- Future of Soldat 2 - 25 September 2024
First of all sorry for my absence on the forums and Discord but as you know I've been making a different game called Maniac for the last 2 years. This is my job and how I make money. But now, that the game is out I had to consider if and how to return to Soldat 2 development. I wholeheartedly want to thank for your support, gratitude and participation in S2's community. The game was made and shaped because of you. I'm very proud of it and my deepest wish is that millions of players would enjoy S2 because I believe it is one of the most satisfying experiences you can get when you are in total flow immersed in Soldat's movement and shooting mechanics. Unfortunately, the reality is modern audiences will probably never grasp it. This is because of two things: Marketing and Demand. I've learnt a lot during the last two years about how the game market works and thanks to that I've successfull…

- SURVIVAL UPDATE - 7 January 2023
SURVIVAL Survival mode known from S1 and from games like Counter-Strike is finally here in S2! It's a modifier so you can try it with all the gamemodes (especially Domination!). Just select it from the modifiers in the Lobby menu and off you go! NEW RANKED MODES Together with Norbo we are bringing a massive new change to ranked game modes. We can now have a totally unique custom game mode for ranked with a dedicated leaderboard. A "playlist" is a ranked setting, e.g. CTF 3v3 is one playlist, DM Knife Only size 5 is another playlist. Players have separate ranks on each playlist, It's not shared between CTF 2v2 and CTF 3v3 for example. Also, numerous bug fixes and improvments have been done to make ranked games more stable (thanks to Norbo and jrgp).
