Returning to the series' origins, Reforger takes place in an alternate late 1980s Cold War-era setting once more, and is the fifth main entry in the ARMA series. Reforger focuses heavily on its multiplayer aspect, featuring both competitive and co-operative gameplay modes to showcase large-scale infantry and vehicular warfare. Crossplay is available and can be enabled on official and private servers, allowing players from the PC, XBOX, and PlayStation 5 platforms to play against one another.
The base game's content can be further expanded by downloading mods created by the community via The Workshop, Bohemia Interactive's proprietary online mod repository. It is available to PC, PlayStation 5, and XBOX platforms.
However, the primary intent of Reforger is to showcase Bohemia Interactive's new Enfusion engine, with a strong emphasis on providing the community with access to the tools necessary for the creation of usermade addons. Notably, Reforger is intended to provide a polished sample of ARMA 4's potential gameplay (also built upon the Enfusion engine), effectively serving as a "community foundation" for the upcoming main title and true follow-on successor to ArmA 3.
Reforger was originally launched in an Early Access phase[8] but has since gone live as of November 16th, 2023. Although it is no longer in Early Access, Reforger will receive continued support after its full release. New features and playable assets will be progressively introduced over time across three major milestones: Ground Support, Air Assault, and Final Strike.
