02From the game, October 2026

Real ground. Real weather. Real hours.

Khasab, Mogadishu, Mosul, the Korengal, the Fulda Gap, Al Anbar, Bardufoss: real places, built from the real ground, under the weather and the hour it actually is there. Dawn mist in the valleys, dust behind the trucks, snow on the roofs. Then the shooting starts.

  • A first-person view at noon: gloved hands holding an M4 carbine at the ready, its flip-up iron sights up, a low block wall and palm groves ahead on the sand at Khasab.
    Lock and loadYour rifle, your fireteam, a real town ahead. Every round you fire is yours to answer for.
  • The Korengal valley at dawn from an Apache cockpit: cloud above, mist filling the valleys below, the ridge lines dark green.
    Korengal, first lightMist pours through the valley as you lift off. By the time it burns away, they'll know you're coming.
  • Khasab from the foothills in a hazy afternoon: palm groves, low concrete blocks and the Musandam mountains under a heavy sky.
    KhasabThe real town under the real mountains, at the hour it is there right now.
  • A grenade going off at the foot of a low block wall: a fireball, sparks thrown high, the rifle in the foreground.
    Frag outHe thinks that wall will save him.
  • The same spot seconds later: the wall gone, its broken blocks scattered across the sand, smoke drifting off.
    It didn'tWalls come down and stay down, for every player on the battlefield.
  • A dim orange desert at twilight with a fireteam standing near a truck and a town on the horizon.
    Al Anbar, last lightThe convoy halts at dusk. Something on the road ahead doesn't look right.
  • The M4 at the ready in the last light at Khasab: a pink sky, the sand gone brown, a far fire's smoke rising behind the palms.
    Khasab, duskThe sun goes down. The fight doesn't.
  • A rifle scope view: mil-dot reticle on a man by a low wall at 235 metres, range and wind readouts beside the glass.
    235 metresHold for the wind. Breathe out. Squeeze.
  • Heavy snowfall around a two-storey building and pine trees under a white sky.
    BardufossSnow on the pines, snow on the roofs, snow on your rifle. Same war, colder.
  • An AH-64 Apache seen from behind and above, flying low over Khasab in the late afternoon, its rotor a soft disc, the town and palm groves ahead.
    Gunfighter inboundCall for fire and an Apache comes in low over the rooftops, flown by the AI or by your friend.
  • A UH-60 Black Hawk in desert camouflage seen from behind, flying over the rooftops of Khasab toward the palm groves.
    Your rideThe Black Hawk that drops you in and pulls you out. Fly it yourself, or hang on in the back.
  • Soldiers jumping down from a Black Hawk's open door onto the sand, rotor dust swirling around them, the rifle in the foreground.
    Hit the ground runningSkids down, doors open, go. Seconds later the bird lifts away and the ground is all yours.
  • The Apache pilot's seat: his gloved hand on the stick, the flight display on the left screen and the thermal sight's live picture of the town on the right, smoke rising beyond the canopy.
    Hunter's seatThermal sight on the right-hand screen, stick in your fist, the town under the nose. Find them before they find your squad.
  • A Mi-24 Hind attack helicopter in two-tone camouflage parked on the sand at Khasab, rocket pods under its stub wings, the mountains behind.
    They have air tooThe enemy flies a Hind. If you hear rotors you don't recognise, get under cover.
  • The HQ planning screen: a satellite map of Khasab with the start points and two objectives marked, the operation's settings beside it.
    Your war, your planOr take HQ: pick the ground, mark the objectives, send the squads and helicopters in. Then see if your plan survives contact.
  • HQ's drone feed in white-hot thermal over the ruined old city of Mosul: the squad marked in blue brackets, five enemy fighters marked in red, a crosshair in the middle and the sensor readout along the top.
    Eyes overheadHQ's drone circles high over Mosul's old city. Blue is your squad. Red is everyone waiting for them.

Captured in the game. Still in development - it only gets better from here.

03Combined arms, without compromise

Every crew fights the same operation.

Convergence is not a shooter with vehicles bolted on. Infantry gets a real infantry simulation. Pilots get a real cockpit. Commanders plan, task and react while every crew fights the same operation in real time.

Suppress the air defense and the helicopters get through. Lose the armor and the ground assault stalls. Miss the extraction and a successful rescue becomes a failed mission, and real infantry players lose their ride.

  1. 01
    OverwatchFind the threat

    Spots the downed crew and the air defense covering them.

  2. 02
    Top BrassBuild the plan

    Tasks every crew from one map, and owns the call.

  3. 03
    Fast MoverClear the corridor

    Suppresses the SAM site so the helicopters can get in.

  4. 04
    Night StalkerInsert the team

    Drops the squad and has to be back at the LZ on time. Late, and they're stranded with the casualties.

  5. 05
    VanguardFinish the fight

    Fights to the crew and carries them to the pickup.

04One order, seven languages

The commander says it once. Every seat hears it their way.

Intent goes in once and is translated for each pack in the mission. The pilot gets a 9-line, the gun line gets a fire mission and the squad gets a waypoint. Nobody has to learn anyone else's job.

Top Brass · Intent SEIZE  OBJ SALT  40R DQ 2140 0870  NLT H+30  ROE: WEAPONS TIGHT "Take the port road junction before their reinforcements get there. Positive ID before you shoot."

    Illustrative example. Grid, callsigns and times are placeholders; order formats follow each pack's translator.

    05Choose your station

    One platform.
    Seven ways in.

    Each pack is built to stand on its own, with its own roles, rank ladder and look. Bring it into a joint operation and your specialty becomes part of something much larger.

    06The battle is connected

    Not a lobby.
    A command post.

    Live positions. Human and AI assets. Orders over the radio. Requests for fire, extraction, reconnaissance and reinforcement, all inside the same mission state.

    Tactical net

    Every pack speaks the same operational language. Push-to-talk voice between every seat, and orders read out over the net.

    World state

    What one crew sees and does changes the fight for the rest: contacts, craters, casualties, the clock and the weather.

    Real ground

    Seven theatres built from real elevation, land cover, aerial photographs and map data: Khasab and Musandam, Mogadishu, Mosul, Korengal, the Fulda Gap, Al Anbar and Bardufoss. Buildings stand on their real footprints with their real roofs.

    Never a full lobby

    AI fills any open seat, and the enemy is an AI commander using the same order pipeline a human would.

    After action

    See what happened, why it mattered and where the mission turned. Rank is earned per pack.

    07Where it stands
