Not single releases - a list of the best game mods of 2021 has appeared

On the portal with modifications for video games Mod DB, a rating from the administration of the portal appeared, in which they tried to compile all the best mods that came out in 2021. They have been divided into various categories. Users were also allowed to determine the fate of certain mods. To do this, they took part in the voting for the most liked mods.

Best Mods According to Mod DB Administrators

• Slayer's Testaments for Quake was chosen as the best mod for a singleplayer game. It allows fans to go back to the roots of video games and play Quake with elements of the modern version of DOOM.
• Bannerlord Online has received the status of the best multiplayer modification. The mod is an online mode for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, which went into Early Access last March and continues to be improved by the developers.
• TIE Fighter: Total Conversion for Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance has been widely recognized as a mod that brings the best graphics improvements.
• Command And Conquer: Generals Evolution is the most global expansion pack of 2021. It was released for Command And Conquer: Red Alert 3 and recreates another well-known strategy game, Generals, in the title.
• The title of modification with the best support went to Expanding Fronts for Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds. Its creators have been working on the mod for nine years now.
• The Unification Mod Dawn of War: SoulStorm, released for Dawn of War: Soulstorm, was named the best mod worthy of being an official add-on to the game. It expands the capabilities of Dawn of War: Soulstorm, adding 17 new factions.
• Some fan mods are not only created for entertainment and to improve visual or gameplay possibilities. The authors of the Between Empire mod for Mount & Blade: Warband, for example, showed a colossal and painstaking work that allowed them to achieve impressive historical accuracy. Mount & Blade: Warband is an excellent platform for such creative ideas and the authors of Between Empire realized their potential with might and main. Now, thanks to them, users can immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the second half of the 19th century and relive the events that took place in this time period.
• The Best Adaptation award went to The Old Realms. The mod is a non-canon crossover between Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord and the Warhammer universe, adding characters from there to the world of the second part of Mount & Blade.
• The Best Twist award went to Mass Effect: Unification, which is a mod for the classic Star Wars Battlefront II. He adds Mass Effect characters to Star Wars, completely redesigning combat.
• The Warcraft: Guardians of Azeroth 2 mod for Crusader Kings III has been named the most anticipated mod for 2021. Apparently the mod brings Crusader Kings III into the Warcraft universe.
