The cold war has gone hot We’re excited to re-announce to the gamers around the world that ’83, the spiritual successor to Rising Storm 2 Vietnam, is back from a development limbo and we’re now working towards getting the game out in Steam Early Access – hopefully in about a year’s time! For those of you who are not up to date with our latest news:
’83 is a large scale, squad oriented, objective based multiplayer shooter set in the Cold War. Designed with accessible realism for the most enjoyable and hardcore experience that gets to the action fast without losing the realistic lethality of war. Initially, ’83 was developed by Antimatter Games. After Enad Global 7 (EG7) joined as a publisher and acquired the studio, ’83 continued development alongside another project, I.G.I. Origins, set in the same historical era. Unfortunately, EG7 closed Antimatter Games in 2023, and ’83 was abandoned.
This led Chris Rickard and Tony Gillham to establish Blue Dot Games Ltd., negotiate with EG7 to acquire the ’83 assets and resume development thanks to the generous investment of a gamer-turned-investor Kevin Green!
