Wizards and Warlords

Wizards and Warlords launched on September 25, 2020 and has been developed by Valravn Games as a solo project. The game received a sustained stream of patches and content updates from launch through March 17, 2023 (patch 1.0.3.65), adding systems like grid-based battles, the Mythos Editor, custom unit types, new spells, and many balance and quality-of-life improvements. After March 2023, the developer went silent for over three years with no public communications — a significant gap that had previously raised concern about whether development had effectively ended. However, on August 30, 2026, the developer broke that silence with a new opt-in beta post (1.0.5.1b). In it, the developer explicitly acknowledged the long pause and stated that "support for Wizards and Warlords is picking up again." This update migrates the game to a current Unity LTS version and a modern Steamworks SDK, and the post clearly frames this as a foundation-setting step before further improvements. The developer writes: "After that: actual improvements to the game" — and goes on to describe plans to fix major issues, improve core functionality, and flesh out parts of the game that never received proper attention, while tempering expectations given the age of the codebase. Development is clearly active again as of August 30, 2026, with the developer signaling that more substantive updates are intended to follow this foundational beta.
