Evaluation

Glorious Companions launched its full 1.0 release on December 19, 2024, graduating from Early Access after several years of development. Following the 1.0 launch, the developer shipped a series of patches: Patch 1.04 on January 17, 2025 added gameplay improvements and new content, Patch 1.05 (referenced indirectly) brought further refinements, and a feature update on February 3, 2025 added new off-hand items, character customization options, new battle maps, and other content. The most recent update, Patch 1.06, released on September 29, 2025, focused on fixing achievements, quest markers, and balance adjustments. Critically, the September 29, 2025 developer post is the most recent official communication and provides important context about the studio's posture toward this game. The developer describes Glorious Companions as a passion project — "a project born from love for RPGs" — and frames the patch as "the beginning of a fresh chapter," noting that previous studio leadership had deprioritized the game and that things have now changed. However, they do not announce any specific future content, expansions, DLC, or a continuing update roadmap. They ask players "what you still want to see," which suggests receptivity to feedback rather than a committed content pipeline. There is only one major content release (the 1.0 launch itself on December 19, 2024), and the post-launch patches have been primarily maintenance and quality-of-life in nature. The developer has not announced any DLC, expansions, or future content milestones. No unreleased DLC appears in the store listing. The September 29, 2025 patch is the last known developer communication, and as of June 26, 2026 — nearly nine months later — there has been no further post. This silence, combined with the absence of any announced future content and the developer's framing of the game as a complete side project receiving occasional care, points to the game being content-complete. The post-launch updates addressed launch bugs and quality issues rather than constituting a sustained new-content cadence. The game appears to have shipped as a finished product, with subsequent patches resolving launch issues rather than expanding the game's content scope.
Evidence
Developer released Patch 1.06 alongside a 70% discount. The post frames the game as a passion project and describes the patch as 'the beginning of a fresh chapter,' but announces no specific future content or roadmap. Developer asks players what they still want to see. This is the most recent official communication from the studio.

About this game

Glorious Companions is a turn-based tactical RPG set in the rich, open world of Navaroth. Lead a group of battle-proven companions through an epic quest to collect all the vault crystals and end Xandar’s Wrath. Play either of the two campaigns or venture into point-limited, wargaming inspired PvP battles in both Online and Local Multiplayer. Command the disciplined and versatile Steam-wielding Valrenay or unleash the fury of the Scarres, a vengeful race of fierce red lizardfolk.

The land of Terscara has fallen into a peaceful coexistence as the 300 year old war between Scarres and Valrenay has ceased to an end. The Scarres seemingly accepted their role as second rate inhabitants of Terscara. Or at least that’s what they want the humans to think. In truth they trust in a prophecy, which promises a coming of a powerful Blood Chieftain, who will help them triumph against the humans.

However, recently a new threat emerged on the horizon. The giant statues called Naalans started rumbling as if they were awakening. More and more folk started reporting weird events happening around the giants. Some even say that they’ve seen the Naalans tilting their heads slightly. In the face of the unveiling crisis, the King of Valrenay decided to call in all brave enough to discover the underlying root of the issue and solve it once and for all.

Recruit new troops to your battlecrew, train and equip them to prepare for the varied encounters awaiting you in Terscara. Choose from different mercenary classes from the two available factions and explore their potentials and unique battle abilities that they possess.

Buy brand new weapons and armor from city-dwelling merchants or hunt specific enemies to loot equipment from their dead bodies. Find perfect combinations for each of your trusty warriors by exploring different skill branches and level up choices. Every companion will bring different strengths outside battle too, be it when setting up camps or dealing with different Points of Interest.

As your companions get better, you’ll be facing a plethora of different threats across the island of Terscara. Starting from the regular bandits and animal enemies, soon you’ll end up diving into the ancient vaults that serve to protect the Crystals of Creation. The time has come to use the Crystals to repair what they’ve caused.

Inside each vault you’ll find a series of rooms populated with unique and challenging enemies, ending up with the legendary boss encounters. Not only will the vault guardians introduce unique battle tactics for you to overcome, they will also provide unique loot opportunities. Use their mythical artifacts to increase your group’s power.

The search for vaults will take you across the vast open world of Terscara, where you’ll encounter all kinds of Points of Interests, valuable resources and settlements. Journey across nine varied regions including icy tundras, misty swamps, scorching deserts, lush forests and The Fiery Volcano.

Visit the beautiful cities scattered across the Kingdom of Valrenay before venturing South to the lively yet dangerous towns of the Scarres Arcanate. On your way, you’ll encounter outposts, camps and mines featuring both opportunities and dangers for brave adventurers.

Forge your legacy in a world on the brink of chaos, where every decision, battle, and companion shapes the fate of Terscara.
