Shard Launch Times

Multiple shards will be going live on Oct 26th to support potential higher player counts. If you intend to play on launch day, see the post below for details on war start times. ...

There are two separate teams. The Anvil team right now is bigger than the Foxhole team was when it was started. A few work on both projects but it's largely separate. The 14 team members I mentioned was for Foxhole only.

I wouldn't read too much into this. There won't be a big update like Inferno or Naval Warfare for a VERY long time for a few reasons:

1. These big updates are very intense and after doing it year over year the team needs to take a breather for awhile. It's been a very challenging update but players have been asking for a naval revamp for years and we wanted to get this one done before settling down a bit. Keep in mind the Foxhole development team itself is only about 14 or so people.
2. With a more fleshed out naval game, we've hit all the big content feature goals we had when we set out to make Foxhole years ago. We never really planned that much further than naval in our multi year internal roadmap. We have all the "foundation" we need now to continue building the game for a long time.
3. Like Update 52, we'd like to do another QoL focused update in the new year.
4. There are many parts of the games like Facilities, Infantry, and building that'd we li...

The Heavy Trucks were bugged in today's dev branch as was stated in the dev branch info channel upon release of phase 4 dev branch. They were using outdated code/data from so their stats were completely reset to arbitrary values and many other aspects of them were broken. They shouldn't be tested and consider none of the information on them valid until phase 5 hits today. Thanks!

The footage from the Colonial battleship was taken from a build where the art was still work in progress. Specifically it was from a streamer preview, which is supposed to have the pre-release tag at the top right corner indicating this. However it looks like the HUD was hidden to omit this. On the other hand the Warden battleship screenshot was taken from the trailer which had more final assets.

Please take this into consideration before making judgements. Making these ships was the biggest art effort in the history of the studio (bigger than facilities). Understand that a lot of visual polish comes in at the last 5% of development.

Fair points all around and I won't claim our development process or decisions are perfect as we're constantly learning. The only claim I got is that we've been and will continue to be as committed as we can to Foxhole's development. Happy to take your above feedback into consideration in the future.

There are plans for more ships in the future for both factions, including more submersible ships and other types of vessels.

Thanks. In case it helps, see my response here to another question below asking about Submarines.

There are plans for more ships in the future for both factions, including more submersible ships and other types of vessels. This release represents the beginning of and not the end for Naval Warfare.

Reposting my response to another similar question.

Right now it's independent. We'd like to add additional QoL here in the future if possible though.

To be honest this is always a concern for us and any other online game. We've been going 6 years strong now with Foxhole and things have worked out alright so far. We can't predict the future but we can only do our best to continue to improve the game.

We have accommodated for non-NvS wars in the design. It may make for more niche layouts, but EvW can work for some wars still.

They will still permanently destroy structures like the previous versions of rockets.
