Bohemia Interactive announced two games on Tuesday: arma 4the follow-up to his military franchise and Arma Reforgera standalone “preview” game using Bohemia’s new tech engine Enfusion. Arma Reforger will be released in Early Access on Tuesday, Bohemia said in a press release. It is the first time that an Arma game will be released simultaneously on Windows PC and Xbox.
details on arma 4 themselves are thin — the company hasn’t shared a release date or footage. But it sounds like Arma Reforger
Arma Reforger plays out the same setting on Everon in the 1980s Arma: Cold War Attack. There are two multiplayer modes in it: Conflict and Game Master. Conflict is your default team-based multiplayer mode, in which players work together to “capture strategic positions from the enemy,” Bohemia said: It’s about things like building bases, shooting other players, and completing various tasks, either as an American or as Soviet fighter. Bohema said there’s also a “smaller independent squad” for players to choose from that has their own gear to draw inspiration from arma
Game Master is more of a platform for users to share mods; Mods can only be created by PC players, but console players can also access them. It comes with some software tools called Workbench, which Bohemia says provide the mod community with their development tools.
“Any user with a good working knowledge of C# scripting should be able to add custom AI behavior, audio and visual elements, or even completely new game mechanics,” said Bohemia. “Artists can also import their creations using intuitive, streamlined workflows. Essentially, resourceful players will be able to explore Enfusion to the limit and receive a crash course in Arma 4 modding well ahead of schedule.”
Bohemia said it will last Arma Reforger with “continued support” even during arma 4 becomes a bigger priority. There’s no full release date for the game, but it will eventually exit early access.
