The future of CTI

Arma 4 CTI & Warfare

Living page — last updated

Arma 4 is coming, and CTI is coming with it. Miksuu's Warfare — the community behind one of the last living Arma 2 Warfare (CTI) servers — will run a CTI server for Arma 4 from day one. This page tracks everything known about Arma 4 and documents what we're building for it.

What we know about Arma 4 so far

  • Release window: 2027. Announced by Bohemia Interactive at their 25th anniversary event in October 2024. No exact date yet.
  • Engine: Enfusion — the same engine that powers Arma Reforger. Bohemia has been explicit that Reforger is the technological bridge to Arma 4.
  • Development focus is shifting. As of early 2026, Bohemia says the Reforger roadmap is nearing its end and the teams' long-term focus is moving to Arma 4.
  • Game modes: not announced. Nothing official yet on whether a Warfare/CTI-style mode ships in the box.

Will Arma 4 have CTI?

History strongly suggests yes — in one form or another. Every generation of the series has had Capture The Island: MFCTI in Operation Flashpoint, official Warfare in Armed Assault and Arma 2, BECTI and Warlords in Arma 3, and Conflict in Reforger (see how Conflict compares to CTI). Whether Bohemia ships an official mode or the community builds it — as it always has — CTI will exist in Arma 4. The only question is who runs the definitive server.

Our commitment: a CTI server at launch

We intend it to be us. Miksuu's Warfare has spent years running and rebuilding Arma 2 Warfare — including a from-scratch AI commander that reads the whole map and fights to win, a two-currency economy, and a persistent PvP+PvE war that runs around the clock. That is the institutional knowledge we are carrying into Arma 4:

  • Day-one server. An Arma 4 CTI server live at launch, tuned by people who have operated CTI for years.
  • The same design DNA. Commander play, town economy, tech-tree escalation, AI armies that keep the war alive at any player count.
  • A community that already exists. Not a server waiting for players — a playerbase moving forward together from Arma 2.

Announcements land on our news page and in the community Discord — the invite is on the servers page. Every Bohemia announcement about Arma 4 gets reflected here.

Arma 4 FAQ

When does Arma 4 come out?

Bohemia Interactive announced Arma 4 with a 2027 release window at their 25th anniversary event in October 2024. No exact date has been confirmed yet; this page is updated with every official announcement.

Will Arma 4 have CTI or Warfare?

Bohemia Interactive has not announced Arma 4's game modes yet. Every mainline Arma has had a CTI implementation — official or community-built — and Miksuu's Warfare is committed to running an Arma 4 CTI server from launch either way.

Is Arma Reforger the same as Arma 4?

No. Arma Reforger is a standalone game Bohemia positions as the bridge between Arma 3 and Arma 4 — a testbed for the new Enfusion engine. Arma 4 is the full next mainline title, built on the same engine.

What engine does Arma 4 use?

Arma 4 runs on Enfusion, Bohemia Interactive's new engine, which already powers Arma Reforger. Reforger's modding and multiplayer infrastructure is effectively the public test run for Arma 4.

Where can I play CTI before Arma 4 launches?

Miksuu's Warfare runs a public Arma 2 Warfare (CTI) server today on a Chernarus and Takistan rotation, and Arma Reforger's Conflict mode offers a streamlined territory-control experience.
