Balrog Awakened
It's been a long time since our last update and we've been working so hard that accidentally we disturbed the balrog from its slumber. Although he did cause some harm, we managed to put him back to sleep. To our surprise our urveillance cameras captured him in detail and it would be a great shame not to share the footage with everybody. Please, enjoy the video below!
Primarily known as Durin's Bane, the demon of fire and shadow is among the most powerful and captivating characters of Middle-earth. Making him was a big challenge most notably for our best 3D sculptor, animator and VFX designer, although all work on him was difficult.
The balrog may be the most difficult character to make as he is a huge winged monster that constantly generates large amounts of particle effects - darkness, which is essentially a cloud of smoke, shrouds him, often revealing his arms and head, and, of course, flames on his back. But even that isn't all as his weapons are flaming too.
In game Durin's Bane is a playable character accessible through a well-known Spellbook special power. The balrog will remain largely the same character - a mighty monster of many abilities such as whip strike and fiery breath.
Stay tuned for the next and so far the biggest update that will cover our progress of many months.

hello guys...its sad..but its seems like this project is cancel
Not suprise at all.. Perhaps they were too ambitious.. And instead of releasing an incomplete mod (that can be updated in the future) they want to release a perfect mod (which could never be perfect)..
Just release the mod as it is.. Then update..
hmmm...maybe my friend....You right :(
It takes a good team and talent to bring an old game to light again. Of course, what you do is not easy and I wish you success in this regard. However, months and even years have passed, but you do not even have a demo game that has come to light. Either you are stalling people here, or we are dealing with a team that is too amateur to even give a proper release date. Look, I'm writing this because it's been a long time and you haven't put anything forward. I was on duty for more than 3 years. When I arrive, there is the same scenario again. There is not even the slightest progress :)
Can you release the game with maybe 2 or 3 factions meanwhile you keep completing the rest of the game or do you need it all completed as one file as you cant make changes?? tbh everyone just wants to play skirmish so having 2 factions will keep everyone busy while waiting for the rest of the game.

love from south korea
Good afternoon, I wanted to ask you, how many maps and factions are you going to see in the end in the game? I'm sure you are working as hard as you can to make a great game. I look forward to hearing from you.
How long will it take until bfme reforged comes out?
Are you going to work on it longer than the original team who made it?
Don't go overboard with the visual details please.
