Content
Medieval 2025 Event Get ready for the upcoming Medieval 2025 event! Some event-related content is now live for early access and testing.
Gameplay Updates
Survival Mode Missions New missions have been added to Survival mode as a sneak peek of the upcoming seasonal wipe. Get in early, explore the changes, and prepare for what's coming!
Bug Fixes & Improvements
Launcher Update We've released a new launcher to fix issues some players faced during game downloadsโsuch as the "Failed to get information" error. These problems were related to HTTP/HTTPS access. If you had one of these errors, please update your launcher and try again.
Additional Dropped Models (Physics Disabled) Weโve added more dropped item models for cases where players have physics disabled in-game. This helps prevent gear from appearing to float or behave oddly when dropped.
Thanks for playing, and stay tuned for the full Medieval 2025 rollout! โ๏ธ
