'Warside' Development Roadmap Reveals Skirmishes, Custom Player Maps, and More, v2.0 Brings Co-Op Campaign

by Rainier on May 5, 2025 @ 10:36 a.m. PDT

Warside is a fast-paced turn-based tactics game with a single-player story campaign, multiplayer support, and a built-in map editor so the fight for victory never ends.

Step into the battlefield with Warside, a modern iteration on the classic turn-based-tactics formula. Experience an epic story mode campaign. Choose between legendary Commanders, each with unique playstyles and devastating Battle Powers. Master the battlefield with a vast array of terrain and units. All brought to life with beautiful pixel art.

Choose your Commander, assemble your forces, and battle your way to victory.

Embrace the best of pixel graphics and turn-based tactical style from beloved wargames of the past in Warside. Take charge as one of fourteen powerful Commanders, each touting distinct passive skills and Battle Powers. Wield these boons to change the tide of war and ensure victory through 30+ missions in a robust single-player Story Campaign.

March a variety of specialist infantry into the thick of battle, including snipers, medics, mortar teams, and more to take opponents down and keep allies standing when needed most. Deploy more than twenty-five unit types including artillery, tanks, submarines, and warships to control land, air, and sea as ground forces, aircraft, and naval units respectively.

Weather icy snow environments, sandy deserts, toxic wastelands, and even a secret lab hiding lurking enemies. Skirmish solo, recruit fellow commanders in local and online co-op, or challenge friends and foes alike in multiplayer battles in local and online PvP battles. For the ultimate creative touch in battle, design maps with the built-in mission editor and become victorious over all Warside has to offer!


Developer LAVABIRD and publisher First Break Labs revealed a new Warside roadmap, detailing large updates, which will culminate with the addition of the highly-anticipated co-op campaign in Version 2.0. 

The roadmap to V2.0 begins with V1.1 which will introduce skirmish missions, custom player maps, a commander dossier, and localization bug fixes. V1.2 will include a map rating system for skirmish missions, "Brutal" campaign rebalancing, and AI re-work. V1.3 will add Steam Achievements, a custom map server, multiplayer Fog of War, and UI improvements. V2.0 launches the co-op campaign as well as new single player campaign content. 

V1.1 will be released at the end of this week. The following updates are expected to happen fortnightly.
