  Development Update: Online Multiplayer is here!

  Ferrous is participating in DevGAMM Lisbon 2026! Our game has also reached another major development milestone coinciding with our latest patch release for Windows, Mac, and Linux versions of Ferrous: Digital Edition.Multiplayer is now implemented, bringing player-vs-player battles into the core game alongside the existing single-player framework. With that foundation in place, a much broader range of battlefield content is now being integrated and supported.New and expanded unit types now include:• Gunwalkers • Hardsuits • Infantry • Land Vehicles • Air Vehicles • The first Airships • Installations & BuildingsThe game now also supports multiple Game Types, allowing battles to use different objectives, deployment rules, and match structures rather than every scenario functioning as a standard engagement.The presentation layer has taken a major step forward as well.

Campaigns will provide a framewo...
