To kick off our 20th Anniversary celebration, new playlists and rewards are available now in E-Day.   ⚔️Guardian returns to Versus. Only one leader makes it out alive.   👑 In Horde Siege, For the Queen, the supply cache is disabled, leaving you and the squad to rely on your loadouts.

We have deployed a content update this morning for our 20th Anniversary Event which starts tomorrow.   This update also includes further improvements to game stability across PC, XBOX and handhelds as well as fixes to missing War Journal entries and completed Achievements, such as the "This is my Rifle" achievement. Missing entries and achievement are granted the next time you sign in.    We also fixed a few Campaign blocking bugs and an issue where characters could sometimes appear as skeletons.   Later this week, we'll share an update on weapon tuning changes.

This morning we've deployed a small patch for E-Day. The update includes a fix for an exploit that allowed players to disable Smoke Grenade effects, fixes for multiple movement-related crashes and numerous improvements to stability and optimization across PC, XBOX and handhelds. We've also fixed an issue in Horde Siege where the death summary could display incorrect damage taken and weapon information.

The imulsion-scorched remains of the once heroic Sergeant Valen leave a lasting impression that even the best of heroes don’t always make it out alive. Leading the valiant example that a true hero never yields to the enemy, he and his squad remained defiant to the bitter end. Check out the Hero’s End bundle in the store now.

Halloween arrives in E-Day. Play limited time modes and missions to earn rewards.    🎃 Don your pumpkin head in Versus Trick-or-Treat and battle for the Jack-o-Cannon as each team vies for special weapons (and tricks) hidden within pumpkins scattered throughout the map.
