BLAZING DESERTS IS BATTLE BROTHERS MOST SUCCESSFUL DLC TO DATE

Overhype Studios is thrilled to announce that Blazing Deserts has become Battle Brothers most successful DLC, having gathered more than 8,000 concurrent players over its first weekend (more than Battlefield 5 or EVE Online), and with a 91% approval rate on Steam. Battle Brothers was the most activated game on Steam last Friday, just behind the indie hit Fall Guys — a major feat for a game released 5 years ago that cements it as a modern classic of the turn-based strategy genre, considered by some critics "the best mercenary game ever released".

'Blazing Deserts', the new DLC for the acclaimed tactical RPG Battle Brothers, is available on Steam for $14.99/€14.99 (check Steam for regional equivalents). To celebrate the release, Battle Brothers base game is still available with a 67% discount. Its two prior DLCs (Beasts & Exploration and Warriors of the North) are available with a 10% off from August 13th to August 20th. The 'Blazing Deserts' DLC for Battle Brothers expands the game with new lands of burning deserts and lush oases to the south. In its new trailer, voiced by Roger Clark (Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2), below these lines.

Visit independent city-states, fight in the arena, face desert raiders and southern beasts in battle. Wear new gear inspired by Arabian and Persian cultures of the medieval ages, employ alchemical contraptions and primitive firearms, and forge your own path when the fires of religious turmoil threaten to engulf the world in a new late-game crisis. But the new content of Blazing Deserts does not limit to the south, as new features such as the new environments for fights will also be found in the north (see screenshot below). If you want to learn more about the DLC, you can check the dev diaries discussing its new content on the Steam page of the game.
