Mittelland AD launched on October 27, 2025 as a revised version of the 1996 classic Die Fugger 2, featuring improved music, bug fixes, English localization, and other enhancements. Since launch, the developer BKM has maintained an active and consistent stream of updates. Early patches (November–December 2025) addressed stability, cloud saves, and compatibility. Into 2026, updates grew more substantial: Update 5 (February 18, 2026) overhauled fonts and maps for readability, Update 6 (March 8, 2026) added an optional Legacy graphics branch, and Update 7 (June 4, 2026) introduced aspect ratio customization. The developer also released a companion title, Mittelland AD Origins — a restored version of the original 1988 Fugger game — on May 19, 2026, commemorating the 30-year anniversary of the series. While no specific future content for Mittelland AD itself has been formally announced, the developer has remained consistently engaged with the game through June 2026, regularly shipping improvements and new features. No statement indicating the conclusion of development has been made.

About this game

Germany in the year 1600 – an inheritance opens the gates for you to trade and politics of the time. Step into the world of the Thirty Years’ War, experience the end of the Middle Ages and the dawn of the Age of Enlightenment. Struggle through the thorny world of commerce, intrigue, and politics. Increase your wealth and secure the favor of those who can pave your way from poverty to splendor and riches, open the doors to important offices, or cover your dark dealings.

It is in your hands whether you rise to the high nobility or end up in the debtor’s prison.
