Evaluation

The Warhorn entered Steam Early Access on January 29, 2019 as a medieval RPG/city-builder hybrid. In May 2022, the developer announced a new, expanded team and began an ambitious effort to rebuild the game from scratch on Unreal Engine 5, running alongside the original UE4 build. Through late 2022 and into early 2023, the team posted regular devlogs and experimental patch notes, describing progress on core systems like inventory, crafting, resource gathering, and multiplayer. A roadmap published on January 22, 2023 laid out six months of planned work covering building systems, new creatures, armor, and more — all described as "most of the mechanics that are the main core of the game." The last developer communication was Devlog #7, posted on May 19, 2023, which confirmed work was ongoing and that "our roadmap contains many more changes that you will see in the nearest future." Since that date — now more than three years ago as of June 27, 2026 — there have been no further posts, patch notes, or announcements of any kind. The game remains listed on Steam in Early Access with its original store description, but there is no indication from the developer as to whether the UE5 rebuild is continuing, paused, or abandoned. The promised content from the 2023 roadmap (building system, armor system, additional creatures, full 1.0 release) has not been delivered or addressed publicly.
Evidence
Devlog #7 confirms ongoing UE5 development with gear progression, new copper age mechanics, and pig creature added. Developer states 'this is just the beginning, as our roadmap contains many more changes.' This is the last official developer communication.

About this game



Weary of the life as a lumberjack, you decide to leave the safe walls of your homeland in order to travel far away and begin the life of an adventurer. Months later, just as you start to doubt your decision, you arrive on an archipelago where you hear about something called “The Warhorn”: A relic capable of granting immortality!
You decide to settle on one of the islands – where your story shall begin.
The Warhorn is a take on the unique mixture of genres, the most important ones being RPG and city-building/management while other distinctive elements in the game come from the exploration, puzzle and open world genres.

  • Explore a vast open world: Including 5 themed biomes like spring / summer, autumn, winter, desert and jungle having their own unique sub-biomes with their own unique resources and denizens.
  • Solve challenging puzzles: While most of them can be done alone, some might need a helping hand – or two.
  • Face various foes: Every biome comes with its own set of animals, beasts and other denizens. Some of them may be neutral, but others could be deadly.
  • Learn new skills: Wield a sword, swing a hammer or laugh at brute force and master the elements like fire, ice and light. Villagers can teach you many things, but in order for them to share their knowledge, you might have to earn their trust first… or a sizeable amount of riches.
  • Build your empire: Learn how to build with different materials and create a village to your liking. Villagers will gather resources for you while your villages’ soldiers are protecting your empire.
  • Be ready for war: Build powerful war machines to either defend your village or attack another in a fight for resources, relics and secrets of this world.
  • Multiplayer: Everything in the game can be done together. Build the most incredible empire with your friends, trade with other empires or fight against them.
