoths are deployed directly onto destructible battlefields across two distinct factions at launch—the Sacrum Imperium and the Lohenreich- with a third faction, The Communes, planned for the future.

The Rising Cult Announced

Slitherine has announced The Rising Cult, a real-time stealth tactics game set in a Lovecraftian 1920s city. If you know me, I love Lovecraft, so I was instantly interested. Players step into the role of a cult leader carrying out the will of the Old Ones, managing expeditions across urban districts to steal, eliminate targets, and spread terror while evading police, investigators, and rival sects. The game blends tactical infiltration with roguelite expedition chains where players break enemy sanity, convert survivors into followers, and summon mythos horrors like Deep Ones, Shoggoths, and Mi-Go for direct combat. Between forays into the city, players expand a hidden underground lair to research forbidden lore, unlock new monsters, and prepare for upcoming rituals.

    I like the new South Atlantic scenarios in Sea Power, but I’m not sure if I can beat the Argentinians with 1982-era Royal Navy warships.
