Bohemia Interactive has released a new Nexus Update for Arma 3, calling this "an important stepping stone" towards the release of Arma Apex, a major expansion coming to the military shooter sequel next year. Word is: "Highlights of this major new update include the improved and expanded End Game multiplayer mode, refinements to core game mechanics such as 'stamina' and 'personal protective equipment', as well as the option for Arma 3 content creators to define 'mod dependencies', which enable the automatic installation of mods that require other mods on the Steam Workshop." This announcement has further details and a link to this trailer showing off the update. Here's more:

First and foremost, the Nexus Update adds two additional instances to End Game (Feres & Zaros), and improves the already available Kavala scenario. Each of the three scenarios has a distinct gameplay focus, ranging from small-scale infantry engagements to more long-distance (vehicle) warfare, with player counts between 8vs8 up to 16vs16. Besides the additional and improved End Game scenarios, the Nexus Update adds a brand new multiplayer system in the form of 'Spectator Cam', which, as the name implies, allows players to join a lobby as a spectator. The Spectator Cam system is designed to be modular. This means that, even though it has been purposefully developed for End Game, it can also be applied to, and modified for, community-created game modes.
