Description
The ARMA series (stylized as ARMA) is a first-person tactical military shooter franchise renowned for its emphasis on realism and simulation. Originally debuting in 2006 for Microsoft Windows, the games merge large-scale military engagements across vast environments with close-quarters combat. The inaugural title, *ARMA: Armed Assault*—marketed as *ARMA: Combat Operations* in the U.S.—launched in November 2006 in the Czech Republic and Germany, followed by wider European and North American releases in early and mid-2007. Built on the Real Virtuality 2 engine, it established the series’ core identity. *ARMA 3*, a standalone successor, arrived on September 12, 2013, powered by the Real Virtuality 4 engine. It first entered public testing via Steam’s Early Access program in March 2013. While initially Windows-exclusive, Linux and macOS versions followed in late 2015 and early 2016, though these lagged behind the Windows edition’s updates. Over time, the franchise expanded to additional platforms, including Linux, Android, and iOS, while maintaining its roots in tactical depth and sprawling battlefield simulations.
