Anvil Saga update 0.8 is out! Play now!
We're excited to announce that the latest update for Anvil Saga is out! Hurry and update your game so that you can enjoy all of the new content.
What's new:
- The Fall and Winter seasons have been added, along with eight new modifiers: Beaujolais Day, Foliage Cleaning, Valentine's Day, Halloween, Christmas, Eclipse, Frosty Snowmen, Blizzard.
- Wood and mixed iron orders are now available. You'll have to masterfully fulfill these to make your customers happy.
- There are new items for the blacksmith store to help you complete the woodworking orders: sawhorse, sawmill, workbench.
- Employees have new perks related to carpentry. For example, “Sawing expert”, “Passionate carpenter”, etc.
- You can now build a new level of the forge and decorate it with new items.
- We've added new tools for the store. Arthur and his apprentices can now add Ultra Heat-Resistant Tongs, a Sharp Saw, a Great Grindstone, and more to their blacksmithing and carpentry arsenal.
- Four new complex customers will visit Arthur. Their identities will be kept a secret for now, so you'll have to play through the new update to uncover who they are.
- Arthur doesn't know how to properly work with wood. Fear not, because Sir Philipp will teach him (and the player) the art of working with timber to fulfill wood and mixed orders.
In addition to all of the new stuff, we have also re-balanced all normal orders, fixed several bugs, and added a new losing condition: having your reputation drop to zero with the ruling faction.
Your old save files are compatible with the new update, so you can pick up where you left off. However, if your ruling faction reputation was already at zero, you will immediately lose.
Moreover, when you load an old save, the chests can turn into food cupboards. Sometimes the forge is a bit like Hogwarts.
Unfortunately, we have not yet been able to reproduce and fix the following problem: when loading the 20-day save in the story mode, the game may freeze and stop responding in some cases. And, during the Refugee event, the quest doesn’t show up as completed in the list sometimes.
We are already working on a solution to all these problems and hope to fix them soon.
Update the game, enjoy the noble art of blacksmithing and carpentry, and please share your impressions with us on Discord and the Steam Discussion boards.
Regards,
Anvil Saga Team
Try the new Anvil Saga beta update before anyone else!
We have some hot news for you: the beta 0.8 update of Anvil Saga is now available on Steam. For those who wish to, you can play it now before it's officially released.
We have added new carpentry mechanics, new complex customers, two seasons (fall and winter), eight new modifiers, additional tools and furniture for your blacksmith shop, as well as a new losing mechanic. Updates are available both for the story mode and sandbox mode, but the next part of the story is still in the works.
The old saves are valid, and you can pick up where you left off. But be careful: if at the moment of saving you had zero reputation with the ruling faction, you will lose immediately. But you will see a new game over illustration. There is an upside to everything.
To access the beta build, simply:
1. Click on Properties:
2. Then Betas:
3. Choose the available version:
Hurry up and install the new update so that you can meet all of the brand new customers before anyone else can.

Announcing the winners of the Anvil Saga character contest!
It's finally time to announce the winners of the Anvil Saga character creation competition. We received so many fantastic and creative ideas, which made this decision incredibly difficult.
The First place was divided between two players who suggested Death as a customer. Thanks to CoffinFiller for the fascinating idea, and Rogue Dragon for the original scenario.
The Second place winner is Lemon, who submitted the brave swordsman from Middle Ages as a character who will fit very seamlessly into the game's setting.
And the Third place winner is Hakunamatata and his offer to introduce Arthur to time-traveling and his companions.
We'll soon add these characters to Anvil Saga as complex customers.
We are awarding an additional team prize to Kokuryu NZ for Ragnar, The Viking King, and newxander for his suspicious stranger. These characters will feature as heroes in side quests. Since they need more time to implement, they will only appear in the game at a later date.
To everyone else, thank you for your participation and creativity. Even though your characters weren't chosen, we had a lot of fun reading their stories and descriptions. A special thanks goes to Jokersouldragon, bound_wizard, and NotAbsolutelySure for their cool ideas, as well as PrezSchaefer for suggesting King Arthur. We had already planned King Arthur as a character in Anvil Saga, which is why he wasn't chosen.
All winners, please send F.SnowFlake (Anvil Saga community manager) a private Steam message with your name or nickname so that we may include them in the game's credits.
Don't forget to follow us on Discord, follow the game page, and keep an eye out for more exciting announcements and dev logs!

Meet the carpenter!
We hope you're excited about the next Anvil Saga update! In the next update, we will add two new mechanics: woodworking and wood harvesting. Once you complete the carpentry training, you will be able to fulfill woodwork orders.
You will need to build a workshop with a workbench, as well as a storage room for logs and a woodworking machine.
The carpenter has a separate sign near the counter. If only the carpenter's sign is open, customers will have orders exclusively requiring wood. If the blacksmith is ill – or there is a lack of ore and ingots – your business will not be idle.
And a new losing mechanic has been added. If your relationships with England, France, or the Bandits deteriorate and your reputation with them reaches zero, you risk paying with your life.
Finally, we know that everyone is waiting for the results of the character contest. We've received so many great characters and suggestions that it's hard for the team to decide on the winners. We'll post the results next week!
Don't forget to join our Discord, add the game to your Wishlist, and keep an eye out for our next big update!

Your personal blacksmith Arthur
Your hero in Anvil Saga! Contest
Do you want to help create the world of Anvil Saga and get your name in the credits? Then we've got some cool as steel news to share with you.
So what do you need to do? Well, just think of a character that would visit Arthur with a request for an unusual order.
Specifically, you'll need to create:
- The customer's name.
- Their height, hair color, skin color and general appearance. It's a bonus if you add references or your sketches of the potential Anvil Saga character.
- Their story. Each special customer in the game has a short story that explains who they are, what they do for a living, and what their request for Arthur is.
- And a description of the order. What is the item that the character orders and which parts are needed to create it.
These are the minimum requirements to participate, but you are welcome to add more creativity. Draw fan art, create a full biography, write out the character's lines, create a TikTok about them, make an animation – anything you want!
We will pick 3 winners:
All 3 winners will have their character added to the world of Anvil Saga and have their name added to the game's credits.
The first place winner will have their character appear in the next update, and the second and third places will feature in subsequent updates.
The Anvil Saga team will choose the most elaborate, fun, and original ideas as winners.
And you can enter as many times as you want to! Feel free to submit 1, 10, or 500 different characters!
How to submit your character:
Post your ideas on Steam under this post. Additionally, you can post a description of your character on Twitter, TikTok, or Instagram with the hashtag #AnvilSagaHeroes
We will accept all ideas until 11 November!I
May the power of creativity and imagination be with you.
Regards,
Anvil Saga team
