So why this and not Arma 4? Bohemia say “Arma Reforger is the first step towards Arma 4 and a versatile, creative, fully-moddable platform for the future, offering a glimpse of things to come, and to reiterate that, released a second trailer called “Road to Arma 4.

I’m excited for this! Arma is a series I’ve been trying and only moderately succeeding at loving for almost 20 years now, as I’m equally drawn in then put off by how serious they are. Reforger’s reduced scale, its setting, and the fact it’s also coming to Xbox suggest that maybe this one will be slightly less complicated? Or at the very least, we can hope that Bohemia learned a lesson or two from the last time they tried a focused spin-off like this, the disastrous free-to-play shooter, Argo?
