Second Rearmed Playtest is open now!
2026-08-15Greetings, Commanders! Today marks the start of the second open playtest for Theatre of War: Rearmed. The playtest will run for two weeks, from August 14th to August 28th. Registration is still open, and you can gain access via the game's main Steam page. The main focus of this iteration is multiplayer. Compared to the first playtest, 3 new maps have been added. The full version of the game will feature around 100 different maps for your online battles. Another important improvement is the way player connections work. Previously, server discovery was handled through 1C Games servers; now it has been moved to Steam's infrastructure. And of course, we listened to your feedback from the previous playtest and did some "bug fixing and polishing," addressing and improving areas that caused inconvenience.

Also, if you'd like to revisit the original classics while waiting for the final release of Rearmed, now is the perfect time to do so, as all Theatre of War games are currently available with an 80% discount.
