A new shooter on Steam is currently thrilling thousands of players. The developers have now talked about their plans for the future.
What kind of game is this? BattleBit Remastered is a first-person shooter where up to 254 players compete against each other in various PvP modes. The gameplay is reminiscent of the popular Battlefield series: it features chaotic battles with lots of players fighting on foot or in various vehicles.
The special thing about BattleBit is that the shooter, costing around €15, visually resembles a Battlefield made of Lego and has already captivated tens of thousands of players in playtests.
By now, the shooter has over 35,000 player reviews and is doing really well on Steam. A strong 91% of all reviews are positive. Additionally, BattleBit had an average of 45,000 players on Steam during its release month in June and reached a peak of 86,636 concurrent players (via Steamcharts).

Developers Reveal Future Plans
What does the shooter receive that Battlefield fans have wanted for 1.5 years? In a report from July 1, the developers of BattleBit gave a small glimpse of the content they plan for the shooter in the future.
The planned content includes community-driven servers with special game modes, maps, and rules that can be customized by the admins. With the introduction of community servers, players can rent servers independently and then decide which modes and maps are played under which rules.
Additionally, a so-called server browser will allow players to choose a server that offers rules, maps, and modes according to their preferences.
Such a server browser is missing in Battlefield 2042, the latest installment of the popular series, although it was a popular feature in previous Battlefield titles. Unsurprisingly, many Battlefield fans have been requesting a server browser for 2042 for months now (via Reddit).
What other new content does the shooter plan? Besides planning a server browser, the developers also spoke of other content that BattleBit Remastered is set to receive in the future.
According to them, they intend to
- bring new weapons, maps, gadgets, and map remakes
- introduce new game modes
- recruit experts in cheat detection
While BattleBit Remastered celebrates a successful release and plans a hopefully successful future, Battlefield 2042 is already in its 5th season. You can find the trailer for it on MeinMMO:
