- WARSAW RISING: City of Heroes - Important Update - 10 May 2024
Hello, We’d like to share some important information about the upcoming changes in WARSAW RISING: City of Heroes. As per our previous announcement, players who owned WARSAW in their libraries prior to August 23, 2023, will receive an update with a special launcher on May 20, 2024. This launcher allows those players to choose between playing WARSAW RISING: City of Heroes or the older version of the game, which was previously available on the “bootcamp” beta branch. At the same time, both available beta branches of WARSAW RISING: City of Heroes will be closed. This change affects the 'legacy_version' branch, which contains the older version of the game, and the 'bootcamp' branch, which was used for public testing for updates. Achievements and save files: Achievements on Steam are tied to the current version of WARSAW RISING: City of Heroes and not the older version of the game. Completing…

- Accessing the Legacy Version - 24 August 2023
Hey everyone, Yesterday’s launch of the new Free version of WARSAW RISING: City of Heroes was a technically challenging affair. Switching the game live, from one version to another, with a major overhaul of the features and content, Steam page assets, the name of the game and the price tag was not without its challenges and we had all hands on board for this. It was never our intention to remove the access to the original version of the game. Unfortunately due to the technical challenges outlined above we ran out of time yesterday and didn’t make it available for the launch of WARSAW RISING. Sorry! As a result we’ve prepared a Legacy Version branch where everyone can access WARSAW as it was before August 23rd and experience the original version of the game. In order to access the Legacy Branch of the game please select WARSAW RISING: City of Heroes in your Steam Library, right click on…
- WARSAW RISING: City of Heroes - 23 August 2023
Five years ago WARSAW launched. A game focusing on a history of the city and it’s history that is not as widely recognised as we felt it needs to. WARSAW reached hundreds of thousands of players on different platforms and was included in the Polish history books, was recognised by German Digital Culture Foundation as a valuable educational tool to teach about World War II and received a lot of attention from both the players and gaming media from more than 40 countries that covered both the game and the theme of Warsaw Rising. We always felt the story of WARSAW deserves to be shared with many more players and we partnered with Institute of Polish Remembrance (IPN) to expand on the historical aspect of the game, to enrich WARSAW with new historical events, characters, missions, cutscenes and Warsaw Rising day by day diary with support both from IPN and Warsaw Rising Museum. The end goal…
- WARSAW Changes - 9 August 2023
Hey everyone, For the past year or so we have been approaching WARSAW with ideas on how we can deliver on expanding the game in significant ways. We always felt that the deep and engaging gameplay, numerous colourful heroes to choose from and adherence to realities that Warsaw inhabitants faced during the tragic months of 1944 were strong basis, but wanted to be able to build upon them. Feedback we received from players, media and creators helped us understand how the experience shaped their knowledge of Warsaw Rising, but also made it very clear for us that the story of those days is not commonly recognised both in Poland and abroad. With that in mind we went back to work on further enriching the game with historical information, tied closely to the game itself, and allowing everyone who plays WARSAW - to have a better understanding of what happened between August 1st, 1944 and October…

- Development Update: November 2021 - 3 November 2021
Hello everyone! Welcome to another Development Update on the changes we are implementing for Warsaw: Homecoming. Before we begin, please consider joining our official Discord channel, which has a shiny brand-new section dedicated to Warsaw. If you feel an urge to discuss (or contest!) any of the following design choices directly with us devs, then you can do so there. Now, today we're going to be taking an in-depth look at some of the changes planned for our battle system. As we have previously discussed last month the plan is to significantly up the tempo, remove the awkward pauses, increase lethality, and streamline some of the mechanics. Let's see how we're proposing to do that: Changes TL:DR; New lane system with a single, long lane New cover system (with heavy and light variants) New activation system with individual action points New range system Streamlined ammunition Revamped UI…
- Development Update: October 2021 - 4 October 2021
Hey guys, As you are probably aware we have announced a new, refreshed version of Warsaw called Warsaw: Homecoming, which is currently in development. Starting today, we will be posting monthly Development Updates detailing project progress and giving you a peek behind the curtain. Before we get started, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Bartek. I am one of the owners at Pixelated Milk, and the guy who oversees projects at the studio. You are likely familiar with me, since I am the person who usually writes these posts and answers on the forums (@barjed), but I'd like to introduce myself anyway. Fresh start and all that. Now, let's dive in! The Goal There's no escaping the fact that Warsaw had issues at launch. Some of those issues were addressed in patches, but many still remain. Our goal with Homecoming is therefore to completely overhaul the game. We'll be adding new features,…

- Warsaw Homecoming and a new JRPG from Pixelated Milk - 13 June 2021
Hello everyone, I have two exciting pieces of news to share with you all. Firstly, Warsaw is changing hands and returning to Pixelated Milk! This means that we will assume ownership of the IP and the publishing rights for the game. This is also why we have been silent recently regarding future updates for the game. No longer. I am extremely excited to announce the second piece of news, Warsaw: Homecoming, with you all. This is NOT a new game. Instead, Homecoming is a promise. A promise stating that updates - both in terms of new content and improvements - will come to Warsaw in the future. Stay tuned for more details. For now, we have this great piece of art created by Runshin to commemorate this occasion: Onward! Today we also finally announce that we are also bringing a completely new JRPG-inspired game to Kickstarter TODAY! Our new title is called SacriFire and features an exciting b…
- WARSAW - new tutorial, new controllers support, new improvements - 7 December 2020
The year is coming to an end and we wanted to share the newest update with you today. While working on the console versions of WARSAW (available on Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, and Xbox series S and X as well) we decided we will want to touch upon and improve certain areas of the game. And these are now – courtesy of the backport - hitting your PC’s today. To make sure this is not something that we are forcing down your throats we will include this as a beta branch of the game where you will be able to feedback the content and take it for a spin before this is rolled into a patch for everyone. To touch upon all the new features incorporated into WARSAW please find the list below: - Reworked tutorial – which should offer a better introduction to the game for those who hadn’t had the chance to pick it up yet. And for those who had, all the stuff we have added post-la…
- More stuff is coming to Warsaw! - 22 June 2020
Hey folks! It's been a couple of quiet months from us, but rest assured - we're still here and we are still working on the game! Here's a small roadmap for the upcoming changes: Full controller support - with native glyphs for PS4, Xbox and Switch controllers Optimization - a lot of the back end stuff has been basically rewritten with performance in mind. Any stutters or lag you had encountered before in the game should be now gone Revamped tutorial - a better introduction to the game if you hadn't played it yet. All the stuff we have added post-launch will now be a part of the the tutorial as well. Quality of life changes - including the requested adjustment of the party formation while exploring. We also have prepared a couple of small UI tweaks for better UX. Bug fixes and balance changes - as usual! This will include achievement fixes and also a fix for the dreaded corrupted save fi…
- "Żmija" live on the public branch - 17 February 2020

- "Żmija" part 2 - Bootcamp - 31 January 2020
Ding, ding, ding! The progression update is here! Because this is such a big change to how the underlying systems of the game work, we've made a new Feedback topic for these changes exclusively. You can find it here. Please let us know if things now feel better, worse, easier, harder or anything else you can think of! We'll be tweaking the balance of the new XP systems in the upcoming days, before the patch goes to the public branch to make sure it's balanced well. So here's what you get in this patch. Experience Points Your characters now gain XP by completing certain tasks in the game, like fighting enemies or completing Missions. XP can be spent on acquiring new Skills and Perks. Characters no longer have to follow a randomized progression tree. All Skills are available for purchase from the get go. XP is unique per character. That's a nice, powerful Franek you have there. Shame if s…
