⚠️ Hearts of Iron IV: devs are reworking the open testing branch ahead of Peace for Our Time and plan to move it onto the new 1.18 base.
Designer Zvirbaum says the open beta was meant as a temporary step, but heavy tech fixes and a revamp of core mechanics (including submarine detection balance) stretched the process. Weekly updates proved too costly, so the team proposes switching to roughly biweekly patches and maintaining the branch after the next major patch, the final call depends on player feedback and how much the community wants to keep the BETA branch.
