Hey Wartorn community!
We've been on an incredible journey together since Early Access launched, and your feedback has been the driving force behind every tweak, balance, and addition. From mastering elemental combos to building unbreakable caravans, you've helped shape Wartorn into a world of endless strategy and surprises. Now, we're beyond excited to announce our upcoming 1.0 release is near! This is the culmination of continued adventure, packed with new content that brings the full story to life and takes your squads to new levels!
Now, you may be asking… “I thought there was another Content Update (like Content Update 1) that would come before 1.0?” Well, that was the original plan. But along the way through development, we realized that splitting this content was inefficient and would actually slow down bringing everything planned on the road to 1.0. So, to best bring all of this content to you quicker and more efficiently, it is best to bundle it all together as we reach our 1.0 launch! And here we are, planning to bring 1.0 to you here in the first half of November!
This update marks the end of Early Access and delivers the true conclusion to Yara and Elani's quest. Here's a high-level overview of what you can expect:
Dive into a brand-new desert biome with fresh maps tailored for every mode.
Journey across the new Overworld map of Thyssic.
Thyssic isn't just a new landscape—it's home to new quests, events, and more.
Face off against three formidable new bosses: Brutality, Greed, and a mysterious third.
Discover new events and quests that weave deeper into the narrative, offering unexpected twists and strategic decisions.
Recruit new family members and unlock powerful heirlooms to enhance your runs and reveal more of the Wartorn lore.
Finally guide your caravan to the ancestral fortress of Beynün—the endgame you've been fighting toward!
Earn end-of-run rewards that carry over: Convert leftover resources (coins, food, refugees) into bonus Chord Crystals for future runs.
Family members you rescue and bring to Beynün become permanently available in your caravan for new runs, building your legacy across playthroughs.
Uncover the complete story—but you'll need multiple successful journeys to piece it all together.
Push your units beyond Tier 3 all the way to Tier 5 for ultimate power:
Gain a new trait at Tier 3 to evolve your strategies.
Unlock a fresh ability at Tier 4 for game-changing combos.
Add a new passive trinket slot at Tier 5 to fine-tune your builds.
Hunt for new achievements that reward your mastery of the elements, squads, and Isles.
This 1.0 release is one that we are proud of, refining the core loop while adding layers of replayability and satisfaction. We hope that you are excited with all that is to come!
Full patch notes with every detail, balance change, and fix will drop alongside the release. Stay tuned for the exact launch date announcement soon!
Thanks for being a part of our journey!
See you at Beynün!
