Άγιος Ευστράτιος -- After broadcasting the Stratis teaser earlier this month, Bohemia Interactive has now confirmed an additional island in Arma 3. Situated in the North Aegean and stretching over 19 square kilometres, Stratis adds geographical variety and expands the game's massive military sandbox. The reveal is supported by a fresh web update, trailer, screenshots and info on the Community Alpha. The web update explains how Stratis - which is located approximately 30 kilometres south west of shores of Limnos (Arma 3's 300 km2 primary terrain) - was originally supposed to be Greece's first 'green' island, relying completely on renewable energy. However, due to its strategic position, it was repurposed as a military base for the US Army task force, helping them to monitor NATO's frontline against advancing Iranian forces. Besides a civilian settlement, the dry and hilly island accommodates an airfield, an advanced radar facility and security troops. The new Stratis Showcase trailer visits some of the island's point of interest and offers a first peek at Arma 3's world in motion. Ivan Buchta, Creative Director on Arma 3, elaborates: "Stratis fits our setting perfectly.
