- R.U.S.E. is Back With Re-Release on Steam! - 5 May 2026
R.U.S.E., the ultimate strategic experience, has returned to Steam (PC, Steam Deck) with its relaunch today. At Eugen Systems, we are thrilled to bring R.U.S.E. to a new generation of players and welcome back old veterans of our evergreen popular World War II RTS. To this day, it holds a unique position in the genre for favoring deception, strategy, and tactical wit. While we developed and launched R.U.S.E. in 2010, the game didn’t officially belong to us. Sidelined due to distribution constraints, we could do nothing in the subsequent years to help the players who contacted us for assistance or tried to obtain the game. Recently, we received the opportunity to return R.U.S.E. to our catalog. This allowed us to re-release this pillar of the RTS genre, with some added extras! Players who previously purchased R.U.S.E. on Steam before it was delisted will keep full access to the title, inc…

- Italy Nation Pack - Coming Soon! - 16 August 2024
Hello! You might be wishing, you might be waiting, but Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: Italy is really getting awfully close to release. We only need to put the final flourish and finishing touches on our newest Nation Pack DLC.

There are a couple of rules: Only one name per player. Names appropriate to the Nation Pack featured. Surnam…
- Italy Nation Pack - Aircraft Preview - 9 August 2024
Hello, hello! We are back with the final installment of our Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: Italy previews. In today’s DevBlog, we take to the skies with a look at the DLC’s new helicopters and aircraft. Let’s go! Flying High With Nation Pack: Italy In terms of helicopters, Italy initially relied only on American-made helos. These were mostly civilian variants of military helicopters such as the Kiowa, Huey, and Chinook, with some of them modified by local Italian industries. From the 1980s onwards, a wind of change blew as Italians started developing and deploying their own designs. These proved effective, such as the multi-purpose A.109 and the A.129 attack helicopter. When it comes to aircraft, the Italian Air Force can be divided into three categories: the F-104, which was used, reused, heavily upgraded, and kept on for almost half of the Cold War’s duration; the jointly develope…
- Italy Nation Pack - Vehicles Preview - 2 August 2024
We are back! As promised, in today’s DevBlog, we’ll shine a light on the new arsenal of vehicles you’ll get to play with in the upcoming Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: Italy. Let’s go! Play it cool with Nation Pack: Italy Italy’s roster of vehicles and equipment is quite peculiar. For most of the Cold War, the Italian Army had to make do with foreign materiel, especially its main battle tanks. However, it had a strong automotive and manufacturing base, with the domestic military industry designing some striking armored vehicles destined for an export market. This means that Italy had a large number of potential “prototypes,” most of which were actually way beyond the experimental stage, finding export success in other countries. So many of these types of vehicles exist that we could have made a Wargame: Red Dragon Italian Army with only export prototypes. A fine line had to be walke…
- Italy Nation Pack - Infantry Preview - 26 July 2024
Surprise, surprise, surprise! We are back with a new Nation Pack for our ever-popular Wargame: Red Dragon, introducing… the armed forces of Italy! That’s right, an often-requested new nation is being worked on in Eugen’s workshop as we speak. The upcoming Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: Italy will feature the cool and striking Italian Armed Forces, with a release date in the very short future. In today’s post, we’ll take a first look at the Italian Nation Pack’s infantry. Future posts will detail new Italian ground vehicles to be followed by air forces. Let’s dig in. Play it cool with Nation Pack: Italy We love to spring a good surprise on our player base. But you might be wondering, why now? As you all should know, Italy has been popularly requested by the community to be included in Wargame: Red Dragon for quite some time. In our opinion, the Mediterranean nation was the last missi…
- WARNO is a spiritual successor to the Wargame RTS series - 18 December 2021
I had some fun with the Wargame series of real-time strategy games, although past a certain point I couldn't tell the difference between its umpteen historical tanks. Now developers Eugen Systems are making a spiritual successor called WARNO, which is coming to Steam Early Access next month. Read more
- WARNO, the spiritual successor to Wargame, is coming soon to Steam Early Access! - 17 December 2021
Hello! In case you missed the big news: we have revealed the spiritual successor to the Wargame series today! Get ready to deploy into our next-gen World War III battle simulator, WARNO! You don’t have to wait long. This coming January 20th when we will launch into Steam Early Access! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1611600/WARNO/ WARNO results from months and years of hard work from our talented (but small) team at Eugen Systems. Our new real-time strategy and simulation game will focus on an escalating conflict between NATO and Warsaw Pact forces in Western Europe in 1989. In case you missed it, be sure to check out WARNO’s reveal trailer. We took most of the exciting, fun gameplay of Wargame and added all the best elements of our Steel Division series to the mix. And voila, WARNO was born. What does this mean? For instance, in WARNO you’ll be able to play our Army General campaign…
- Modern war RTS game Wargame: Red Dragon is still getting DLC seven years later - 30 September 2021
Wargame: Red Dragon is an ambitious cold war strategy game set in an alternate modern warfare setting. Created by Eugen Systems, it was the final entry in a trio of RTS games before the studio moved on to create Steel Division and Steel Division 2 - two excellent WW2 war games that make use of the same design. Seven years after release, it seems there's still plenty of interest in this game, however - it's just got a bradn-new piece of DLC that will introduce the South African Defence Force as a playable faction. The new army receives over 90 new units, 20 of which introduce brand new unit models. Red Dragon involves warfare across air, land, and sea, although the SADF doesn't get any naval units in this pack. The South Africa Nation Pack is the most expensive single-nation expansion the game has received to date, but according to Eugen this is because this expansion "is the first in ma…
- Nation Pack - SADF Out Now - 30 September 2021
Strap in manne, today is the big day! Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: South Africa is now available! Get ready to unleash South African Defence Force’s arsenal on the battlefield!

