Developer Roadmap Revealed for Guns and Robots
These several months have been crucial for shaping up Guns and Robots. We are very excited about the features we are currently finalizing and we believe it is time to set our next goals and share them with you. Here is detailed Roadmap of Guns and Robots for the next upcoming second season of the game, now available on Steam .
The game will soon implement Territory capture as a separate mode that will make tactical and strategic elements in the game more intense. Guilds will play a vital part in that new mode that will be coming to life in the next season. A lot of content improvements are planned, including new maps and two new game modes.
Check the description of the upcoming features:
Territory Conquest– One of the major additions in Guns and Robots will be this new play mode that will allow players to conquer territories in ranked guild death- matches, where players will fight in open world arenas to dominate one territory.
Game Tournaments– Player competitions with different rules and great prizes.
Localization. We plan to localize Guns and Robots in many languages.
New maps. Upon Open Beta Release we had plans to make 10 maps and at the moment we managed to release 6 of them, the other 4 are on their way.
New game modes. We also plan for 2 new game modes - " robot race" and "free for all".
Players can look forward to enhanced experience with new gameplay modes, guild features, events and game tournaments. Alongside the big features that we will introduce later this year we will be aiming at constant content updates and ironing out balance.
