- Version 1.0.9.254 and what's happening next - 2 September 2026
Hello executives, I've released a small patch which fixes a few little bugs: Fixed rare bug where unit goes invincible.Fixed AI not constructing correct amount of shipyards in multiplayer games.Fixed a button interaction bug where sometimes a button would remember the player if they were teleported away near it.I also felt now was a good time to let you know what's going on.After the open testing of Hostile Takeover and going over the feedback I came to the realisation that it needed a lot more work. The work specifically would have impacted the original game mode mechanics and I felt that I couldn't do that again.Trying to yeet another game mode into the game wasn't working as I felt I was going to need to make more changes to the galaxy mode to try and keep the 2 modes synced and that was going to cause more problems.So I've decided to start fresh with a new game.This has allowed me t…

Hello executives, Just a small patch today to fix a few little issues. Fixed bug reloading game and the bulkhead doors stayed close. Re-enabled efficiency levers in Tech facility.

Cheers, Rob
- Version 1.0.9.247 - 15 June 2026
Hello Executives,Today's patch fixes a few little bugs and also adds some requested new sandbox options:Full resourcesFull researchFull upgradesFully promotedFast constructionAdjust both unit caps from 100-600Adjust starting outpost cap from 0-5Two words of warning, the game was developed with a cap of 200 and going above this may affect the game's ability to function smoothly both in single and multiplayer so raising this is not recommended.Turning on any of those options also apply to the AI so you might find it a little extra difficult when fully promoted and access to infinite resources.Big thank you to all those who have tested Hostile Takeover as I got some good feedback from the experience. While I go over the results and decide the best path forward I've removed the Hostile Takeover coming soon button from the game.Cheers,Rob

Hello Executives,Got a great patch for you all today which adds features and changes you have been asking for.Executrons can now join at the start of a match.When a multiplayer game is hosted Executrons can now choose which team they want to be in right from the start, meaning everyone jumps in together at the same time, no more waiting around!There's also a small change for those playing as CEO where you'll now claim your company before joining rather than slotting straight in. A minor extra step but all part of making the multiplayer experience better for everyone!And to top it all off before the chaos begins, there's a brand new chat box so you can sort out roles ahead of time.Other game changesAs requested the corridor cap has been removed and power and costs have been adjusted accordingly.Plasma bombs now fire forward to make it easier to shoot things.Gateway miners built by comman…

- Version 1.0.9.218 - 6 February 2026
Hello executives, Little patch today fixing a few bugs but also makes a few quality of life adjustments.Some players noticed that ships spread across the battlefield struggled to group up at a single point as they tried to hold their formation over such a large distance. In this new patch they now all move to the point you selected and find a suitable position in a line. Holding down right mouse button to get them to face a certain direction has been kept in. Ground vehicles also now move in a similar way and when attacking buildings behave better.Also as requested I've added in more graphic controls so you can finetune the settings to match your system needs, next time you run the game please check your graphical settings as they may have changed.A full list of changes below:Added new graphical settings to the options menuImproved ground vehicle movement and precision when attackingPre…

- Hostile Takeover Sneak Peek - 2 July 2025
Hello Executives, I've been getting a lot of questions lately about when the next update is coming out, and while I can't give an exact release date just yet, I wanted to give you another sneak peek at Hostile Takeover show you where things stand at the moment.Hostile Takeover is a new DLC that will launch alongside the mega update for Executive Assault 2. It's a fast-paced, action-focused game mode designed for players who want to jump straight into the action without the longer playtime or star system expansion of the main game with smaller intense maps.In this video, my Executron friend and I are teaming up with the AI CEO, who's handling all the RTS management while we take care of business in FPS mode. One of my main goals right now is to make sure you can really feel your impact on the match and in this round, we definitely managed to turn the tide of battle.Enjoy!!
