The Adamello update will release on November 14th!
There will not be a new DLC accompanying this update, but you'll already have all the gear you need for this battle if you own the Glacial and Altitude packs. There will be two new weapons (one of which is a grenade), but we'll reveal them later. Onto Adamello!

We'll continue from where we left off after the initial Adamello reveal. If you haven't read it yet, be sure to do so first for the history of this map:

Moving onwards & upwards
If the objectives of Sector #1 are captured, the battle moves on towards the second and last sector, Cima Presena. However, getting there may be a difficult feat for the Italians as the map opens up into a sea of white. Here, the Italians have to climb to the very top of the mountain without getting hit by the lead raining down. They'll need to make use of smoke cover and artillery to press on, as the Austro-Hungarians have excellent cover and a significant height advantage.
While the defenders have the high ground, it's not over for the Italians. The Austro-Hungarians don't spawn at the peak either and have to make their way up from the other side. Featuring plenty of workplace safety violations, their routes take them across sketchy bridges, extremely steep slopes and sometimes even just a single plank over a gap. Watch your step!
Defenders' spawn leading up towards Sector #2
Historically, the first attempt the Italians made to take Cima Presena failed. It's very difficult to get across a small no man's land with little to no cover. The advantage the Austro-Hungarians had at the top was significant enough to force a retreat, but the Italians came prepared with artillery to soften up the defenses.
Sector #2
Once at the top, there's just one objective. This capture zone is light on cover and hiding places: it's just you, rocks, snow and your enemy. Getting here is the most difficult part for the Italians, but they'll be able to turn the tide once they make it here. As the Austro-Hungarians will also need to climb to get here, Italians will be able to make use of the newly-acquired height advantage and return the favor. The defenders may have a hard time getting back to the objective once they lose control. Be ready for a lot of chaos and lots of artillery!
That's Adamello! Of course, none of this beats exploring it yourself. You won't have to wait long, just two weeks to go.
There's more to come!
While we are in the end game of 2024, we still have a lot of really exciting things to share with you this year. In fact, we have a special something coming tomorrow, so be sure to keep an eye on the Isonzo Steam page :)
