Evaluation
Armor Clash II launched on April 4, 2017 and received a solid run of post-launch updates. The developer shipped two major content milestones: VR support via a free DLC on June 1, 2017, and the Version 2.0 update on June 18, 2018 which added an entire airfield system, fixed-wing aircraft, new units, and a new map. The last developer communication specific to this game was a feature/polish patch (Version 2.5) on December 18, 2018, covering UI improvements and graphical upgrades. There have been no updates, announcements, or communications about Armor Clash II since that date.
The most recent news post from this developer, dated October 17, 2025, is actually an announcement for a brand-new game called "Power of the Horde" — confirming the developer has moved on to a new project rather than continuing to develop Armor Clash II. This is consistent with the update history going silent after December 2018.
The store description mentions "continuous update, new units, maps for free," but this appears to reflect the game's original intent during its active update period rather than a current commitment — no updates have shipped since December 18, 2018, and the developer's attention has clearly shifted to a new title. All DLC (the free VR add-on) has been released. There is no announced future content, no unreleased DLC, and no ongoing update cadence. The game is complete as of its final patch.
Evidence
Developer announced and launched a new game, 'Power of the Horde', indicating their focus has shifted away from Armor Clash II entirely.
Version 2.5 patch released with UI and graphical improvements — the last official update to Armor Clash II.

Story Line:
In 2035, the Artificial Intelligence technology got a qualitative leap. Top scientists of the world completed the most ambitious project of human being, the Global Artificial Intelligence Assembly, known as 'Gaia'.
Gaia is build on the cloud. She connects all devices from cell phones on the hand to satellites in the space. Gaia collects all information, from which kind of hamburger you like last week, to all the stock deals in past 10 years, then analyses the mass data by assembling computing resources all over the world, and finally calculate the 'ultimate solution' for every human being. For the common people, Gaia will tell he or she what to do for every minute, to eat which food or read which article. It is not an order, but people always find that by following Gaia's suggestion it always benefits most. For the army, Gaia play as the commander, she can calculate the best move for each soldier on the field at the same time, and finally lead them to victory, without anyone wounded.
Not like in Hollywood movies, Gaia did not build Skynet to eliminate human, or build her drone army to conquer the world. Followed by the first principle in her source code, "Help but not replace human", Gaia served human well. But the real conflict come from human them self: Many people realized that because of Gaia, human do not think any more, and finally abandoned their freedom. At the beginning, it is just some kind of idealism, but when AI let more and more people lose their job, it became rebellion. Most of them are elites in the past, but become useless when Ai came: No fund manager is useless because AI always give the best financing solution; Gaia can command soldiers directly through the holo-glass, so officers are not needed. Even the scientists who make Gaia are not escaped, a scientific AI study matrix can do all the life-time work of a professor, but only in an hour.
Finally, those elites in the past decided to fight against Gaia, but soon they found all devices and weapons are controlled by Gaia. Cameras and drones spreads everywhere in cities, human forces even had no place to hide. So they banished themselves to abandoned industrial cities, they rebuild factories, using the technologies of 80s, which seems to be out dated but Gaia can not connect to. They re-active tanks and attack helicopters in the steel cemetery, rebuild battleships of WW2, some report said that they even rebuild the space shuttle platform. At last, they build up a settlement and their armies, without Gaia's control, they called themselves "Steel Alliance".
Now, the war between Gaia and Steel Alliance is inevitable, no matter which side you are, good luck, commander:)
