• End of Beta and R1.28.8 Patch Release - 27 October 2025

  Greetings and salutations, Soldiers community!The closed test has ended, and the R1.28.8 update is officially out. It might sound like a simple line, but there’s a lot of work behind it, as well as lots of empty coffee cups. Before we dive into the details, we want to thank everyone who joined the test, with a special shoutout to the small but incredibly active group of testers who kept us on our toes at Best Way. What Happens if a Programmer is Left Unsupervised?Do you recall when Xalavier Nelson Jr. shared that story about receiving a message from Sam Chiet at 3 AM? Out of the blue, Sam had decided to make a PC game compatible with Kinect, a tablet, and even a Wiimote (the controller from the 2007 Nintendo Wii) all in a single night. Something of a similar nature happened to one of the Best Way programmers that affected the matrix and fabric of reality so tremendously that now we have…

• Closed Beta Test & Next Patch - R1.28.8 - 13 October 2025

  Greetings, community members!We’re back once again with more news about Soldiers! Over the past few months, we’ve been working on a long list of improvements, including doubling the entity limit, fixing several crashes, overhauling localization across English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Russian, and fine-tuning many other aspects of the game. We’ll publish the full list of improvements along with the R1.28.8 patch release, and a lot more about what has been happening behind the curtains! But before that… We’d like the players to help us test the update and ensure things run as intended.

• The Achievement Overhaul & A Little Extra (update R1.28.7) - 20 March 2025

  Greetings, community members! Since launching the community items and achievements, we’ve been closely watching your feedback. While most achievements worked fine, some… well, they had a mind of their own! We knew we had to act fast, so our first step was a hotfix to address a major issue preventing achievements from registering properly. That quick fix helped, but as we soon found out… this old game kicks us hard! Hunting Down Achievement Bugs—One by One! To get a complete picture, we rolled up our sleeves and tested all 72 achievements from top to bottom. This wasn’t just about making sure they function correctly—we also wanted to evaluate their difficulty, and overall experience. After compiling our results, we combined them with your valuable feedback to pinpoint the biggest issues. Then, one of our game designers took on the task of rewriting and refining mission scripts to fix and…
