Word Warriors,It is time to assemble!

Our 3.0 announcement trailer is live — and it marks the biggest milestone in Write Warz so far.

On April 17th, Write Warz is officially leaving Early Access with our full 3.0 release.

At the same time, Write Warz is also leaving Free-to-Play.Check out our trailer!

Claim Write Warz FREE forever (deadline: April 17)
If you download and play Write Warz before April 17th, you will be grandfathered in and keep the game for free permanently.
After April 17th, the game will be $9.99.

Action steps:

  1. Download Write Warz on Steam

  2. Launch it and play a match (ideally with friends)

  3. You’re locked in before the switch

What’s in the 3.0 Full Release

NEW THEME: ELVES VS SAMURAI
Our anime high-fantasy theme is ready for battle. At the start of the game, each player is assigned to a faction. Work with your team to write an epic story, rack up points, and settle tiebreakers with DUELS. Earn Orb Points to swing the final outcome and change the ending of the story.

MOBILE SUPPORT (BETA) — PLAY WITH ONE PC HOST
To make Write Warz truly party-ready, we’re bringing players onto phones. With the mobile beta, you’ll only need one PC as the host. Everyone else can join from any internet device.

Writing and voting work great in the beta. Some theme mini-games may be limited while mobile support finishes baking — but the core experience is ready to play.

Important: Only one person in your friend group needs to own the game on Steam. Others can join for free on mobile (beta).

TWITCH INTEGRATION UPGRADE — AUDIENCE CAN WRITE
We already have Twitch voting so chat can influence the winning sentence. Now we’re pushing it further: viewers can participate in writing too.

Streamers can add up to 5 audience bots. Chat submits sentences, and our system selects one valid audience entry to join the round for voting. That means your audience can genuinely play alongside you.

Release Stream + Community Night (April 17 @ 6 PM EST)
We’re celebrating launch night with a stream and community play session.

Thank youThis is a huge moment for us. Early Access feedback shaped Write Warz into the game it is today, and we’re excited to move into full release with you.

~ The Write Warz Team
