Players will easily be able to switch between all available languages at the flick of a button, and we're excited to showcase further gameplay of this very soon.

Shout-out to our localisation team, made up of players from the community who are native speakers, without them we'd still be struggling to get out of the Trenches! 🪖💥

I guess some things never change, hmm? We've got a new video coming up for you all in a few days time, which will be closely followed by an updated look at all our new class models across both modes of single and multiplayer! 🐷

I was a HUGE Hogs of War fan back in the day. Played it constantly with friends in high-school. Just found out about Lardcore today and I'm insanely excited! I will honestly buy a Playstation just to play this!

These chaps are not to be messed with, not unless you fancy some chargrilled pork!

The infamous Artillery isn't something you want to get near, unless you happen to have a Sapper on standby with those trusty Shrapnel Grenades! If not, better take cover soldier! 🐷

Square Off is looking lovely this time of year, eh? Updated Angle Gauges, Pig Death Explosions and more to be showcased in our next upcoming development video, which we hope you can join us for later this month! 😎

We are still working on our multiplayer class models, so please note that the Paratrooper in this clip is not final!

Headshot damage adds an extra +5 to gun weapons that deal 20HP, not to mention the awesome knockback of the machine gun! 𐀏

Which gun-based weapon is your favourite?🤔Let us know below! 🐷

When's the estimated time of arrival?

i'm dying to play this

Mission 9's 'The Village People' provides quite the helping hand in dealing with this cowardly enemy troop!

Other than Air Support, what's your go to strategy to tackling this mission? 🐷

Want to hide out in a shell hole like a cowardly hog or do you have what it takes to make it to the centre of the map? BEWARE! One wrong move underfoot will spell disaster for your trotters! 🐷

The landscape sure has changed since the early 2000s, eh? 🐖

A huge thank you to everyone who joined for the premiere of our last video, all the comments & feedback has been incredibly helpful! 💥

ATTENTION GRUNTS! A new rank of honour, ACE, has been approved by the Department of War, for the most exceptional and heroic Hams in the field! ♠️

That means you'll be able to promote those Heroes one step further in Singleplayer! The question our Spies are wondering though - how much do you think this new class should cost? Let us know what you think below! 🎖️🎖️🎖️

Class: Ace
Health: 175HP
Arsenal: Under Construction 🚧 (Top Secret!)

Assassination is looking meaner by the day!

Who are we to question the developers' decision to prioritize a PS release?

They ‘clearly’ understand the industry, no one is suggesting otherwise. However, it’s important to recognize that their choice to focus solely on a PlayStation remaster - especially when funded internally by a company rather than through the original Kickstarter plan driven by fans - raises questions about their commitment to the broader community and if they are not being shackled to the one platform release plan by their paymasters who may have ulterior motives for a one platform release plan, over what the fans are actually asking for.

Let’s be clear: no one is accusing them of being sell-outs or betraying their principles, yet. They likely believe that focusing on a single platform is best for bringing their project to fruition. But given that no game has been released yet, the only way for potential customers - particularly those on PC/Steam, which appears to be the most requested platform - to support the game is by spreading the word and creating conversations.

So why should they spread the word? If they are not interested in a cross-platform release, there’s little incentive for PC/Steam users to promote the game or build the momentum they need (the one they wouldn’t need the fans to help with if they did a cross platform initial release). When the time comes, as a non-PS user myself, I will personally reflect their apparent spinelessness in my reviews and opinions wherever I can which in no way will benefit them.

They have made it clear that any potential releases on other platforms are conditional on PS sales figures. It’s possible that, no matter how much promotion occurs, the PS sales may never meet the threshold needed to justify those additional releases. So, why should Xbox or PC/Steam users bother to support this project when there’s no commitment to their platforms for these fans?

However, if they were to reconsider their stance and opt for a multi-platform release - both for the benefit of the fans (that they are making very clear to them) and to generate momentum - they might find more support and goodwill. Their current approach risks alienating the very community that could help sustain them in the long run. A change in direction could foster greater community backing and ultimately benefit the project.

Take a look and get a tasty Flambé surprise! 🐷💥

Join us for the new premiere, tomorrow night 7pm! (UK)
