Happy New Year 2025! What's Next?
Hey, hey, hey!
It’s good to be back again, commanders.
Happy New Year and all the best for 2025 from the whole Eugen team! Let’s go and make another kick-ass WARNO year.
In today’s first-ever 2025 post, we’ll take a look at what’s in store for WARNO for the foreseeable future. But before we start, a little recap of 2024 would not be out of place.
How 2024 Came To Pass?
All right, we wanted to give you a review of 2024 before blasting off into the new year with full abandon.
Of course, one of Eugen’s main feats was releasing WARNO out of Early Access into the wild (with only a modicum of delay). Well, scratch that last part: we released the game late. As you know, the team is small, dedicated, and always hard at work at our games (not only WARNO but also Steel Division 2). Game development as a whole is a delicate art, and delays, technical issues, and other unforeseen obstacles are more common than not. However, we did manage to stuff extra content, divisions, weapons, and units in WARNO’s official launch.
WARNO had its full release on May 23rd, 2024, with 18 divisions, 4 operations, and 5 Army General campaigns (that’s 2 divisions and 1 Army General campaign more than originally promised). Plus, we threw in 5 extra divisions with the Early Access Pack for free for Early Access owners of WARNO.
There is more. We released various new maps in several Reinforcement Packs: Stoneware, Railway, Urban Frontlines, and Albion, Valley and Factory. The last two new maps were specifically created with new assets in response to community requests (Urban and Provence - Southern France).
Throughout the year, we rolled out a host of patches, new features, improvements, and updates, in some cases… ahem… in response to previously rolled-out patches and updates.
You guessed it: Eugen development team is small, mighty, but human. We do at times make mistakes, get unit balances wrong, or take too long to finish, but in the end, we all share the aim to make WARNO the best kick-ass real-time strategy game out there.
Redoubling Our Efforts
Despite some delays, we redoubled our efforts to stay on schedule (which we did manage!) with WARNO’sExpansion Pass content. We delivered:
Nemesis #1: Air Assault, featuring the American 101st Airborne Division and Soviet 56th Separate Guards Air Assault Brigade.
Nemesis #2: Plateau d'Albion, being the first community-voted mini-expansion, featuring the French 152e Division d'Infanterie and Soviet 76th Airborne Division.
And our very first major expansion, WARNO - NORTHAG, with 10 new Divisions, 4 Operations, and 2 Army General campaigns. It also included Belgium, the Netherlands, and Poland as new nations, with a fearsome cameo from Luxembourg!
Enough with the old, in with the new! What’s in the works for WARNO on the near horizon?
Nemesis #3 has been picked (by us, so no community vote) and will be soon unveiled. We have already started to work on this mini-expansion in order to speed up development and to get it into your hands quicker!
WARNO - SOUTHAG is coming your ways as well. This major expansion is in the workshop, as we speak, and will feature 10 new divisions, 4 new Operations, and 2 new Army General Campaigns. The expansion will feature Canada, Spain, and Czechoslovakia as new playable nations.
Nemesis #4
But first, from next week onwards, we’ll start with a new Nemesis round, and this one will be - once again - a community vote! The sooner we have a final vote (in a couple of weeks), the sooner we can get busy in the Eugen kitchen.
Until Next Week!
That’s it for this first WARNO DevBlog. We’ll be back next week with Nemesis #4.1!
Unlocking Steam achievements for the two new Army General campaigns of NORTHAG has been fixed. Unfortunately, to unlock the achievements, you will need to restart your campaign. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Improved error messages for invalid mods
Fixed the size of certain models that appeared very small in the game when using low settings.
Fixed an issue where some supply units consumed fuel while moving.
Fixed the attack angle of the Pave Claw 30mm on the F/A-16.
Fixed AI behavior in Skirmish and tactical battles within campaigns. The AI is no longer passive or inactive and will now attack again.

Merry Christmas
NORTHAG Out Now!
Commanders, it’s the news you have been waiting for.
WARNO - NORTHAG our very first expansion is available now!
World War III hits the North German Plain. Take to the fight with a smattering of new divisions, new units, weapons, and nations, including 10 new Divisions, 2 new Army General campaigns, 4 new Operations, and much more!
WARNO - NORTHAG Explained
WARNO - NORTHAG zooms in on the northern West Germany battlefront where the Warsaw Pact needs to overcome the staunch defenses of NATO’s NORTHAG.

