ːsteamthumbsupː Savegame Management

We recommend using your own Wartales save file. To avoid any complications, we strongly advise creating a backup of your save file. It can be found here:

Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Wartales\\save

We also advise not overwriting your in-game save, to avoid losing your progression in the live version of Wartales.

Share Your Feedback

During the Beta, we encourage you to share your experience in the dedicated Discord thread.

Your reports will help the team identify important issues, balance specific aspects of the update, and determine which areas require additional attention before release.

We also want to hear your suggestions! Community Updates are shaped by your direct feedback and designed to improve the Wartales experience alongside those who know it best: its players.

We are listening, Mercenaries!

Known Issues

  • Some icons may be missing.

  • Most of the new narrative text is still missing. However, the gameplay text should be complete.

  • Balancing is subject to change and is not final. We would also appreciate your feedback on it.

Thank You, Mercenaries

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you.

Your feedback, support, and passion have been invaluable throughout the Wartales journey. You have played a crucial role in shaping the game into what it is today, and your continued involvement helps us take the adventure even further.

We cannot wait to discover what awaits us next together.

The Shiro Games Team.
