Greetings Soldiers!
Since Fantahorn Studio’s early access launch of Front Defense: Heroes in December, the team has constantly been fine-tuning the experience based on your feedback. Today, the WW2 multiplayer game released a robust update, adding new maps, features, and weapons to the arsenal. See below for a full list of the updates and make sure to recruit a friend as you head into battle to test out the new features!
New Map:
- The new map “Beach Invasion” features a heavily fortified beach landing. The map will support both Team Deathmatch and Attack/Defend game modes.

Game Settings:
- Customized Skins
- Players can now change the look of their in-game soldier with five new skins for both the Axis and the Allies.

- Games will no longer close after the host leaves as a new host will now be designated after the original host leaves the game.
Weapons:
- Smoke grenades and bayonets have been added to the armory.

Balance Changes:
- Safety pin has been removed from the German grenade and replaced with a historically accurate string pull of the m24 grenade.

- Players can now hear the collision sounds of grenades or bayonets when they hit the ground or houses.
Eager to test out the new update? Join the Front Defense: Heroes Discord channel to find other soldiers to play with at any time. Fantahorn will also be hosting a “Play with the Devs” hour on June 14th at 8pm PST for those looking for a real challenge!
