It's very nice to see The Red Solstice still going strong with a lot of new players after our last promotion. We mentioned that we will make an announcement this Friday, so here it is!
New [B]CONTENT UPDATE[/B] and a [B]DLC[/B] will be arriving at the same time, in the upcoming weeks.
CONTENT UPDATE:
Will feature a new [B]marauder mode[/B]. In this mode players will be able to visit all available sectors in the same time. Game will last longer (up to 2h if you wish to complete entire marauder game), but it will be give the game quite a different flavour.
Each sector will bring it's own challenges and tracing back through already visited sector might net you some nasty surprises.
DLC:
We're prepping dlc which will include more missions and 2 new weapons to play with. Stay tuned!
With this announcement we are also releasing a new balancing patch that will hopefully make this game better and more fun to play. As always, your comments are welcome either on the community hub forums or on our discord servers.

HINTS - Basic field knowledge
Multiplayer mode is made to present a more challenging but ultimate COOP experience, so if those of you who have just started playing are having hard time surviving, we suggest you try playing at least through the first singleplayer mission in order to familiarize yourself with the game mechanics.
It is a good idea to start with larger teams on easier difficulties, try keeping at the outer edges of the map as much as possible, try to collect as much supplies from the buildings as possible in the first part of the game, and stick with your teammates.
The Red Solstice universe
We would also like to use this opportunity to mention that Solstice Chronicles: MIA, our single player based twin stick shooter game set in The Red Solstice universe.
Those of you who like our work will be happy to hear that we are preparing another big update and surprise for FRIDAY 19 Jan, an update with some bug fixes and some additional content plus some exciting news about our upcoming projects.
For the end, some cool TRS video!

Solstice Chronicles - Funded! Last 24h!
Hello marines!
It has been a struggle keeping pace with the development plans while at the same time juggling with all the other responsibilities the campaign demanded, but we made it and it was worth it. Not only did we manage to gather the needed financial resources, but the interest you have shown us so far has pushed us to actually finish more then initially planned so that we can show you more of the actual gameplay. For those who missed it, you can watch the replay of our yesterday's Twitch stream in which our CEO Hrvoje shows our progress with the survival mode at:
Check game at - https://www.twitch.tv/videos/130239891
Support us at - https://www.fig.co/campaigns/solstice-chronicles-mia
But the campaign isn't over and there is so much more that can be done.
So what now?
There is 24h more to go, and we haven't given up on our stretch goals. Any money that we receive beyond the initial goal will be going towards the development of "Improved Survival". Even if we don't manage to reach the official stretch goal, we will use the resources at our disposal to make as much of it as possible.
What we probably miss the most at this moment is multiplayer. A lot of people are disappointed by the fact that we are planning to release the game with local coop multiplayer only. It has been a tough decision to go for a game with no network multiplayer after making a successful multiplayer focused game, but unfortunately it was the right one. We want to deliver games done right, and we would never manage to make a full multiplayer supporting game with the resources we had at our disposal.
Since it's something we really want to do, we have added multiplayer as our third and most ambitious stretch goal. If we manage to reach it, a full network multiplayer mode will be added to the game some time after the release.
Best regards from the Ironward team!
Final days for Solstice Chronicles - livestream!
