Wartile News

Hi Everyone

In the footsteps of Wartile, both in spirit and visual expression, we are excited to reveal our next game in development, SUCCESSOR.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

As most of you know, we wanted to create a fresh angle on the Strategy genre with Wartile and honestly gained lots of learnings in the process.

With Successor, we aim to bring those lessons to use in a way where we still keep our unique edge and identity, but also meet the expectations and feedback from our community in creating a great and entertaining game experience.

You can learn more about Successor below and please consider supporting us with a follow or wishlist.

Our Wartile Vikings arrived on the US shores this week and to raid the Nintendo Switch, hopefully making quite a spectacle.

Our second fleet heading for the Nintendo Switch European regions got lost at sea, but they will hopefully find their bearings and arrive shortly.

As a small independent studio, shipping our first production Wartile to Steam, Xbox One, PS4, and now Nintendo Switch is an outstanding achievement. We hope it will help us continue to elaborate and grow the Wartile franchise.

All this is thanks to our fantastic community, who embraced and enjoyed Wartile despite being different and innovative toward strongly defined genres. For that, we are very grateful ːsteamhappyː

We would also like to use the opportunity to assure you that we are still very active and working hard on something secret ːsteammockingː

Hi everyone

We have just released a small hotfix patch v 1.2.114.0 to fix a few pretty grave bugs that slipped through with the Hel's Nightmare DLC

• Fixed a bug At Funeral Mound, the 2nd and 3rd level, where Ralf Stonebone and Ulf Spearhead did not count in the objective counter, when killing them, making it impossible to reach 4 out of 4 kills.
  
• Fixed an issue in Caves of Yggdrassil where spirits located in the "key" room would spawn endless copies of themself, making it impossible to reach the key, yet escape the room.
  
• We have also fixed an issue with the intro menu that, to some players, resulted in a remarkable FPS drop.
  

In the meantime, we have been made aware of other potential bugs that we are working on reproducing and apply a fix as soon as possible.

• At some boards, the music comes to a halt and restarts.
  
• At Caves of Yggdrasil, the secondary objective counts as completed even if it's not.
  
• There might be a bug with saving progress if leaving the game directly after completing a battle board.

About Hel's Nightmare

Evil powers have been awoken, and a horde of Draugr Warriors is pouring into the Norse regions, leaving trails of death and chaos in its wake. The King of the North watches as villages are pillaged, and its civilians captured and brought to Hel's Pillar.

Once again, your fellowship must raise arms against the undead threat.

Enjoy five brand new handcrafted battle boards, continuing the story after Niflheim. Each battle board is offering variated tactical challenges, set in a unique mood and style. Lead your Viking fellowship into the Hel's Nightmare accompanied by the new hero Ogier the Dane.



As the world outside comes to a complete standstill, we also work from home, trying to adapt our work and family life with the situation.

Our thoughts and sympathy go to everyone affected by the current events and hope that at least we can bring some joy and happiness into everyday life.