WARNO - NORTHAG features:
2 new Army General campaigns.
4 new Operations.
10 new Divisions, including NATO’s Belgian 16e Pantserdivisie, Dutch 4e Divisie, the British 4th Armoured Division and MultiNational Airborne Division, and the American 9th Infantry (Motorized) Division, while the Warsaw Pact deploys the Soviet 25-ya Tank. Diviziya, the East German 9. Panzerdivision, and the Polish 4 Dywizja Zmechanizowan, 20 Dywizja Pancerna and Grupa Desantowa.
3 new playable nations: NATO’s Belgium and the Netherlands, and Warsaw Pact’s Poland.
New voice acting.
New units and models.
In case you have missed one of the many NORTHAG DevBlogs, make sure to read the dedicated forum post below for a handy overview of all WARNO - NORTHAG previews!
It’s not only WARNO - NORTHAG that launched today. Available free to all owners of WARNO, two new battlefields come courtesy of Reinforcement Pack #5: Valley and Factory (both in 3vs3 and 10vs10).
That’s it for 2024 from the Eugen team! Of course, we’ll be busy squishing any bugs and hot-fixing any issues, but for the time being, we’ll say goodbye. We wish everyone happy holidays, and to see you again fresh (with lots of exciting new things) in 2025.
Supply can now be activated partially, for example to resupply only ammo, fuel or repairs.
SAM missiles now have the ability to apply a stress effect on units within a 500m radius of them. This effect is applied based on the proximity and power of the missile used. When a missile gets close enough to an aircraft or helicopter, the affected unit will suffer this stress effect. If the affected unit is controlled by a player, a brief yellow visual effect will appear on the unit's label to indicate the psychological impact of the missile.
Reinforcement Pack #5: 2 new maps are available, Valley and Factory in 3v3 Conquest. Added Destruction mode for the 4 Northag 3v3 maps (Railway, Stoneware, Valley, and Factory). These 4 maps have also been added to the official 10v10 servers.
Code fixes
Fixed information displayed on tank guns when they cannot align
Improved display of unowned DLCs, by adding a padlock icon
Fixed crash on some towed units
Fixed a rare crash that occurred in-game
Fixed fatigue tooltip showing wrong number in Army General
Fixed display of units that have 4 weapons, in the order of battle in Army General

Fixed the number of ammo displayed for some tank guns not matching the number that could be fired
Improved alignment on all units in the game, especially towed weapons (Anti-tank guns, AA guns) to correct problems with units not firing because they are stuck in "alignment"
Fixed the result of ranked games as well as ELO points won or lost in the ranking
Data fixes
Fixed label for engineers in Nato mode
Fixed Mi-8TV Gunship model and weapons
Fixed towing animation for some towed units

