What is 83?

‘83 is a Cold-War-Gone-Hot, combined arms, first-person military shooter for high player counts (80+) currently in development at Antimatter Games.

‘83 pits two large platoons of players against each other in massive maps, fighting over a number of objectives that have a tangible impact on the battle as a whole when held by the victorious faction.

Players will have access to a selection of real-world infantry weapons and equipment, as well as a selection of powerful land and air vehicles which can decisively turn the tide of a battle.

I love Cold War era shooters (COD, also Red orchestra) right away I knew who was developing this game

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!

Oh this is by the red orchestra/rising storm guys? Sick, definitely interested now.

I’m digging the Cold War aesthetic, but it seems odd given the fact that Reforger is the same time period roughly.

That being said I haven’t played on a non v server since launch.
