Foxhole Airborne - Announcement Trailer - YouTube

Thousands against thousands war MMOFoxholehas a new major chapter coming in Summer 2025 with the Airborne update. Announced this week, the update will add various warplanes that complete Foxhole’s trifecta of player-driven battles on land,sea, and now air with hundreds of players at once fighting over one giant, isometric battlefront.

The Airborne release will include fighter planes capable of dogfights, bombers, new logistics to build and supply planes, and lots of flight roles to take on. It’ll also include Paratroopers, a twist that’ll definitely change how the backline partisan and logistics operations of Foxhole are played.

The other big update coming to Foxhole is an infantry-focused patch that will release this month, on November 18. It’ll include a number of large gameplay overhauls. And melee weapons, which I’m sure Foxhole’s community will be completely normal about and definitely won’t induce a lot of hundred-player suicide charges from one trench network to another.

“The Infantry update is a major revamp of Foxhole’s infantry gameplay, designed to be more team-oriented and tactical. This update introduces deeper suppression gameplay, weapon shouldering mechanics, and a stamina overhaul, alongside other features to make the entire infantry playspace more impactful on the persistent battlefield,” said developer Siege Camp.

You can find Foxhole on Steam, and more info about the Airborne updateon its Foxhole websiteand in thejoint announcement with the Infantry Update. Developers Siege Camp have already announced their next project in development alongside Foxhole,a medieval warfare MMO called Anvil Empires.

Foxhole is a long-running game now, and hit its 1.0 releaseback in 2022but has kept up the stride ever since. It’s the kind of game where a dedicated community creates some really good videogame folk stories, orwhips up a whole religion around a corpse pile before crashing the server over it. It’s also one of those perennially"dead" games that’s still very much alive, pulling 3,000 or more peak players even on its weakest days.
