Evaluation

Warside launched on April 14, 2025 and has been in robust, sustained post-launch development. On May 5, 2025, developer Andy published a formal roadmap [NEWS-8] outlining a series of free updates culminating in version 2.0, which is set to deliver a new co-op campaign and additional bonus material. As of June 2026, that 2.0 milestone has not yet arrived. The team has delivered consistently on everything leading up to it: Update 1.1 (May 12, 2025) added Skirmish Mode and the Commander Dossier; Update 1.2 (May 23, 2025) overhauled the AI; Update 1.3 (June 25, 2025) introduced Community Maps and Steam Achievements; Update 1.4 (August 13, 2025) added 4-player multiplayer teams and a new lobby; Update 1.5 (October 17, 2025) brought a major balance pass and campaign refinements; and Update 1.6 (March 18, 2026) — the "Creators' Update" — overhauled the mission editor and skirmish browsing experience. A follow-up patch, 1.6.1, landed on April 30, 2026, with additional editor features and explicit notes about backend work being done to prepare for upcoming console launches. The developer's track record of delivering roughly one major update every 1–3 months remains intact, and the April 2026 patch notes directly reference ongoing preparations for console releases — a clear signal that active development is continuing. The promised co-op campaign at version 2.0 remains the outstanding commitment from the original roadmap.
