80% Off on the Steam Autumn Sale kicking off today
Swedish independent developer 5 Fortress are proud to announce that a major update to STRIDEN is available today.
It’s been three months since STRIDEN entered Early Access, and now on September 29, the game’s very first major content patch aptly named Re Launch – is here. Based on extensive player feedback, this update brings quality-of-life improvements, bug fixes, and a stronger, more robust anti-cheat system.
The headline feature of this update is the brand-new game mode Kontroll, heavily inspired by Domination. Three flags to capture and defend, 5v5 format, easy to jump into, with fast-paced, intense matches. What sets this apart from similar titles? No skill-based matchmaking, nostalgic gunplay reminiscent of early 2010s first-person shooters, vast Scandinavian-inspired maps, and of course – the occasional radioactive bear or even a moose tank.
Alongside Kontroll comes a brand-new map: Nuke 08, set in Sweden’s capital, Stockholm. For the first time, STRIDEN players can dive into an urban combat environment.
As an extra treat, the Transmit mode also receives a fresh battleground: Souppat. This map takes players to a picturesque mountain village near the Norwegian border, surrounded by dense Scandinavian Forest.
This patch is packed with player-requested features, including:
New Game Mode: Kontrol
A fast-paced, easy-to-grasp mode inspired by the classic Domination formula.
Two Brand-New Maps: Nuke 08 & Souppat
Nuke 08 – Battle across a war-torn park in the heart of Stockholm, where danger lurks behind every corner – including radioactive bears. Souppat – Enter large-scale skirmishes in a rugged mountain village near the Norwegian border, deep in the Scandinavian forests.
Quality of Life Improvements & Bug Fixes
Dozens of community-driven tweaks and fixes to enhance gameplay.
And the big news doesn’t stop there – STRIDEN is officially joining Steam’s Autumn Sale, with a massive 80% discount to welcome new players into the world of indie shooters.
