In Massive Fleetsmode, the points cap for fleets in single-player skirmishes and 1v1 battles is raised from 1,200 to 4,000, allowing for truly battlefield-spanning force compositions to clash. In addition, it unlocks previously campaign-only ships such as the Imperial Phalanx and the Tyranid Ancient One for use in this mode, letting you bring the galaxy's most terrifying weapons to bear against your opponents.
This is a fun-first addition, meaning a couple of things. Balance and matchmaking are still centered on the 1,200 point mode used for ranked play. While we expect there are a number of viable strategies in Massive Fleets, it is simply impossible to keep tabs on the infinite possibilities now available to players. Alongside AI games, friends can go against each other in 1-on-1 - we invite players to use our community Discord to find other admirals to challenge. The mode also requires a significantly powerful PC to maintain good performance in the most ludicrous scenarios.
The Massive Fleet Update also coincides with the end of one of our ranked seasons, meaning a big balance patch, which you can read more about on Steam. We're also still hard at work on a fourth narrative campaign, which you'll hear more about in the near future, and other post-launch features.
Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 and the Massive Fleets Update are available now on Steam.
