2025 was a strong year for Ares Alpha. Our player base kept growing steadily, with many games exceeding 250+ players.
One of the biggest upgrades was the Comm Module, bringing in-app chat and mission management. We also delivered two highly requested features: full NATO symbol support and Player Tags, fully configurable directly from the app.
On the backend side, we migrated our entire infrastructure to new cloud servers. Ares Alpha is no longer a weekend project — it now supports a constant flow of games, from small skirmishes to some of the largest airsoft events worldwide.

2026 Roadmap
We’ve collected a lot of ideas and requests from the community. Top priorities include:
- App language localization
- More perks and expanded perk settings
- In addition to the points system, we want to introduce virtual coins that can be earned and spent on perks
- We also plan to finalize the video manuals and tutorials started this year.
In our forum section, we have many additional requests, all of which are carefully reviewed.

We’d like to talk openly about app monetization. Over the past 5 years, Ares Alpha has grown a lot — and so have the costs and development time behind it, especially for things like localization and new features.
Starting next season, we’re planning a simple and transparent approach:
- Use the app with ads, or
- Choose a small symbolic subscription to remove them
This wasn’t an easy decision, but it’s the most sustainable way to keep Ares Alpha growing and improving the way we all want it to.
As always, your feedback means the world to us.
