[p]DISCLAIMERS: [/p][p]⚠️ We decided to keep Dev version of the game on the experimental branch, and that means that a Dev log with red text will appear from time to time. This will help us get more info from your side when crashes and bug reports occur.[/p][p]⚠️ Also, at the moment, the experimental and the main branch are different. You should not play saves from the experimental branch on the main one as it can cause various bugs - please avoid doing this.[/p][p][/p][p]As always, use F10 and/or the experimental bug subforum for reporting experimental issues. If you want more dynamic/direct communication - head over to our Discord server. Even though we might not reply, we are reading everything. Thank you![/p][p][/p][p]Foxy Voxel[/p]

Launch Date Update

[p]Greetings, medievalists![/p][p][/p][p]We originally planned to release on March 12th. However, as the date approached, it became clear that it was shaping up to be a very crowded week for city builders and colony sims.[/p][p][/p][p]Rather than asking players to split their time between exciting launches on the same day, we decided to move our release slightly.[/p][p][/p][h3]Going Medieval will now launch on March 17th.[/h3][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]It’s only a few days later, but in today’s market, visibility really matters. Almost every week brings multiple great-looking games, and we want to give Going Medieval the space it deserves - both for our long-time supporters and for new players discovering it for the first time.[/p][p][/p][p]March 17th feels like a better moment for us to step into the spotlight. We hope you understand the decision, and we truly appreciate your patience.[/p][p][/p][p]In the meantime, tell your friends, rally your settlers, share your creations, stream the game, and most importantly - have fun.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for being part of this journey. And while you wait, don't forget to...[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Stay medieval![/p][p][/p][p]Foxy Voxel [/p][p][/p][p]Discord Reddit X/Twitter Bluesky TikTok Facebook[/p]

Colony sim Going Medieval, aka friendlier Rimworld, hits 1.0 release in March after 16 major updates

Colony sim and city builder Going Medieval will leave early access on 12th March, at which point it will presumably be retitled Gone Medieval. Yes, this is the sort of joke that ought to get you imprisoned – imprisonment being one of many features added to Going Medieval since the winter of 2021, when Sin described it as “a buildier, friendlier Rimworld spinoff”.

Other elements introduced over the long, increasingly Medieval years include fire, water, siege weapons, and a trading system. The 1.0 launch will bring “a proper endgame, wonderful improvements, new content, and a lot of achievements”, write developers Foxy Voxel on Steam. God be praised! Break out the good wine, slaughter the prize calf and let the trumpets ring from the battlements! Here’s a trailer.
