Bohemia Interactive has released a brand new trailer for Arma 3 in the wake of the launch of their first free campaign episode – which introduces the conflict between the NATO, CSAT, and AAF factions.

In Arma 3’s campaign, players take on the role of Ben Kerry, a soldier who is a part of the NATO peacekeeping operation in the Mediterranean. Five years after the bloody civil war in the Republic of Altis & Stratis came to an end, NATO has started to withdraw its forces from the region - unknowingly creating the conditions for a Mediterranean flashpoint. Kerry's unit, 'Task Force Aegis' - together with a clandestine group of UKSF operators - is soon caught up in a situation beyond their control, and trapped in a fight for survival.

Of course it isn't just free content pertaining to the story that players will be gaining from the new campaign episode, with a number of key building blocks being introduced for Arma 3 content creators. These come in the form of new weapons, animations, 3D objects, and scripted modules.

Bohemia is expecting to release more free content including new vehicles with the next free campaign episodes. The exact release dates of the second (Adapt) and third (Win) campaign episodes are expected to be announced later.
