December 2025 – Monthly Update
December is nearly over, and we want to say a huge thank you for standing by us throughout 2025. This year, we hit a major milestone with our first successful pre-order campaign. Now, we’re looking ahead to 2026 with a commitment to making your gaming experience better than ever.
Here is your final monthly update of the year. Let’s take a look!
I. PRE-ORDER “IWO JIMA” AND “SEA & STEEL”
We are thrilled to announce that our very first pre-order campaign has been successfully fulfilled. All games have officially shipped to our backers, and remaining copies are now available for purchase directly from our website.
Stock Update:
- US Hub: English versions are still available, but stock is very limited.
- European Hub: The English versions of both games are now sold out. We have a final limited stock of the Spanish versions remaining.
A huge thank you to everyone who participated in our first campaign and made this dream a reality!
II. WHAT’S NEXT? SECOND PRE-ORDER CAMPAIGN
We have been working hard behind the scenes to prepare for our next major launch. Here is what you can expect:
1. The Neva Wargames Pre-Order Guide
Whether you are a returning backer or new to the community, we have created a comprehensive Pre-Order Guide to help you understand how we operate.
In this guide, you will learn:
- How the P-300 Program determines which titles go into production.
- How the pre-order phases work, including exclusive discounts.
- Details on payments, shipping locations, and fulfillment timelines.
2. Coming March 2026: Two New Titles
The final touches are being put on our next two titles! We’re returning to our roots with one new Neva Skirmish and one Neva Frontline release. Can you guess what they are?
We are currently polishing the rulebooks and finalizing the artwork. If everything stays on track, we plan to launch the pre-order campaign in March 2026. Stay tuned throughout January and February as we reveal more information and update our pre-order section!
III. P-300 PROGRAM
Help Us Choose the Next Hits!
Your feedback is the engine of our production. It is vital for us to know which titles in our P-300 program you are most excited about.
It is completely free and easy to indicate your interest—simply add a game to your wishlist! Once a title reaches 300 wishlists, we officially move it into the campaign phase. Help us decide what we publish next!
