Nillers 436 Posted November 20, 2020 Quote Quote FROM: High CommandTO: Arma 3 UsersINFO: Art of War DLC / Creator DLC Updates, Live Ops StatusPRECEDENCE: Flash SITUATION We are rapidly reaching the end of a mad year, and so we feel this is a good time to inspect the current state of Arma 3 development. Offering a distraction from the frequently grim reality around us, gaming has certainly seen a massive boost this year. Arma 3 is no exception. We are constantly humbled to see how many of you continue to play, and to welcome the hundreds of thousands of new recruits. The game is meanwhile in a Live Ops mode, rather than active development. Even so, this year saw two primary platform updates with 1.98 Old Man and more recently 2.00, on which we'll reflect a bit in this report. And we'll be looking ahead, providing updates on what's still to come: Art of War charity DLC, Creator DLC, and more platform support. We suspect to be seeing plenty of comments asking about the future of the Arma series, but we hope there are still many of you interested to learn about Arma 3's extended tour of duty. Thank you for the splendid support and stay safe out there! o7 Full SITREP 4 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nillers 436 Posted September 14, 2021 Quote Quote FROM: High CommandTO: Arma 3 UsersINFO: Creator DLC, Live Ops Status, Update 2.06 Preview PRECEDENCE: Flash SITUATION Hello to all players and creators in the Arma 3 community! It has been some time since we last provided an overview of the state of Arma 3 development. We have just celebrated the 8th anniversary since initial release, and even in its 9th year, there still are many thousands of first-timers entering the Armaverse. That is incredibly cool, but we can also imagine many have not read through old reports and do not know about our actual support plans. So let us take a look back at the major milestones during 2021, check in with the Live Ops crew, and explain our perspective on the future of Arma 3. Buckle up, this is going to be a long one!

DnA 5154 Posted September 19, 2022 Quote FROM: High CommandTO: Arma 3 Users INFO: 9th Anniversary, Live Ops Status PRECEDENCE: Flash SITUATION Wow, another year has flown by since we last provided an official status update on Arma 3's Live Ops development. And that also means we're celebrating the game's 9th anniversary this month. 9 years since the release of 1.0 "Gamma", let that sink in! Even more special is the fact that a lot of new players are still joining the ranks. Welcome to you all! We hope you enjoy the vast amount of content available to you, official and from the community alike. You may not know this, but we used to publish these blogs every single week during prime-time development. Things have slowed down, as we've discussed in our preview reports, but the platform is still supported by a small crew. There have continued to be platform updates and many experimental branch releases. And the Creator DLC program is still seeing plenty of activity too. In the broader Armaverse, much has happened of course. The Enfusion era of Arma was started with the early access release of Arma Reforger. Many of Bohemia's developers are working on those projects now, working very hard to stabilize and expand that young platform. In this report we will try to provide a status update on how Arma 3's development was influenced, if at all. Read on and see you in-game!

DnA 5154 Posted September 28, 2023 Quote FROM: High Command TO: Arma 3 Users INFO: 10th Anniversary, Update 2.14, Creator DLC PRECEDENCE: Flash SITUATION It has been a full decade since the release of Arma 3 1.00. For a game to be thriving for such an incredible length of time is quite remarkable. Almost coincidentally, those 10 years have also brought more than 10 million players into the fold. We are all very much humbled by this success. Before we start recapping the past year of Arma 3's development, and to look at the current state of things, we'd like to take a moment to say thanks. There are just so many people who've contributed across all phases of the game's life so far, so here we go... First of all, we cannot forget about the early days of Bohemia Interactive and previous installments of Arma. Much of what has been accomplished in Arma 3 stands on the foundations laid by those legendary developers. It's easy to point out aging parts of the Real Virtuality engine by current standards, but we can all agree that it has allowed a sandbox of a scope still not often seen in the games industry. Secondly, we give thanks to the first team in Brno, who started early pre-production under codename "Futura", as an expansion to Arma 2. The final direction of Arma 3 may have changed a fair bit, and yet they provided us with many of the core components and champion assets. Next, we give our thanks to every single person who helped during the game's core development, kicking off with its Early Access phase and running through all DLC projects since. That also goes for the external Creator DLC teams, who were brave enough to commit to a pioneering program and have brought enormous diversity to the game's settings, in time, and place. It's also important to acknowledge all the supporting BI departments, without whom releasing any game would be impossible. Massive kudos to our Operations, Publishing, Marketing, Online Services, Customer Support, HR, IT, Legal, Finance, Back Office and Facility Management heroes. And we also cannot forget the various external partners, who have offered advise, consultancy, and other important services. If you're curious about the actual names behind many of these groups of people, do check out the full rolling credits in the game. Then we come to another essential group of people, yourself included: the community. Having a great game that we enjoy ourselves is one thing, but you have kept it healthy and strong to this day. A talented group of modders have expanded the platform beyond anything we might imagine. Scenario designers have produced countless hours of extra playable content and shared it on Steam Workshop. Unit leaders have organized amazing multiplayer operations of all flavors. Server administrators have provided stable places for players to get together. Moderators have dedicated their time to keeping online communities fun to be a part of. Creators have excited the rest of the world about the game by means of artwork, videos and livestreams. Supporter Edition purchasers have given us early trust in our direction. And every single player of Arma 3 has made this an unbelievably splendid decade for us all. Our heartfelt thanks to you all!
