A new item was added to the game - War Chest (Fall 2024): https://steamdb.info/app/2012510/items/

The price is $40 (ignoring regional pricing). Afaik it's the same as sc2, but I quit before war chests were added, don't know all the details.

Looks expensive tbh. These will inevitably be compared to Battle Passes from other games. Which are usually around $10 and often give more bang for your buck. Some even let you grind the currency back if you complete it. No info if this is gonna be the case here, but I highly doubt it. Also unknown what the contents are. Maybe it will contain this skinset

. But it doesn't seem to be worth the premium price, even if there's small stuff like sprays and emojis on top of that.

People were already dissatisfied with the $60 bundle and its quality. Some rewards aren't available still (Chapters 2 and 3 of the campaign). So asking for a full game's price doesn't sound right. You can purchase AoM: Retold and save $10. Or buy battle passes for a year in other games.

Hey, everyone. This is absolutely incorrect.

We aren’t actively working on War Chests at this time and we’ve dropped them from our roadmap while our team focuses on addressing player feedback and improving core gameplay, performance, audio, and other much higher priorities.

This price does NOT reflect what we were originally thinking, either, and looks like a default or placeholder price, perhaps copied over a while ago using the Deluxe Early Access pack as a template.

To be 100% clear, this is fake news.