NORTHAG Coming Soon!
Hello commanders!
Glorious news. The launch for WARNO - NORTHAG, is getting very very close.
As you might have noticed, getting our latest expansion ready for shipment before the year’s end has proved to be a slightly bigger endeavor than previously thought. And we still need to keep a bit of flexibility in giving you a concrete date.
We have been very busy polishing WARNO’s first expansion with the latest feedback up to the last minute and will get it into your hands shortly! And when it comes, the new Reinforcement Pack #5">Reinforcement Pack #5[TAG-10], free to all owners of WARNO, will launch alongside it!
The new WARNO - NORTHAG expansion
We promised to launch WARNO - NORTHAG before the year’s end, and we will. More precisely, we will release it next week. Which day exactly? Well, about that, we rather not commit ourselves that much, still running tests on the version as we speak and crushing last minute's bugs.
WARNO - NORTHAG is the first major expansion coming to WARNO. World War III hits the North German Plain where the attacking Warsaw Pact needs to overcome the staunch defenses of NATO’s NORTHAG. Under British command, Belgian, Dutch, West German, and American forces battle against the powerful northern formations of the Soviet Group of Forces in Germany, including East German and reinforcing Polish armies.
10 new Divisions, including NATO’s Belgian 16e Pantserdivisie, Dutch 4e Divisie, the British 4th Armoured Division and MultiNational Airborne Division, and the American 9th Infantry (Motorized) Division, while the Warsaw Pact deploys the Soviet 25-ya Tank. Diviziya, the East German 9. Panzerdivision, and the Polish 4 Dywizja Zmechanizowan, 20 Dywizja Pancerna and Grupa Desantowa.
3 new playable nations: NATO’s Belgium and the Netherlands (as well as Luxemburg embedded with Belgium), and Warsaw Pact’s Poland.
New voice acting.
Over 400 new units or models.
In case you have missed one of the many NORTHAG DevBlogs, make sure to read the dedicated forum post for a handy overview of all WARNO - NORTHAG previews!
Next to WARNO - NORTHAG we’ll also launch the free-to-all-owners Reinforcement Pack #5, bringing two new battlefields to WARNO: Valley and Factory (both in 3vs3 and 10vs10).
We detailed both maps in their own DevBlogs. Read more here about Valley, setting out to challenge players with a combo of rivers, mountains, and a central plain with scattered woods and defensive points. Detailed descriptions of Factory can be checked here.
There is more: we are also releasing some new variants of existing maps including Destruction and 10vs10 versions of the existing Stoneware and Railway.
Until Next Time
Not long now, commanders. We’ll be back very soon!
We hope you are well. We return with a short WARNO DevBlog today. More news to be followed soon, but at least today’s post features lots of eye candy, though!
Go, go, go!
WARNO - NORTHAG’s Launch is Close
We are on the very final stretch before releasing our much-anticipated WARNO - NORTHAG expansion. This means the team is hard at work squashing bugs, polishing, finetuning, adjusting, and tweaking all manners of expansion-related new features, units, and mechanics. We are also collecting all the latest feedback and comments from our testers and implementing these as we speak.
We hope to share a launch date for WARNO - NORTHAG with you very soon (Eugen trademark). Of course, keep in mind the caveats, as we want to make absolutely sure we’ll be able to deliver.
Keep tight, commanders, it is not very long now.

Free Map Albion Out Now!
Surprise, commanders!
We interrupt our regular DevBlog broadcast with a thunderbolt drop of a brand-new map as part of the Reinforcement Pack #4, available for free now!
Let’s welcome to the stage the (popularly requested) Albion map. You guessed it: this new battlefield is a direct companion piece to the Nemesis #2 - Plateau d’Albion mini-expansion, and free to all owners of WARNO!
Here’s the story. After the release of WARNO’sNemesis #2 - Plateau d'Albion, we received countless requests from the community to make a map inspired by the mini-expansion. Mmh, we thought, not a bad idea. So, rolling up our sleeves, we went to work double-time to deliver an authentic map that pays tribute to this iconic Cold War French nuclear missile silo base (under imminent attack by Soviet VDV forces in WARNO’s 1989). The free map is part of the Reinforcement Pack #4.
To bring this unique battlefield to life, we extensively studied military archives, crafting the new WARNO map using various historical pictures and visuals. We hope that the in-game end result of a recreated Base Aérienne 200 (BA 200) on the Plateau d’Albion in southeastern France does justice to the real-life example.
The Albion Plateau was once home to one of France’s most important nuclear missile launch bases. Built in the 1960s to bolster the country’s land-based nuclear deterrence, the military complex housed a vast network of silos, control buildings, bunkers, and military zones. At the height of the Cold War, this base symbolized France’s military power and nuclear deterrence strategy in a supreme manner.
Albion in WARNO
The new Albion map is a 2v2 battlefield with a host of updated visual assets that really bring out that well-guarded-secretive-military-base touch. First up are the nuclear missile launch zones with silos, control buildings, and ventilation shafts. All are faithfully reproduced to enhance the feel of an authentic military installation.
The surrounding terrain and scenery are inspired by the countryside in southern France. A true homage to the Provençal landscape, we’ve reworked the vegetation to capture the local feel, including lavender fields! Perfect for a “mini-vacation” (before heading to a ferocious World War III battle!).
Albion features a host of fortified military zones with well-placed bunkers and extensive military installations.
A Strategic Design Overview
From a level design perspective, Albion’s main focus was on recreating the nuclear launch zones, the military base (split between command facilities and barracks), as well as the various munitions and weapon depots. To ensure a balanced gameplay experience, we repositioned specific historical elements, such as the launch areas.
We need to give special thanks to Didier “Capcom” Capdevila and the site capcomespace.net, the encyclopedia of space, for their rich archive of text and photos. These were invaluable in our research and made the creation of Albion possible!
Let us know what you think of Albion. We can’t hear to wait for your feedback while battling to avoid (or perhaps hasten) nuclear armageddon!
New Soundtracks
Next to this new map, we are also releasing two sweet new soundtracks for WARNO’s playlist.
The first one is “When Night Comes”, by Oriol Sirinathsingh, will hit that 80s pulsating synthwave just about right.
The second one is “For Honor And Country!”, composed specifically for WARNO by Eugen members Sebastien Alaiwan "Ace17" and Panzer. You can already get a taste for the track here:
You might wonder what’s happening with WARNO - NORTHAG, the first major expansion to hit our World War III battle simulator’s shores. Not to worry, its release is imminent, but we just need a bit more time to tweak and adjust the expansion’s host of new units, divisions, Army General campaigns, and Operations.

