The award-winning Project Reality Team is proud to announce the official release of Project Reality: BF2 v1.8!

Celebrating 20 years of continuous development, we are excited to announce the launch of our 41st major update! This update stands out as one of the most content-rich in our history, achieved within one of our shortest development cycles relative to the volume of delivered content. Our ongoing support for the game is made possible by our community's persistent backing through donations.

As we enter our third decade of uninterrupted development, we express our gratitude to all community members who have contributed to the success of Project Reality as the first of its kind, large-scale, teamwork-oriented standalone multiplayer experience in a realistic combat environment. We are also grateful to over 320,000 players who have experienced Project Reality in the last four years, including more than 80,000 new players in 2024 alone. Remarkably, this year, Project Reality surpassed 1,000 concurrent online players for the first time in nearly a decade, proving without a doubt that Project Reality and its population remain strong. Thank you for being part of our journey!

On this day, 83 years ago, on June 22, 1941, the Red Army and the Wehrmacht clashed along a 3,000-kilometer (1,800-mile) front. Fought on the ashes of annexed Eastern European countries, the operation was code-named after Frederick Barbarossa ("red beard") and marked the largest land offensive in human history.

As said in our previous article, the next update for PR:BF2 will see more than the introduction of the WW2: Eastern Front. As in every major release, next to content updates, the game systems receive fixes and all kinds of improvements. Today we show the second part of some of this new content and improvements coming to the game soon. Do note that unexpected issues might push these things to a later update. However, before we get to the content update, first we have an important message for our community:

PRstats' Fate

Earlier this year Sgt_Baker/avram announced that he would have to retire from updating and maintaining http://www.prstats.tk, a PR-specific stats tracking project that he had developed and supported single-handedly for over seven years. Real life caught up, requiring more and more of his energy and time, so much so that he doesn't even get to play the game anymore!

As it would be a real shame to see all these years of data being lost to history, we decided to step in. And frankly: who doesn't love to have some trusty stats to bolster your claims at gaming prowess (or equally dispute some braggard's).
So we approached him and asked if we could take over, which he graciously agreed to! With a little bit of our (and his, as he supported the migration as well!) elbow grease to update the underlying codebase and suspending some of the extra features such as avatar and signature generation (for now), we can now announce this service will continue to be available under our own domain and running on our own server: https://prstats.realitymod.com/. Your gaming glory (and shame) will be securely publicly available for the foreseeable future!

Please join us in thanking Avram for all his continued effort and especially in ensuring that his project smoothly transitions into the future! You can find out more about him and his work as well as his socials on his homepage (hint: try and see what happens when you enter the Konami chea...

In our series of articles 'Road to the Eastern Front' (#1, #2, #3) we showed the work on the Soviet Faction for PR:BF2, but this is not all that is coming in the next major PR:BF2 update! Today we want to show you a first glimpse at some of the other exciting additions and quality-of-life improvements coming to the game soon. Do note that unexpected issues might push these things to a later update.

Falkands & Vietnam Updated Content

In our upcoming update, anticipate enhanced Falkland textures and kit geometries to make them more accurate to that period. We're also updating the FN FAL series, including the FAP, PARA variants. Additionally, arm yourself with the Winchester 1897 trench gun for our US Vietnam faction.
