Broken Arrow will let you save your progress in its single-player campaign this December, developer Steel Balalaika said on November 8. Saves arrive in a game update that launches alongside War on Air, the next DLC for the modern warfare tactics game.
The Details
Steel Balalaika calls saves a much-awaited feature, and sums up the change with one line: “Your next battle can wait until tomorrow.”
War on Air is a new story campaign that runs alongside the main one. Its store page lists these details:
- Six interconnected missions. You lead Russian Guard forces, from local clashes with saboteurs to full-scale battles.
- Four new maps. Kronstadt, Vyborg, Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant, and Tallinn Fortress, all also available in multiplayer.
- New characters. Lieutenant Colonel Ilya Kotov commands in the field, and journalist and blogger Vera Kandinskaya reports on the war from Saint Petersburg without knowing the full story.
- Choices that count. Your decisions affect the game’s difficulty, and the methods you pick decide how the story ends.
The store page says newcomers can follow the campaign without knowing the main story, so it does not lean on the base game’s plot.
What This Means for Players
The saves are the bigger change for anyone who plays alone. Broken Arrow launched in June 2025, and the post makes clear that campaign progress could not be saved until now. Steel Balalaika ties the feature to the game update, not the DLC itself, so the wording points to it reaching the base campaign too.
Multiplayer players should watch one open question. The post says the four maps are also available in multiplayer, but it does not say whether you need to own War on Air to play on them. Neither the post nor the store page gives a price or an exact date. The store page lists Q4 2026, which fits December.
If you want something to play in the meantime, we have guides for other strategy games with big campaigns. Our Total War hub and Age of Empires hub cover the historical side, and our Dawn of War 4 DLC list covers another real-time strategy game’s plans. Company of Heroes 3 has also dated its Operation Torch expansion.
