We are proud to release the complete redesign of our web site, providing a far more professional look that is appropriate for the level we have reached with this mod and its community. In addition to its catchy layout, our web site now provides the functionality we have long awaited. You will be able to read all the Darkest Hour news at DarkestHourGame.com and find just as many images and videos as you once went to our ModDB page for!

We have a sleek-looking gallery that is very easy to add to. This of course makes it more convenient for developers to add even the smallest of updates for us players to drool over. We also have a convenient file downloads page where you'll be able to find the latest Darkest Hour upgrades very easily.

With the success of our 1.1 release, our development team has been working eagerly to bring you yet another addition - the long awaited parachute system! After many delays we are finally releasing this system in the August patch. If you recall from our Feature Trailer, the chute system allows players to spawn inside airplanes and simply jump out the door at any point in its flight. As the player exits the plane, the chute will automatically deploy and slow the fall, providing some steering ability and realistically slight control over your landing point.

Many of you have been asking where our new bug fix patch is. We originally scheduled it for this week, but unfortunately its release has been delayed. This is due to many reasons including some missing staff members and because we want to make sure everything is perfect before we get it to you. So we are currently working on a 7 day delay - it will be released next week.

But to keep your mouth watering, here's a few more pieces it will contain:
