• The EXPERIMENT Update (v1.4.1) - 13 September 2026

  🧪 EXPERIMENT is here The first new game mode in War of Dots, and the start of something bigger. Full walkthrough with everything shown in action is in the video: 📺 Watch the full breakdown here → 🎮 Why new game modes The classic gameplay is good. It is what the game was built on and it is not going anywhere. But after enough matches, patterns settle in and things start to feel familiar. To keep War of Dots interesting, the gameplay itself needs to keep moving. So from now on, new game modes will be added over time. Each one takes the classic formula and twists it in a different direction. Classic stays as the primary mode, always. The new modes sit alongside it for when you want something different. 🔬 How EXPERIMENT works EXPERIMENT is season based. Every season introduces one new feature into the game, and it is on you to work out how to use it. No guides, no established meta, just…

• v1.3.6 - 1 August 2026

  World Economy Update I'm excited to introduce the World Economy, a new layer to War of Dots' world mode. Every player now starts with $1000 to invest across a range of stocks, or to hold as cash if they'd rather play it safe. The combined net worth of every player in a nation becomes that nation's economy, and the bigger a nation's economy is relative to the others, the more territory it captures each day. It's the ratio between nations that matters, not the raw number, so a strong economy is now just as important to nation's success as winning matches. The stock market itself is deliberately straightforward for now. Prices aren't driven by real player demand, since that would open the door to exploits. Instead they follow Geometric Brownian Motion, which produces realistic-looking movement without anything to game. The underlying parameters are kept secret and will change from time to…

  ⚔️ The War of Dots World Update is hereThis is the largest update since the game released, and it lays the foundation for something the community has wanted for a long time: a real, ongoing war between Red and Blue. Below is a rundown of what's new, but the full walkthrough, with everything shown in action, is in the video:📺 Watch the full breakdown here → 🗺️ A new world mapThe map that's served the game for the past year has been replaced. The new one is larger, more varied, and adds several new biomes, which means far more possible battlegrounds, many of them already in the game. Most importantly, it introduces nations for the first time.

  I'm excited to roll out the biggest content update yet for War of Dots. First up, 25 new maps have been added to the game.

Every match, in both singleplayer and multiplayer, is now fully customizable. You decide who plays which colour and on which map, giving you complete control over how each game is set up. I'm also introducing a new official minigame: War of Balls. It's a fun little thing to watch while you wait in the queue to get paired into a match. In addition, numerous bugs have been fixed to improve overall stability and performance.
