Evaluation
Valor & Victory launched on June 17, 2021 and has since received five paid DLC packs, all of which have now shipped: Stalingrad (February 3, 2022), Shield of Cholm (July 7, 2022), Arnhem (September 29, 2022), Kursk (September 12, 2023), and Pacific (December 5, 2023). This established a clear cadence of DLC releases roughly every 5–12 months from launch through the end of 2023.
The most recent DLC — Pacific — released on December 5, 2023 and is the last entry in the DLC list. No unreleased DLC is listed on the store. The store description references "other DLC's being continuously released," but this language was written during the active DLC phase and has not been updated to reflect any newly announced content. There have been no developer news posts announcing a new DLC, roadmap, or any future content since the Pacific launch on December 5, 2023 — a gap of over 30 months as of today, June 26, 2026.
The historical release cadence between DLC drops was never longer than about 12 months. The current silence of over 30 months substantially exceeds that pattern, with no announcements, teasers, or roadmap posts to suggest additional content is in the pipeline. All five DLC packs are released, and the developer has not communicated any plans beyond the Pacific release. The game appears to be content-complete as of December 5, 2023.
Evidence
Valor & Victory: Pacific released — the fifth and most recent DLC, adding Japan and China factions with new scenarios set in the Pacific theater. No future DLC announced.
All five DLC packs (Stalingrad, Shield of Cholm, Arnhem, Kursk, Pacific) are marked as released. No unreleased DLC is listed on the store.

About this game
Valor & Victory is a fast-playing, easy to learn World War II squad-level game system. Based on the original Valor & Victory board game, the digital edition provides you with an accessible and deep challenge, developed for classic tabletop game lovers.
With 19 scenarios based around real events shortly after the Normandy Landings in 1944, the game challenges you to achieve different objectives: eliminate the enemy, capture objectives, or exit certain units off the map. And with the new random scenario generator, mission setups and objectives can be endless.
Additional DLC's are also available allowing for new armies and battles to be played, including the battle for Stalingrad, with other DLC's being continuously released.
Valor & Victory is a complete WWII wargaming system, covering infantry and armored combat, close assaults, armored overruns, fortifications, and much more.
• Command: Automatically rally your troops, split or merge your squads and exchange weapons. In the command phase, you lay the foundations for a successful turn.
• Fire: Check your line of sight and firepower and prepare to set the battlefield on fire. If you have any eligible weapon, you can fire smoke instead of attacking and gain extra protection for your units.
• Move: Move any of your units that did not attack during the previous phase and try not to be taken by surprise: hostile opportunity fire may be just around the corner.
• Enemy Defense: Be ready to defend your squad. Enemies that did not opportunity fire will have their last chance to harm your units.
• Advance: Advance any of your units by one hex or conduct a close assault with your infantry forces.
You will roll the dice to determine the combat results, but your luck is in your hands: wise use of terrain, covers, leaders, hindrance and many more modifiers will greatly improve your chances of success.
You also have the ability to customise your missions by altering the difficulty level, the number of game turns, or choosing whether Fog of War is on or not.

COMMAND, FIRE, MOVE, DEFEND, ADVANCE. REPEAT
Just like the original board game, each turn is divided into phases:• Command: Automatically rally your troops, split or merge your squads and exchange weapons. In the command phase, you lay the foundations for a successful turn.
• Fire: Check your line of sight and firepower and prepare to set the battlefield on fire. If you have any eligible weapon, you can fire smoke instead of attacking and gain extra protection for your units.
• Move: Move any of your units that did not attack during the previous phase and try not to be taken by surprise: hostile opportunity fire may be just around the corner.
