Developer King ART have announced a new game mode and the Rusiviet Revolution DLC for alternate history RTS, Iron Harvest.

In their latest DevBlog update, the developer revealed the new Drop Zone game mode. Stockpiles of Victory Points will fall from the sky in crates, and players must scramble to collect them.

Multiple can drop at a time, and the process of picking them up takes time and will need defending. The mode will be available on all existing skirmish and multiplayer maps, and can be played in Ranked, Quick, and Custom matches.

While Season 1 of the competitive modes have ended, Season 2 will soon begin. This will see the ranked ladder being reset, and the top 15 receiving a “Season 1 Elite” title. Those whose completed their placement matches will also receive a “Veteran” title, and faceplate cosmetic.

New DLC was revealed as well. Inspired by the real life Russian revolution, the DLC campaign will see the Rusviet Revolution against the Tsar in a new storyline. Featuring four single player maps (with co-op available) and unveiling the mysteries of Rasputin), the DLC will launch December 17th for €3.99 EUR. The DLC will be free for Kickstarter and Digital Deluxe owners.

Finally, there is a free demo weekend running until December 1st on PC, and the ESL’s Iron Harvest tournament is available for entry. The qualifiers begin November 28th. You can find the full DevBlog and changelog here.
