Spanel also said this would be reflected in the amount of post-launch support the game gets. “At this point, our aim is more towards the fidelity, so we do not try to overcome the scale and scope of Arma 3,” Spanel explained. It’s not just the new engine it’s also new tools and online system.” Forging early accessĪrma Reforger might seem light on content to players not as interested in making modes or mods, but Spaniel made it clear that this limited scope is intentional. “We really need users to be using it because it’s extremely complex. “We are building a new ecosystem on a completely different game, so for our users, it will take some to accommodate to it,” Spanel said. By releasing Arma Reforger, the studio can ensure its community of modders are familiar with the Enufsion Engine ahead of Arma 4. While PC players are the only ones that can make mods on the Enfusion Enginr, Bohemia plans to help players bring the best mods to Xbox. After that, hardcore modders with programming knowledge can dive into the Enfusion Engine and create modded content for Arma Reforger via Enfusion’s Workbench development tools. It should get players acquainted with making content on this new engine, even on Xbox. In Game Master, players can create modes and experiences within Arma Reforger. For players looking to create, Game Master is the mode to try. Without Arma and its community, we would’ve never had games like the highly influential DayZ. That said, the series has always been just as much about the community creations as the game itself. Conflict is a PvP mode where two teams deploy onto Everon as Americans and Soviets and fight each other and build bases to defeat the enemy.Ĭonflict is the straightforward military sim part of the package and what casual console players should check out first if they’re unfamiliar with Arma. Arma Reforger’s two primary modes at launch are Conflict and Game Master. Reimagining ArmaĪrma Reforger is a pseudo-reimagining of the first Arma game, although it’s primarily focused on multiplayer and user-created content.

And with Arma Reforger, Bohemia Interactive wants its modding community and Xbox players to come along for the ride.

While this might not be the grand follow-up to Arma 3 that series fans may have expected, my early hands-off look at Arma Reforger shows that a promising new era for the franchise is about to begin.
