Kuju was then assigned to make a spinoff duology while Intelligent Systems made a new project. The first was ''{{iw|warswiki|Battalion Wars|game}}'', which released on September 19, 2005 for [[GameCube]], making it the first console ''Wars'' game since ''Super Famicom Wars''. Originally titled ''Advance Wars: Under Fire'', the name was changed so players do not expect the game to play like a typical entry in the series. The game is a departure from the series in that it incorporates more real-time elements and is a mix of the classic formula and a third-person shooter. The second and final game was ''{{s|warswiki|Battalion Wars 2}}'', which released for [[Wii]] on October 29, 2007. The game is similar to its predecessor, but included more units and combat variety, as well as being the first in the series to contain online multiplayer. | Kuju was then assigned to make a spinoff duology while Intelligent Systems made a new project.

Intelligent Systems returned with ''{{s|warswiki|Advance Wars: Days of Ruin}}'' for DS on January 21, 2008. Despite the name, the game is a standalone title with no connection to any prior entry, this time set in a gritty, post-apocalyptic setting. This entry also introduced terrain options and a map editor that allows player to create and post their custom maps online. According to an interview with one of the game's English localizers, the drastic change in setting and tone was done in response to criticisms of the previous titles for being repetitive and predictable. The series then went into a hiatus with no original entries since, seeing only re-releases and cameo appearances for the next 15 years. The franchise was finally revived on the [[Nintendo Switch]] with ''{{iw|warswiki|Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp}}'', being developed in collaboration with [[WayForward Technologies]]. The game was originally scheduled for a December 3, 2021 release before being delayed to April 9, 2022, and | Intelligent Systems returned with ''{{s|warswiki|Advance Wars: Days of Ruin}}'' for DS on January 21, 2008.
