- 1.3.1.2 Hotfix - fix for mod manager and T4 weapons achievement - 30 July 2026
Hey everyone, a very small hotfix was just pushed to address a critical issue with the mod manager.The plugin we use for modio is now considered legacy and is no longer supported by modio, causing a variety of issues. We need to update this plugin, but unfortunately it is not a simple swapout and is actually a lot of coding work.We are working on this right now, but until then, this hotfix will address the major issue people were having in 1.3.1 where you can't access the mod manager because of a "failed to obtain terms of use" error.This will at least get the mod manager working again. Meanwhile, the team will continue working on that plugin update which should fix other less critical but extremely annoying bugs, such as instances where players were finding their mod list will appear blank. Sorry to anyone who is experiencing that! ːeagleangryːWe also pushed a a fix for another critica…
- Khar-Tib 1.3.1 released - 28 July 2026
Hello mates, Baron here with a small bugfix patch from the Blade & Sorcery team!Though the main goal here was bugfixing and optimization, there were some additional little goodies that squeezed in nonetheless. Notably, a small feature was added where larger weapons can now stagger enemies through shield (and weapon) blocks if they are hit with enough impact, better representing the transfer of force.There is also a neat visual addition to the Khar-Tib map; the addition of Oron and the Azure Star to the skybox! Maybe some of you guys noticed and wondered about their absence, and the truth was we totally forgot to add them until it was too late lol. So we went ahead and released 1.3 without them, but knowing we would simply sneak them back into 1.3.1. ːlunar2019piginablanketːFull changelog below! 1.3.1. ChangelogFEATURES- \ Added new force impact mechanic to long maces, long axes, greatsw…
- The Khar-Tib Update is now available! - 6 July 2026
Hello mates, Baron here! Update 1.3 is now released and this is number 3 of 4 in the series of free Byeth Updates, with the goal being to canonize some of the extended lore of Blade & Sorcery through additional content and maps.But of course it wouldn't be a Warpfrog release if I wasn't able to tell you that as per usual, the update completely derailed off plan and in a typical pattern of self-flagellation we ended up scope-creeping like crazy. ːsteamlaughcryːBut the good news is that's extra content for you guys!Welcome to Khar-TibThe desert nation east of Eraden and across the Khemenet Sea is known for its blazing sands, unorthodox weaponry and unique armour crafting.Update 1.3 brings canonical lore content from Khar-Tib to the base game, and a couple of new features to boot. This was a fun update for the design team as they were able to work on stuff that was more unorthodox than usu…

Just a week to go!In the meantime, check out some excellent mods from the recent Sentara Modding Competition.

