Mercenaries,
We are excited to share our plans for the latter part of 2025 with an updated roadmap.
[b]Community Update 6[/b] will be released towards the end of [b]July[/b] (this month)! This free update will add [b]Tier 5 armours and weapons[/b] crafted using Vermeille, a new red fabric. We’re also [b]improving how information is displayed[/b] during your runs. A [b]new notification log[/b] will now group related messages together, making alerts easier to follow and reducing on-screen clutter. On the roleplay side, we’re adding [b]more variety[/b] to [b]character progression[/b] and [b]storytelling[/b]:
20 new traits
40 new confessions
Some of these are unique confessions, written specifically for unique characters you may recruit
Finally, we’ve made a number of game optimizations to [b]improve overall performance[/b].
Our next DLC is coming in [b]September[/b]: it’s time to [b]claim your own fief[/b].
You’ll [b]build[/b] and [b]manage[/b] your territory from the ground up, [b]construc[/b]t districts, [b]produce[/b] resources and goods and [b]expand[/b] your walls as the population increases. You’ll also take on new responsibilities as [b]ruler[/b], making decisions that affect the lives of [b]your subjects[/b] and the identity of [b]your fief[/b].

We’ve reworked the Wartales DLC catalogue to [b]better reflect the type of content each release offers[/b]. Going forward, DLC will fall into two categories:
[b]Expansions[/b] include [b]large-scale additions[/b] such as new regions, storylines, and factions. These are priced at 19.99€ and offer narrative-rich experiences that expand the core world and lore.
[b]Contracts[/b] focus on new [b]gameplay systems[/b] like managing a tavern, triumphing in the fighting pits, or hunting the Beast. These are priced at 12.99€ and introduce modular content that enhances replayability.
This naming change helps set [b]clear expectations[/b] and gives players a better sense of where to start based on what they’re looking for.
To make onboarding easier for new players, we’re also introducing a [b]Starter Edition[/b], which includes one [b]Expansion[/b] (The Skelmar Invasion, a region that aligns with the base game’s tone and setting) and one [b]Contract[/b] (The Tavern Opens, an example of how standalone systems can enrich the game).

For more experienced players, the Mercenaries Edition offers you [b]the complete Wartales experience[/b]. Owning it gives you all the extra content you need to complete your collection.