A branch is available on Steam to continue using mods that have not yet been updated to this new version. To use it, go to the game properties, “Betas” tab, and set “Beta participation” to “BranchName”.

NORTHAG Map#4 Valley Preview
Hello!
In today’s DevBlog, we have (one of our) last WARNO - NORTHAG previews, focusing on the new, number #4 map: Valley.
Note that all new maps will be freely available and downloadable for all owners of WARNO.
A Real-Life Inspiration
Valley is inspired by the Bad König region in West Germany, known for its rugged valleys and rough terrain. The 9 km² battlefield - which equates to 3x3 km - is similar in size to popular maps such as Airport, Twin Cities, and Rocks.
At launch, the map will be geared towards 3vs3 battles, but we are already working on implementing additional game modes, including the mighty 10vs10, 1vs1, and Destruction variants (might be rolled out separately at a later date).
Valley sets out to challenge players with a combo of rivers, mountains, and a central plain with scattered woods and defensive points. This new battlefield is going to require all the tactical prowess and skills of a well-experienced WARNO commander.
Topography
So, what’s the deal with Valley? The new map features two naturally flowing rivers bordering the edges of the battlefield. These provide a unique opportunity to use your amphibious units. The waterways snake their way through the map, creating several tactical chokepoints and passageways very suitable for ambushes (or swift retreats).
That’s not all: Valley also includes some mountainous terrain (again inspired by the real-life situation on the ground). These offer great vantage points for your hidden recon units (and surprise attacks). There won’t be any Command Zones here, so this part of the map is all about gaining the tactical upper hand.
On Valley’s central plain, a vast flat zone with a scattering of defensive points and hedgerows, be prepared for some fierce positional battles. The bits of woods and thickets will be the prime location for some intense skirmishes.
Gaining control of the plain requires some forward-thinking and patient strategizing. No river too deep, no mountain too high, but you’ll have to be a patient but adventurous commander if you want to take hold - and dominate - this part of Valley.
The new WARNO - NORTHAG expansion
WARNO - NORTHAG is the first major expansion coming to WARNO. World War III hits the North German Plain where the attacking Warsaw Pact needs to overcome the staunch defenses of NATO’s NORTHAG. Under British command, Belgian, Dutch, West German, and American forces battle against the powerful northern formations of the Soviet Group of Forces in Germany, including East German and reinforcing Polish armies. The expansion is planned for later in 2024.
10 new Divisions, including NATO’s Belgian 16e Pantserdivisie, Dutch 4e Divisie, the British 4th Armoured Division and MultiNational Airborne Division, and the American 9th Infantry (Motorized) Division, while the Warsaw Pact deploys the Soviet 25-ya Tank. Diviziya, the East German 9. Panzerdivision, and the Polish 4 Dywizja Zmechanizowan, 20 Dywizja Pancerna and Grupa Desantowa.
3 new playable nations: NATO’s Belgium and the Netherlands, and Warsaw Pact’s Poland.
New voice acting.
New units and models.
