- Steam gave us answer, big update! New release date. - 20 October 2021
Hello everyone! We’re alive and we got an answer from the steam! It took them a bit long, but finally, we got the answer. Countryballs Heroes can be released on steam and won’t be censored in any form. However! Our game can’t be released on a specific Asian country…our jokes are simple to funny. ^ So if you are a fan of our game and are from that region -> use vpn to find us on steam. Ok so what next? If everything goes correctly, we'll release countryballs in the next month. This time however I won’t give you a specific date. We'll let you know whenever there will be a green button on the steam side ,, release now". Meat time! During this ,,wait” period we were working on: - Multiplayer module, which will be on Open Beta branch later next month - We made 4 more units for free ( Putinball on Bear e.g ) - We also made 2 more maps for free - Poped 2 weeks extra on bug fixing to be sure th…
- Release Date Postpone - more information inside - 17 August 2021
Hello! Today we have planned to inform you that everything is good and the game is coming to you according to the plan. Unfortunately, we're coming with bad news. The Steam support informed us that its crew needs more time to review the game. Usually, it takes from 3 up to 5 days. In this case, we received a recommendation from Steam to change the game's launch date because they won't be able to review CountryBalls Heroes in time. Therefore, we need to postpone CountryBalls Heroes' premiere. **The game is 100% complete, and it has been ready for you for a couple of weeks**. However, Steam procedures require that we wait at least 21 days before setting the new launch date. Therefore, we've decided to change the date to Q4 of 2021 and give you some more specific information on the premiere's day once Steam's review is complete and we have a green light. We are aware that many of you await…

- March Update - 23 March 2021
Hello Everyone! Time for an update You asked us to add Poland with the right colors as a separate faction. Your opinion is the most important thing to us... that's why Poland faction joined the game. From today, apart from Polandball ( Poland with inverted colors), you will also find Poland with the correct colors! Additionally, our musician has prepared great music for the Poland faction! Through these videos, we want to convey to you the atmosphere of our little game. I sincerely hope that we can show it.
