Hi everyone,

While we're still hard at work on the full release of Sandwalkers, coming in Q2 2025 (release date announcement coming soon!), we're excited to share Update 1.3, "Trial of Strength", which brings a large batch of new content and improvements to the base game.

Our next big milestone is v2.0, which will mark the end of Early Access and introduce new questlines leading to Umama. We can't wait to bring you the final version of Sandwalkers!

Until then, we hope you enjoy this latest update!

Hi everyone! Patch 1.2.5 is here with new bugfixes (including a major one for a blocker in fights) and some polish as well.

While 1.2.5 was supposed to be the last "Bugfix focused patch", we are not quite exactly where we wanted to be in terms of bugfixes yet, and there will be a 1.2.6 bugfix focused patch in January. We do work on 1.3 in parallel of this patch though, so the new content is being worked on! Can't wait to show you what's coming!

Until then, please find the full patchnote below. Once again, thanks a lot for playing Sandwalkers and for your feedback, that helps us improving Sandwalkers beyond what we could've done by ourselves!

Cheers!
