ARMA (stylized as ARMA) is a series of first-person tactical military shooters initially developed for Microsoft Windows. Known for emphasizing realism and simulation, the series combines large-scale military operations spanning extensive terrains with intense close-quarters combat. The debut title was launched in 2006, with the latest installment released in 2013. Over time, ARMA games have expanded to include versions for Linux, Android, and iOS platforms.
The first game, titled *ARMA: Armed Assault*—also known as *ARMA: Combat Operations* in the United States—was released for Windows in November 2006 in the Czech Republic and Germany, followed by a European release in February 2007 and a U.S. release in May 2007, utilizing the Real Virtuality 2 engine.
The latest release, *ARMA 3*, is a standalone title for Windows that came out on September 12, 2013, built on the more advanced Real Virtuality 4 engine. It was initially made available to the public through Steam’s Early Access program on March 5, 2013. Between late 2015 and early 2016, ARMA 3 was also released in earlier versions for Linux and Mac, with the intention of eventually aligning these versions with the main Windows build.
