Why it matters
The diary is a narrow, one-map demonstration with no sales figures or wider update, so it sells the game's core pitch: that terrain and command-level orders can outweigh raw unit counts.

Armored units are funneled through a narrow mountain pass and burned by mortar positions. The game is scheduled for release on November 10, 2026, and its Steam store page lists Japanese interface and subtitle support.
The video picks a single map to make the case: two United Earth Federation players, one narrow pass, mortars dug in above it. Massed armor dies in the open approach. The defender uses the terrain to fix the direction of the attack.
Oxide Games ran the test in-house. Ashes of the Singularity II adds the United Earth Federation as a third faction alongside the Post-Human Coalition and the Substrate, and shifts orders to armies and regions rather than individual units. Balance, performance, and communication stability are still being adjusted after a Steam Next Fest demo and a September multiplayer test.
