We've been building Barracks in the trenches for the past year, and it's time to share where we're going. This isn't a vague vision deck - it's a concrete roadmap with timelines, features, and a very real opportunity for early adopters who want to shape the platform alongside us.
First, the big news: free WarZones are coming. We believe every security practitioner deserves access to realistic training environments, regardless of budget. The free tier will include rotating WarZones - live, evolving environments that reset weekly. You'll face real attack surfaces, not sanitized lab exercises. No credit card. No trial expiration. Just pure, unfiltered training.
For teams and serious practitioners, we're introducing premium tiers. Premium unlocks persistent WarZones that don't reset - you can build long-running campaigns, track your progress over weeks, and develop the kind of deep operational instincts that only come from sustained engagement. Enterprise tiers add team analytics, custom WarZone configurations, and our Intelligence Reports that map cognitive patterns across your security team.
Now, the Beta Brigade. If you're reading this, you're early. Beta Brigade members get three things that nobody else will: lifetime pricing locked at our beta rate (which is roughly 60% below what our launch pricing will be), direct access to our product team through a private Discord channel, and the ability to vote on which WarZones we build next.
We're not just building a product - we're building a community of practitioners who are tired of the gap between certification exercises and real-world security work. The Beta Brigade is our way of saying: if you believe in this mission, we want you at the table.
The timeline: free WarZones launch in Q2 2025. Premium tiers go live in Q3. Beta Brigade enrollment closes when we hit 1,000 members - we're at 640 right now. If you want in, the window is narrowing.
We'll be publishing detailed breakdowns of each tier, WarZone rotation schedules, and enterprise feature specs over the coming weeks. For now, enlist in the Beta Brigade and help us build the training ground the security industry actually needs.
