I’m now going to take some time to work on my other game, Rise of the White Sun, which also deserves some love.

2026 Planned Releases

(Please keep in mind that I may change my plans at any time, whether to do something else, or simply to change the order.)

  • February–March: A full China–wide Northern Expedition sandbox scenario for Rise of the White Sun.

  • March: Pax Americana for Maestro’s Cold War 2.

  • April–August: Feature updates for Cold War 2, depending on the poll results and my mood.

  • Sometime between May and September: Maestro’s Cold War 2 Final Release.

    Please note that the “final release” date doesn’t mean much, as this game is designed to be updated over the years to come, just like I did with Rise of the White Sun.

    So why between May and September? Simply because that window works best from a marketing perspective.

  • Sometime between August and December: Rise of the Red Sun (1929–1933), a DLC for ROWS.
