Evaluation
The Valiant launched on October 19, 2022 and received a series of patches through its first year — primarily bug fixes, balance improvements, and feature additions like Skirmish Mode and Tactical Pause. The most significant post-launch update was Patch 1.09, released on July 11, 2023, which constituted a substantial overhaul: it reworked the final boss fight, added tactical pause, introduced full gamepad support, released a multiplayer demo, and shipped the Coat of Arms Collection cosmetic DLC. Both DLC items listed on the store — the Coat of Arms Collection and the Soundtrack — are marked as released. The developer's July 6, 2023 dev report acknowledged that communications had gone quiet after the initial launch patches while the team was preparing console and multiplayer improvements, framing the 1.09 update as the culmination of that effort. No further news posts, roadmaps, or announcements of future content have been made since July 11, 2023 — nearly three years of silence as of today (June 22, 2026). The game launched as a complete single-player campaign with multiplayer modes, and nothing in the developer's communications points to any planned expansions or additional story content beyond what has shipped. The 1.09 patch, which addressed the most-requested community features and shipped the final DLC, reads as the natural conclusion of the post-launch support cycle.

About this game
We are the brave, the Valiant, and the strength of our brotherhood will see us to victory in our quest.
Theoderich takes on the quest of locating the remaining relics to keep them from Ulrich and begins a journey that will lead him across Europe and the Middle East. Throughout his journey, he’ll meet many other warriors that decide to rally to the cause, from the old, seasoned Reinhard von Kempten of the Teutonic Order to the ambitious young mercenary Grimhild Eidottr and her Raven Company, each joining for different reasons, but slowly forming bonds that will keep through the trials and tribulations to come.

A young monk named Malcom appears at Theoderich’s doorstep, bringing him news that the Rod contains power never meant for mortals, and Ulrich has become obsessed with finding the remaining pieces and unifying the rod, an event that could bring untold evil and suffering to the world.Theoderich takes on the quest of locating the remaining relics to keep them from Ulrich and begins a journey that will lead him across Europe and the Middle East.
