Wartales News

Sordid, flesh-eating medieval tactics RPG Wartales is getting a new Fires in the Capital DLC expansion in April. It adds a wartorn metropolis to the game - Isandrin, crown jewel of Edoran and home of the Legion. As such, it's a departure from the mucky outland gigwork you may be accustomed to, offering what Shiro game director Quentin Lapeyre calls "a dense, reactive capital, where the Chaos system ensures that every decision can impact the entire city".

As the boss murderer of a troupe of thugs, you are under no obligation to save Isandrin from escalating factional tensions. You can work to restore order, or you can hasten the proud burg's demise, with dastardly methods ranging from the shanking of bandits to outbreaks of public singing. How horrible!

[h3]Greetings Mercenaries,

We are delighted to reveal our next DLC Fires in the Capital, releasing next month.[/h3]

Isandrin, eternal capital of the Edoran Empire and proud heart of the Legion, has long stood as a symbol of order and dominion. Its banners fly over a city built on discipline, faith, and conquest. Yet even this bastion now trembles from within.

Unrest in Isandrin is more than rumor. Chaos can be felt, seen, and measured in the life of its streets. As tensions spread, the capital grows harsher. Prices surge, contracts vanish, riots erupt, districts close, and danger follows you even within the walls…



You are hired to restore order in the streets by all the means available to you. Hunt down brigands, tear hostile propaganda, fund charitable works across the city, and uncover the root of this chaos. All of this will be feature in our next steam blog post.

In the meantime, you can wishlist Fire in the Capital to let us know if you're interested in the next DLC!
