Greetings, Battle-Brothers!
March has proven to be an exceptionally productive period for our team. Between deploying critical hotfixes and finalizing the upcoming Patch 13, we have been hard at work refining the experience. Beyond technical updates, we want to directly address your recent feedback and provide a significant update regarding the Chapter Voice Pack DLC.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s happening in the forge.
Technical Refinements: Hotfixes 12.1, 12.2, and 12.3 🔧
Earlier this month, we deployed Hotfix 12.1 and Hotfix 12.2. These updates focused on enhancing server stability, rectifying issues with Techmarine perks, and providing necessary power shifts to the Sniper and Vanguard classes.
Our work continues with Hotfix 12.3, which is currently in the final stages of preparation. This update will further bolster game stability, and we will notify the community the moment it goes live.
The Road Ahead: Patch 13 & Beyond
Our primary focus has shifted toward the launch of Patch 13. A major highlight of this update is a comprehensive overhaul of Siege Mode. We are introducing several key enhancements to improve the tactical depth and pacing of this game mode:
- Expanded Arsenal: New purchasable items to facilitate diverse strategic approaches.
- Revitalized Combat Flow: A reworked difficulty curve designed for shorter, more high-intensity sessions.
- Earned Prestige: Participating in Siege mode will now award accolades to players.
In addition to these gameplay changes, Patch 13 will introduce a wealth of content, including a fresh PvE mission, expanded customization for the Techmarine, three new Heroic weapon variants, a brand-new weapon and equipment set, and the highly anticipated Iron Hands Chapter Pack. We are also introducing a secret new customization feature we think you’ll love.
Furthermore, we recognize that our previous roadmap is outdated. We are currently finalizing an updated development schedule that accurately reflects our current goals, which we expect to share later this month.
Addressing the Chapter Voice Pack 🗨️
A personal note from our Game Director regarding recent DLC feedback:
“We have closely monitored your feedback regarding the Chapter Voice Pack DLC. It is clear that this content failed to meet the expectations of our community, and for that, we sincerely apologize. Our priority is always to deliver high-quality content that feels substantial.
To provide some context: the pack was designed around ‘battle chatter’—dynamic lines that trigger during combat across seven languages. While each character features over 450 lines, it does not include the 1,500+ lines of scripted, mission-specific dialogue found in Operations. We realize that this distinction wasn’t made clear enough, resulting in an experience that feels incomplete. Due to production and localization constraints, we cannot retroactively add these thousands of scripted lines.
To make things right, we are expanding the voice pack to PvP and adding an option to disable Ultramarine voice-overs when mission-specific lines are missing. Most importantly, we have decided to make the Chapter Voice Pack free for everyone and offer full refunds to all current owners.“
— Dmitriy Grigorenko, Game Director
