A Small Thank You!

Circle Empires 2 · published 13 Feb 2026, 15:00 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hey everyone,


We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has played Circle Empires 2 since launch. Seeing your feedback, reviews, and discussions has been incredibly motivating for the whole team.

We’ve been closely following everything you share, and your insights are already helping us prioritize improvements and plan future updates. Our goal is to keep refining the experience while expanding the game with new features and content over time.

A Small Post-Launch Update

We’re especially excited to introduce the billhook, a brand-new addition that’s ready to cause all sorts of delightful battlefield nonsense. It yanks enemies off their horses and sometimes even out of their towers. It comes with a few quality of life improvements to the mounting system. Billhooking opens up fresh tactical possibilities, encourages some creative army experimentation, and generally gives you one more thing to unleash upon your unsuspecting enemies. We can’t wait to see the strategies, surprises, and questionable life choices it inspires.

We’ve also observed a brand-new development in weaponised fish technology. The fish weapon now has an upgrade: the swordfish! It takes quite a lot of XP to get there. But once it hits level 2, it’s a deadly weapon fast enough to make your enemies question all their life choices.

Alongside this, we’ve rolled out a bunch of small post-launch updates focused on smoothing out the experience, including stability fixes, balance adjustments, and quality-of-life improvements driven directly by your feedback. This is just the beginning of our ongoing support, and we’ll continue refining things as we go. For a full breakdown of everything included, you can check out the detailed patch notes on the Steam Discussions board.

Take Your Circles On The Go

We’re happy to announce that Circle Empires 2 is now officially Steam Deck Playable. You can enjoy the full experience on the go with optimized controls and smooth performance, making it easier than ever to jump into your next circular adventure wherever you are.
