• The Guild 1 Remake: Europa 1410 – The Road to 1.0 - 11 September 2026

  Dear Friends of The Guild,Next week, on September 17th, our Game The Guild 1 Remake: Europa 1410 will enter Early Access. Just in time for our release, we also reached another milestone of over 300,000 outstanding wishlists!

• Europa 1410’s EA Release Date and Clarifying Our Vision - 20 August 2026

  Dear Friends of The Guild,We are excited to announce that The Guild 1 Remake: Europa 1410 will launch into Early Access in exactly four weeks, on the 17th of September. We will also update the demo on the same day, so its content is on par with the Early Access version of the main game. This is a huge milestone for us, and we cannot wait to see the game in your hands.But wait, what's that about the name? Wasn't the game just called The Guild - Europa 1410? Yes, that's right: The Guild - Europa 1410 is being renamed to The Guild 1 Remake: Europa 1410.With this name change, we hope to clearly communicate that our game is inspired by the first Guild game, namely Europa 1400: The Guild. Though the later Guild games have their own identities and atmospheres, and many in the community have grown to love The Guild 2 and The Guild 3, the later Guild games and their life sim elements are not the…

• 4.727 (Beta) - Workshops hotfix - 13 August 2026

  Back again!We're finalising the work on the AI Labor logic for automatic production in workshops. It is a complex system, that was changed with the recent introduction of Priorities- but we believe it is coming back even better as before and it should work much better.If you are using Reforged, please make sure to update your mod to reflect the bug fixes.GatheringFixed fishing boats struggling to gather fish. The boat now takes into account which products are switched on. If Fried Herring is disabled, herring is no longer treated as needed and the boat goes for salmon instead to let workers produce Smoked Salmon.Fixed gathering being cancelled the instant it was assigned once a To Keep value was met, which left workers flickering between "collect" and "cancel" every few seconds.ProductionFixed buildings struggling to acquire raw materials that were left on Auto in the To Buy list, espec…

• 4.724-726 (Beta) - Bugfixes impacting AI Production & More - 12 August 2026

  Here we meet yet again!Another round of fixes, this time we're looking into more fixes for the production of items but also movement tasks, music, character affairs and updated localization.If you are using Reforged, please make sure to update your mod to reflect the bug fixes.PathfindingA single character standing on blocked ground would quietly degrade pathfinding for every character in that town or building, and could blacklist perfectly good spots so that anyone standing there was refused a path entirely. Characters caught by this would loop idle forever, repeatedly failing to move.Fixed characters fleeing someone being handed a wrong destination, sending them to coordinates that did not exist in the building they were actually in.Fixed characters entering buildings that have no interior locators that were required for their task.Fixed movement error reports omitting the actual erro…

  Awo again!We are now releasing the fixes for the following features.If you are using Reforged, please make sure to update your mod to reflect the bug fixes.Building Management - ProductionFixed the priority production order you set not reaching the workers properly: the displayed priority is now applied.Fixed some issues with the To Keep values.Fixed workers going idle when one recipe was blocked on a missing ingredient, instead of moving to a recipe they could actually make temporarily.Fixed the building owner being ignored by auto-management, leaving them stuck on a single product indefinitely.Fixed buildings reporting "Inventory is full" while auto-management never bought the item-slot or stack-size upgrades that would resolve it & made unlocking upgrades better overall.Building Management - CartsFixed carts not always properly fetching the ingredients a building needed for productio…

• Economy and Events in The Guild - Europa 1410 - 31 July 2026

  Greetings, aspiring business owners!Welcome to our 7th dev diary! Last time we talked about goods and items; now we want to expand on this and focus on in-game economy and the effects of global events on your playthrough. These are two of the most discussed topics since the release of our demo of The Guild - Europa 1410. Before we get into the thick of it, a small disclaimer: The Guild - Europa 1410 is in active development, and economy as well as events are still in an early stage. What you can currently see in our demo does not yet properly reflect our vision for this portion of the game - improving and expanding economy gameplay will remain an ongoing task throughout the Early Access period.Now, with that out of the way, let's dive into it!EconomyEconomy, or "when to buy, when to sell", was always an important part of every The Guild game. While this mostly refers to the game's marke…
