About

1983 was a tense year for global politics. With Western powers ramping up anti-Soviet rhetoric and the Soviets responding in kind, it represented one of the most dangerous years in the 20th century.

In ‘83, these tensions explode into a global conflict where ‘what if’ has become ‘when’. Birthed from the timeline of the real Cold War, sabre-rattling escalates to a World War for dominance between two nuclear superpowers. It 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.

‘83’s weapons are authentic to their real-world counterparts. All weapons work as players would expect in the real world, with systems such as ballistic modeling, penetration, real-world accurate recoil and advanced weapon handling putting the most iconic weapons of the Cold War in your hands.

Persistent Warfare - Every Battle Counts

Battle has meaning. Controlling territory and objectives has an impact on every fight in ‘83, rather than just being a required stepping stone to victory. As battles rage across the world of ‘83, every win, every loss, every supply line disrupted or silo destroyed helps turn the tide of the Cold War. Using Big Data analysis and analytics, the continuing narrative of ‘83 will be shaped by the actions taken by individual players, affecting content developed post-launch. In addition to this, individual acts of valour will be rewarded, with players being recognised for these world-shaping actions. More on this will follow in the coming months. Earn glory, and shape the world through battle with Persistent Warfare.

Real-world Infantry Weapons and Equipment 

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.
