Wartales Receiving New Community Update in September

Shiro Games announced a new upcoming free update for tactical RPG Wartales. Community Update 7 will release on September 7, 2026, with an open beta version available now. It includes prisoner and criminal activity reworks, a new underworld hub location, three new armor sets, and six new battle maps, as well as a selection of community-requested improvements.

Wartales takes place in the remnants of the Edoran Empire, which still suffer from the effects of a plague one hundred years earlier. Players attempt to survive the cutthroat world by recruiting mercenaries and taking on dangerous missions to pay the bills. The game released for PC in April 2023, before also being released on Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X|S.
