Enlisted is in half-dead status for a long time.
Back in 2021-22 there were a lot of updates, sadly the campaign system was a dead end from the beginning.
Merge came too late and took too long, almost like team was reduced to a bare minimum at that time.
Very little was done since - took them a whole year to add high BR AT gun to Pacific and it’s a ‘lend-lease’ PAK40 for Japan.
Game is also once again at a dead end where current BR5 ‘1945/6’ gear rivals most possible additions up to 1980-90s, leaving little room for more content without nerfing what we have.
But official announcing of Enlisted end of service would hurt profits, so the silence continues, even if it seems that CMs are running out of excuses lately, as a list of ‘promised yet undelivered’ features and bugfixes grows ever larger, and as more cost-saving measures continue to hit what remains of the playerbase.
‘Massive Post-Steam marketing campaign’ also never came, instead we went straight to active Active Matter marketing.
Although it is an April Fool’s event let’s not forget Gaijin did an MBT and Helicopter beta testing as an April Fool’s event which later result in the addition of Modern MBTs and many helicopters which are now part of the top tier section of the game, meaning there is a chance they could make the infantry permanent, I don’t think this will kill Enlisted outright but it could lead to a shift of priorities (there is already some focus being placed on the development of Active Matter so this could add more focus on other games that aren’t Enlisted which could result in less attention and work being done for this game)
And their wording back in 2017 was pretty similar as it is now with this new infantry event about being an expansion of War Thunder’s gameplay and offerings and this event was an April Fool’s event, we will have to wait and see what will happen after this but there is a chance the infantry may be added permanently in War Thunder.
Well…the event is now available on War Thunder and it’s about WW1 confirming that Infantry will be a closed beta later on outside of the April Fool’s event…safe to say in my opinion that the future of Enlisted is now uncertain
