After a rocky launch that most players agree was too much, too soon, tactical shooter Gray Zone Warfare has finally announced the release date for its Night Ops patch.

MADFINGER revealed today that the new update will drop on November 27. Although this is far from a 1.0 release, players hope the update will finally match the very high community expectations for Gray Zone Warfare.

Although the day-night cycle is the update's namesake, the Night Ops update promises to bring new features, depth, and fixes to Gray Zone Warfare.

The teaser trailer released today shows a lot of goodies.



You have the darkest night, night vision goggles, new weapons, better loot, and the much-awaited shotgun and 9mm pistol improvements that make these classes deadly again.

According to MADFINGER, the update will add over 20 missions. Many of them bring a deeper, lengthier experience than those introduced initially.

The enemy AI is considerably improved as well, after numerous complaints about it being either too dumb or too good, with no middle.

Although it only appeared for a brief moment, the most innovative thing in the trailer was the cracked sight.

While weapon durability is a relatively common feature in games today, this rarely carries over to attachments.

The implications make missions a lot more dynamic. For example, approaching an objective with a sniper rifle requires a stealthier ride all the way in, lest you damage your scope.

While there are no public benchmarks, MADFINGER mentioned it is shipping some performance improvements, which were one of the game's weak spots early on.

The amount of care that goes into night vision in the Gray Zone Warfare Night Ops update deserves a little extra section.

NVGs have been a weak spot in shooters forever. Even self-professed realistic titles like Escape From Tarkov cannot resist the temptation of making goggles clear as day, with perfect focus regardless of distance and no real downsides.

The MADFINGER team partnered with Night Gear Solutions, a Slovak company specializing in night vision equipment, to ensure that GZW gets the equipment just right.

The teaser shows some of the different types of goggles that will be available with the update, but the developers also released a deep-dive video with Night Gear Solution representatives that includes more footage.
