About these games

Arma 3 Apex

Arma 3 Apex is an expansion for the military simulation Arma 3 that moves players to Tanoa, a 100 km² South Pacific island archipelago. Here they face a new faction, Syndikat, a local criminal organization made up of armed thugs and former paramilitaries, which opposes both NATO and CSAT. The expansion adds 13 new weapons, 10 new vehicles, a co-op campaign and tactical gameplay where movement, shooting and teamwork matter. The terrain includes rainforests, a volcano, shanty towns, a sugar cane factory and an industrial port.

Arma Reforger

Arma Reforger is a military simulation set during the Cold War, focused on realistic weapons, combat mechanics and expansive terrains. Players can battle other players or AI in the Conflict, Combat Ops and Capture & Hold modes, or build their own missions in Game Master. For solo play there is the Operation Omega campaign with five replayable missions, plus the Elimination and Air Support scenarios, while community mods can be downloaded directly in the game from the Workshop.

Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead

The game takes place three years after the conflict in Chernarus shown in the original Arma 2. A new flashpoint erupts in the Green Sea Region, and a coalition led by the US Army deploys to Takistan to quickly restore peace and prevent further civilian casualties. Players serve in various US Army roles, from basic infantry and special operatives to pilots and tank crew. It can be played standalone, but it fully integrates with the original Arma 2.

Arma 2

Arma 2 is a military simulation with action and strategy elements, set in the fictional former Soviet state of Chernarus. The 225 square kilometre game world is based on real-world geographical data and is inhabited by civilians and wildlife. The player commands Force Reconnaissance Team Razor through a branching campaign in which the fight is for control of the country as well as the loyalty of its people. The simulation covers ballistics, material penetration, a real-time day and night cycle, and dynamic wind and weather, while units react to the actual situation without scripts or predefined paths.

Arma 3 Contact

Arma 3 Contact is a spin-off expansion for Arma 3 about humanity’s first encounter with extraterrestrial intelligence. In the story-driven ‘First Contact’ campaign, you play NATO drone operator Aiden Rudwell, who investigates a massive alien vessel on Livonia and tries to learn who the visitors are and why they came. A region-wide blackout and differing interpretations, however, lead to armed conflict. The expansion also adds a new Livonia terrain with the Nadbór region, plus new factions, weapons and vehicles to the Arma 3 sandbox.

Gray Zone Warfare

Gray Zone Warfare is a tactical shooter set in an open world, with a strong PvE-first focus. It unfolds on a quarantined island in Southeast Asia that has been torn apart by fighting between rival factions. Players take on the role of an elite operator, deploying alone or alongside their squad to carry out missions, earn reputation, and gradually uncover the truth behind the Event that ignited the conflict.
