Only recently picked this up on sale on PSN so pleasantly surprised by this :)



Updates after dodgy launch
- 2 new battlegroups added for free
- 4 major updates with significant QoL updates (vote to surrender, mission selection, auto match cooldown, audio/graphics improvements, player profile match history, leader boards, veterancy and observer mode +more)
- 13 new updates, AI improvements and UI updates

Coming in 2.0 anniversary updates
- New DLC, Fire and Steel. 4 new battlegroups
- 4 new maps multiplayer and scrimmage (3 x classic redesigns)
- Many single player enhancements (unique companies, feel different, responsiveness of unit control, animation bugs fixed - game should feel quicker and more fluid)
- Defenses buffed as enemies can spawn anywhere
- Loyalty system reworked
- Immersive audio improved
- Rebalancing of mechanics, specifically armour, tank riding faster and easier, tank machine guns improved. Rewards strategic planning and placement)
 
Sounds really positive. I dropped it not long after release as it just didn't feel finished. Looking forward to giving this another go though. Does anyone know when the update releases?

Have heard this is the worst one in the series.
It is, primarily because they tried to innovate too hard with the total war layer in single player, something doable but probably not with the budget/people that they had. The core RTS underneath that is still fun, but I haven't tried the multiplayer because I told my friends not to buy it. Hopefully this update comes with a big sale. I'm looking forward to trying this again, I haven't touched it since launch.

Eh, I wouldn't call it the "king", since it's not even the best Relic RTS by a huge margin. But it's nice to see that they still care about it, I guess. And it certainly is better than whatever the fuck Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 3 was...

I notice in the update they didn't announce they are changing the horrible cash shop system.

I mean if the fundamentals have improved, great. But I hate loading up a game and the first thing being shoved in my face is challanges for a trickle of free currency to drive me towards the shop.

Might give it a redownload on my new Rig, I have like all the free twitch reward skins.

There only thing you need to pay is the 4 new battlegroup dlc. Quick download now, i think there’s another 2 older battlegroup free for a limited time

Didn’t they drop ps5 support a while ago? Played fantastic with controller, but looked shite on console.
