We are very excited to announce that Update 200: Horses has just been released! Today marks one of the biggest milestones in War of Rights' development as horses officially arrive on the battlefields of the Maryland Campaign.
This has been one of our most ambitious undertakings to date. Bringing mounted gameplay to War of Rights required extensive work across animation, networking, gameplay systems, AI, audio, and countless technical improvements behind the scenes. From the very beginning, our goal has been to ensure that horses feel like a natural extension of the battlefield while maintaining the authenticity and immersion that define the game.
Over the past two weeks, thousands of you joined our public tests, helping us identify issues, refine mechanics, and prepare the update for release. We'd like to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who took the time to participate and share feedback. Your reports and suggestions have played a major role in shaping today's release.As always, we'll be closely monitoring server performance, gameplay balance, and your feedback over the coming days. Should any issues arise, we'll work to address them as quickly as possible through hotfixes and follow-up updates.This milestone would not have been possible without the continued support of our incredible community. Whether you've been with us since the earliest days of Kickstarter and Early Access or have only recently enlisted, thank you for helping us reach this moment.
A few days ago, Cody, Bradley & George, hosts of the video series Campfire Chats, sat down with two of the key developers, Senior Programmer Michael Crossley and Animator Flemming Borgen, responsible for creating the horses and talked about the challenges and highlights thus far of bringing the most complex game feature of the game’s history to life.
Starting tonight, at 7 PM GMT+2, War of Rights will be 25% off for a week in order to celebrate the milestone of releasing horses in update 200! It is the perfect time to grab a copy, head into the stables to select your horse and bring it to partake in massive 400 player Civil War battles!
And don’t forget; should you require assistance as to how exactly horses function in the game, there’s a detailed description of most of their features and keybindings in our horse announcement post at:
That’s all for today. We cannot wait to see you all on the fields of glory!
