At the heart of Forest Shadows is an expanded Seelow Heights map, introducing a densely wooded zone inspired by the forests of Brandenburg. The new "Wald" mission plunges players into intense close-quarters combat on the forest floor, in a small town’s narrow streets, and along its treacherous outskirts. Available in Confrontation, Destruction, and Invasion modes, this mission demands tactical flexibility and careful use of the terrain, while recreating the look and feel of the last battles of World War II in Europe.
Two new elite squads are now available to the players, and both will perfectly fit into the forest battles. Legendary British commandos are armed with Thompson M1 submachine guns, while the German Werwolves, a special unit trained to carry out operations behind enemy lines, are equipped with StG 44 assault rifles with suppressor and camouflage gear.
The update also introduces four new weapons and five new vehicles, expanding the tactical variety and customization options for squads. Alongside this, players can now switch the nationality of their soldiers – choosing between German and Italian identities for the Axis squads, or American and British for the Allies – complete with localized voice lines, appearance changes, and name sets.
A major upgrade of the game’s effects system has transformed the way battles look and feel. Every small-arms hit now produces realistic impact visuals, while tank explosions, bomb detonations, artillery strikes, and fuel tank bursts unfold in breathtaking detail. Ricocheting projectiles have been reworked to reflect authentic armor interactions, enhanced by revamped sound design that heightens immersion. Even the skies have been touched by this update, with new visual effects for anti-aircraft fire and dogfights amplifying the drama of air combat.
More information on the “Forest Shadows” update is available on the official website.
