Wingspan News

Wingspan Special (box) Edition is coming to Nintendo Switch later this year!

[h3]Hey Birders![/h3]

Today, we've got one short announcement that we couldn't wait to share with you for some time now. This is something for all of the magpies among you who love to collect things and have a sweet spot for collections of physical games. As you probably already guessed from both the title and the header image...

Wingspan is getting a physical edition on the Nintendo Switch!


For this, we've partnered with Merge Games, a company known for releasing great games, both physical and digital. With their help, we'll be able to bring the feathery fun Wingspan offers to the owners of Nintendo's hybrid console - the Nintendo Switch.

This bird is no small sparrow, too! We've packed the box full of content - Wingspan: Special Edition will include the following:
- Wingspan Digital
- European Expansion
- Oceania Expansion
- Seasonal Decorative Pack

As for the release date, that's something we'll share with you real soon, but for now, if you want to secure a copy to wrap your wings around as soon as it launches, you can pre-order the Nintendo Switch physical edition now! Just click on the below link:

💙❤️ Pre-order Wingspan Special Edition here ❤️💙

We hope this release will be a great addition to your physical video game collection, a starting point for a new one or a box that will perch nicely right next to your board game edition of Wingspan. Either way, we hope you're as eggcited for this as we are!

We'll be sharing news regarding the release date as soon as possible, so be on the lookout for that.

Hotfix - April 22

[h3]Birders!

A new hotfix is flying your way!

In this one, we're taking care of several issues with bird powers, encouraging a few birds to fully show their feathers by fixing their animations and more.
Also, joining Online matches is now improved.

Check out the changelog below:
  • Fix for nectar appearing in some bird powers when playing without Oceania Expansion.
  • Fix for Turkey Vulture being triggered by Sacred Kingfisher.
  • Fix for players not being able to pay with cached seed while using Kea's power or Grassland bonus conversions.
  • Fixed several birds' animations.
  • Fix for instances of online matches showing two players the same starting hand
  • Online matches will now assign joining players to their seats in the correct order.

Have a great week and remember: keep your beaks sharp and your game up-to-date![/h3]

[UPDATE] Online Maintenance - April 5th

[h3]Birders!

Our servers are now back up and running!

You can now access the Online mode and create new games. Unfortunately, fixing the problem took its toll, and games started before yesterday’s incident were deleted. We are deeply sorry for this, but it was unavoidable.

We are still observing the server's behavior. We feel rather optimistic about it, but we want you to know there’s still a risk of an issue. We hope it will remain stable, but we stay alert.

Right now we’re keeping in touch with our online service provider to work out this situation and prevent such events in the future.

Thank you for your patience and for staying with us. We are very grateful for all your support, especially in moments like this one. We're working hard to provide you with the best online experience. Please rest assured that we’ll do our best to make it happen.

Have a good weekend[/h3]

Online Maintenance - April 5th

[h3]Due to yesterday’s server error, we are continuing our work on fixing the ongoing issues. For this reason, Wingspan servers are currently down due to undergoing maintenance.

During this time Online mode will be locked and it won’t be possible to complete or create new multiplayer games.

We will inform you when the maintenance ends in an upcoming announcement.

We are deeply sorry for this inconvenience. We hope that soon we’ll be able to provide our eggscelent Birders a fully-fledged Online mode.

Have a great Friday and we’ll be back with you shortly!

PS. Please remember to update your game. The latest patch is not related to the server issues and it provides many improvements for your game and overall Wingspan experience in the future.[/h3]
