March 31st, 2021 | Moscow, Russia — 1C Game Studios has announced the start of an open beta for Caliber in European countries, making available in English the full version of the game, its website and client. In addition, update 0.10.0, Contracts, came out for both versions of the game (Russian and English). It includes new content and improvements:
“Version 0.10 has been expected for a long time, as it expands the reach of the project by inviting players from outside the CIS. With the Contracts update out, players — old and new alike — will visit a new map in the Zalessye setting, meet new operators from the Spanish unit EZAPAC and see interesting and convenient changes to the game. Spring is in full bloom in Caliber!” — says Andrey Shumakov, Caliber’s lead game designer.
Open beta in Europe is planned to last until Autumn of 2021.