- Nation Pack - South Africa coming September 30th - 16 September 2021
Good news, everyone! We will release Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: South Africa on Thursday, September 30th. The wait is almost over! Itching to get back into the fight with the South African Defence Force’s unique Cold War arsenal? Keep reading for the latest details on the new Nation Pack. What’s on offer? https://store.steampowered.com/app/1575820/Wargame_Red_Dragon__Nation_Pack_South_Africa Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: South Africa will be available for $9.99 / 9,99€ (or the equivalent in your local currency). The reason for this price is multifold. First, keep in mind that this Nation Pack is the first in many years, with the number and quality of (new) models exceeding those featured in previous DLC. Not only that, the amount of work required for this expansion was substantial - game development is neither cheap nor straightforward, especially resuming work on a game as…
- Nation Pack - SADF Post-Summer Update - 9 September 2021
Hello there, we are back again! Now, you might wonder what we have been up to in August. Not sitting quietly, that’s for sure. The release of our new Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: South Africa DLC is getting closer. But before we get there, we wanted to highlight what we have been working on. Active development A special team has been chipping away and testing the Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: South Africa for a month. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, we have rebalanced and tweaked the SADF forces in-game, and made sure the new arsenal is as polished as can be. Such as? Some of the plane load-outs have been changed compared to ones detailed in our South African Air Force Gameplay post. We have reworked some of the models and we are continuing our balancing efforts. This also means that the balance patch we previously promised for the base game has grown significantly…
- WRD - Nation Pack: SADF General Update - 22 July 2021
Hello! We are back with a much-needed update about our upcoming Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: South Africa DLC. We know you are longing to play our new Nation Pack, but we are still some ways off before our upcoming expansion is ready to be released. What? Why? When? Keep reading to find out. A mea culpa Game development is hard, and the way to any kind of launch is beset with roadblocks and detours. We know that some of you were hoping for a release soon - as in next week soon - or alternatively sometime in August. That is, unfortunately, not going to happen. We still need more time with Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: South Africa. Even though unit balancing is done, as most of the unit models, there is plenty of work left. Not only that, August is a very quiet month in which everything slows down. We try to avoid releasing anything in the deepest part of the summer holidays.…
- Nation Pack: South African Helicopter Gameplay - 8 July 2021
Hello! Welcome back to what is currently our last in-depth look at the upcoming Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: South Africa DLC. We will give you a detailed insight into the gameplay and in-game load-outs of the South African Air Force’s (SAAF) rotorcraft in today’s post. As always, everything you read is work in progress and is subject to change. Much like in our previous Air Force Gameplay post, keep in mind that the modeling for each helo’s ammunition and ordnance load-out is not final. We are getting closer to releasing Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: South Africa, but we are still some ways off. When the time is right, we’ll let you know. Hang tight! Supply Our first unit is a true SAAF workhorse. Since 1967, SAAF’s heavy hauler is the French SA.321 Super Frelon. In-game, this cargo helicopter will be in the same category as the American CH-53E or the Soviet Mi-6. Recon Two…
- Nation Pack: South African Air Force Gameplay - 24 June 2021
Hello! We are going to look into the dashing flyboys of the South African Air Force (SAAF) in today’s deep dive of our upcoming Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: South Africa. Let’s see what the fixed-wing inventory looks like in-game. Note that everything you’ll be reading is work in progress and is subject to change. Keep in mind that most of the following plane models are finished, but the plane’s munitions are still being worked on. This is the main reason the planes are not being shown with any missiles, ordnances, or weapon pods under their wings in this post. Bombers and Close Air Support The SAAF kept some of their vintage aircraft operational long into the 80s, using most of these in a dedicated bomber or close air support (CAS) role. In our new expansion, you’ll get to play with several distinct “families,” including some golden oldies: Rocket family: much like South Korea, S…
- Nation Pack: South African Armor Gameplay - 10 June 2021
Hello! Welcome back to another deep dive in our upcoming Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: South Africa.

This week, Armor receives our special gameplay treatment. Let’s look at what you can expect from the South African armored fighting vehicles, from tanks to SPGs, from imported to domestic designs and rare prototypes! Please keep in mind that everything is still very much work in progress and is subject to change. In case you were wondering: the integration and balancing of these units is done in close consultation with a leading South African military expert! Kings of the battlefield First up: the almighty TANK, which in Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: South Africa is brought to you in three distinct South African “families”: Olifant…
- Nation Pack: South African Infantry Gameplay - 27 May 2021
Welcome back! In our previous Wargame: Red Dragon posts, we highlighted the various combat arms of the South African Defense Force as they appear in our upcoming, new Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: South Africa. We’ll go even deeper this time and lift the veil on how each unit will be featured in-game, including their weapon and transport options. First up on the stage, the almighty grunt - Infantry. Mind you, please treat all the following as work in progress - subject to change! Boots on the ground Before we continue, let’s have a happy family shot, and we let you guess who’s who! The SADF Infantry (as “foot soldiers” in general, not just the INF ones) will be composed of: BOKKOP. Your regular soldier, available in all decks (except Airborne). These troops can deploy in all manners of transports (soft-skin, Buffel, Casspir, Ratel, Puma helicopters). They feature R1 (~FN FAL) battl…
