Wartales News

Wartales is a gloomy low-fantasy mercenary sim that prides itself on being tough. Because of this, but also because it's in Early Access, it's also obstinately opaque.

We have today released a hotfix addressing some of the more prominent issues reported since yesterdays launch, check out the contents of this update below.

Update version 1.11896:

• Fixed some sound issues that could cause the game to crash or sound to stop
  
• The first time you launch the game, it will be in borderless, this will avoid resolution issues. (If you have already started the game, you can delete the file "prefs.sav" in the game folder.)
  
• Fixed a crash when you use a movement skill outside the limits of the battle
  
• Fixed a battle lock with "Terror" status
  
• Fixed a crash during fishing
  

Thank you all for your feedback and help in identifying these issues. We're hard at work ploughing through your feedback and putting together fixes for anything we've missed in this update, stay tuned for more!

Attention Mercenaries!

We are proud to announce that Wartales has now entered into Early Access and is available to buy now on Steam!



Well, what a whirlwind of a few months it has been!

From the announcement of Wartales earlier this year, to the mad dash to pull together a demo for the Steam festival, to the recent closed beta and final stretch of develoment before release, to right here, right now, orchestrating the release of our FIFTH game as a company...




First off, we'd like to thank everyone who joined us on our journey from the very start with the demo earlier this year, to have had such a positive reception and to see a community of dedicated and helpful players begin to form around the game at such an early stage was incredibly ecouraging for all of us here at Shiro.

Secondly, a massive thank you to everyone who took part in the recent closed Beta, your feedback and suggestions have been incredible and it is largely down to you that we are now able to release Wartales into Early Access with pride.



A lot of content and features have been added since the demo and the beta, and throughtout Early Access we will continue to develop, expand, iterate and improve every aspect of the game, alongside all of you with your help and support.

New regions, units, items, quests, features, functions, mini games and much more are well underway internally, and will be making their way to the game over time, and we can't wait to hear what all of you think! And we are all ears for any ideas and suggestions you might have that will help us realise the best possible version of Wartales.




The Wartales stage 1 roadmap has been revealed, covering the first 2/3 months of development plan, check it out below:

Instead, I fell back into stale, boring habits like “entrusting the lives of my comrades to someone with ambitions outside of ‘moar acorns plz’.” Not a moment goes by that I don’t wistfully consider what might have been.
