- Update v64 — Youkai on the Roads - 15 September 2026

- Update v59 — Raids, Clan Skirmishes & Roadside Encounters - 9 September 2026
Update v59 — Raids, Clan Skirmishes & Roadside Encounters This update expands what you can do across the world: raid town holdings, defend or repair them, take work from clans, and meet travelers with more to offer than a fight. Raids and Town Defenses Raid farms, fisheries, and other town holdings for supplies and loot. Damaged holdings hurt their town’s economy until repaired. Towns dispatch defenders against raiders, with stronger responses from larger settlements and military buildings. Towns send workers to repair damaged holdings. You can also help with repairs yourself. Added contracts to raid, defend, and repair holdings. Raiding now creates temporary hostility, allowing defenders to intervene immediately. Fixed interrupted raids not resuming correctly after battle. Clan Relations Added clan contracts, with more demanding work requiring better reputation. Clan offers show their…
- Update v58 - 1 September 2026
Update v58 Sorry, the balance was bad last patch. The early game became much more brutal than intended, with sudden difficulty spikes and contracts that did not always reflect the danger involved. This update focuses on correcting those problems. Balance Slower enemy scaling in the early game. Enemy parties now grow more smoothly in both size and quality, with fewer sudden jumps to much stronger units. Rebalanced bandit, mountain bandit, pillager, beast, mercenary, ronin, caravan, and clan encounters. Ordinary bandit groups remain lower quality for longer before introducing more experienced outlaws. Rebalanced clan forces around a broader core of ashigaru and clan warriors, with fewer spear-heavy groups and more varied specialists. Large caravans and clan convoys now invest more of their strength into guards rather than additional civilian carriers. Powerful bear and ghost-boar encounte…
