Black Squad

Black Squad is a free-to-play military FPS that has been operating as a continuously updated live service game since its Steam launch on June 26, 2019. VALOFE actively operates the game with a very high cadence of updates — the news feed shows consistent activity throughout 2025 and 2026, including weapon releases, seasonal events, maintenance patches, and bug fixes. The most recent developer communication is the August 13, 2026 update post (NEWS-9), which introduces new weapon skins (GROZA SUNKISSED MEMOIR EX and G36 SUNKISSED MEMOIR EX), a 14-day attendance event, and "One-Time Big Time Bundles" — all running through August 27, 2026. An emergency maintenance on August 3, 2026 addressed VCoins functionality issues. The developer also upgraded their anti-cheat system from GameGuard to BattlEye on May 21, 2026, a significant infrastructure investment signaling continued long-term operation. The game's monetization structure is built around rotating timed weapon sales with random boxes, a Battle Pass system, seasonal attendance events, and an in-game currency economy — a design that is meant to run indefinitely. New weapon skins are introduced on an approximately bi-weekly schedule, with multiple overlapping limited-time sales periods active at any given time. The developer has never indicated any intention to end this content cycle.