Cheers!
- Preview: The Khar-Tib Update - 22 June 2026
Hello mates, Baron here! The Khar-Tib update is just around the corner, as the guys at Warpfrog are clamping down on the last bugs and performance issues.While I don't have a precise release date for you yet, I feel fairly confident to say it is likely pretty soon, and I reckon the next time you hear from me after this will be in a news with the exact date.In the meantime, check out the rest of all the goodies coming to Khar-Tib!Kharese Themed WeaponsThe Kharese weapon pack is quite unusual compared to our the other faction weapon so far, as the designs are quite exotic. Last time, I previewed the khopesh, war scythe and double axe. Here are the remaining weapons coming in the update!Among the bladed weaponry we have incoming is a nice Kharese scimitar, with a curved blade and bone reinforcement along the spine.For dagger enthusiasts we also have this new and unusual dual-bladed dagger.…
- The Road to Khar-Tib - 26 May 2026
Hello mates, Baron here with news from the Warpfrog front; progress is going great on the next in the series of Byeth releases, U1.3 The Khar-Tib Update. ːpraisesunːAnd with that good news, I have some goodies to show you. But before we get into that, a little backdrop on Khar-Tib:Khar-Tib is a sprawling landmass of blistering desert, east of Eraden and across the Khemenet Sea. The Kharese are a decentralized nation, comprised of clusters of clans. In the deep lore, the tribes of Khar-Tib are historically governed by local strongmen types, typically those with deep ancestral roots and ties to their particular clan. However, a new power is rapidly-rising; a powerful warlord is uniting the disjointed clans under one banner, creating a new existential threat to Eraden's position as a superpower nation of Byeth. When it came to designing Khar-Tib, the aesthetics of the update were loosely i…
- Sentara 1.2.1 released - bugfixes - 16 March 2026
Hello mates, Baron here. The guys are already busy working on the next Byeth release - The Khar-Tib Update. However, that hasn't stopped the team finding and killing the bugs that had popped up in the Sentara Update.The team have a Sentari bugfix patch for you today. Notable bugs that have been addressed are things like the discombobulate skill not working, or being able to skewer right though enemies with a spear, which was super buggy (the unintended behavior was being caused by the skill that allows arrows to pass right through enemy).Heads up, if you were experiencing any very strange issues in 1.2.0 that are not mentioned below in the changelog, such as enemy with invisible faces or spell wheels not working, etc, be aware that what you have there is a mod bug! In those cases, you would need to just update your mod to the latest Sentara version, and if the mod issue persists, make a…
- The Sentara Update is now available! - 24 February 2026
Hello mates! Baron here, and the Sentara Update is officially upon us!Update 1.2 is now live, and it wraps up everything we’ve been previewing over the last couple of news posts into one big Byeth release. This marks the 2nd of 4 free Byeth Updates, with the goal being to canonize some of the extended lore of Blade & Sorcery through additional content and maps. Of course I say that was the goal, but then as usual the update spiraled into a bunch of unplanned scope creep... ːamadeus_happyː But luckily things didn't get so out of hand that the ThunderRoad framework exploded, so it's all good, lol.Now, let's get into it!Welcome to SentaraSentara is a small maritime nation west of Eraden, known for its sailors, traders, pirates, and general seafaring shenanigans. We tried to incorporate those themes throughout this update, with the weapons, armour, maps, and even how water behaves.New Senta…
- The Sentara Update, coming February 24th - 18 February 2026
Hello mates, Baron here! The guys are doing the last pass of bugfixes on The Sentara Update, so we are feeling confidant enough to announce the release date for that as February 24th. ːpraisesunː The release of 1.2 will mark the 2nd of 4 free "Byeth Updates", which are all about canonizing parts of Blade & Sorcery's extended lore by bringing these foreign weapons, armours and maps into the base game. In 1.2 we will be releasing a Sentara and Rakta themed map, so as mentioned in a previous news, here is an early preview of the Sentara map OST.Now we play the waiting game! But thankfully the 24th is not too far away.In the meantime, I wanna throw a little spotlight on the recent Rakta modding competition - modders competed to make Rakta-themed mods that were lore fitting and vanilla-inspired, and we got some great content as a result.While waiting for the Sentara release, why not check ou…

If you didn't catch the news last time, check it out here because it has the preview for the other half of content coming to 1.2.Still no release date confirmed, but we are feeling fairly confident about an end of February ballpark.Update 1.2 is going to be all about the nation of Sentara, so let's jump into what is to come!Sentari Themed WeaponsThe staple of every Byeth Update - new themed weapons.As you may have guessed, the Sentari weaponry are inspired by maritime and pirate weapons.To kick it off in the sword category, we have a nice dueling sword and sabre.But it's not just swords, a new boarding axe joins the roster, and an unusual entry to the spear category; the harpoon. In small daggers, we have a fancy looking stiletto.And of course, as revealed in the last news, the classic cutl…
- The Road to Sentara - 18 December 2025
Hello mates! Baron here, and before we all break for the holidays I wanted to give you guys a little sneak peek at the upcoming 1.2 update.The Rakta update is now fully complete, so the team have already moved onto the next in the Byeth series releases - The Sentara Update.This update is themed around Sentara, the small maritime nation west of Eraden, renown for its sailors, mercantilism, and piracy! --This news is only going to be a little preview of things to come. I will do a deeper dive in January, and our hope / ballpark is that this update will be ready for release around the end of February, 2026.But for now, let's get into this news!New Weapons and ArmourThe meat and potatoes of every Byeth update is going to be new weapons and armour, and you can count on every update having these.In Sentari weaponry, the design direction was inspired by Mediterranean maritime nations, drawing…
- Rakta 1.1.2 released - mod manager improvements - 10 December 2025
Hello mates, Baron here! The last patch of the year is here, but it is also the last of the Rakta patches. After this, the next update you will see is the Sentara Update, which is shaping up lovely by the way! I should be able to drop a sneak peek of that just before Warpfrog break for Christmas.But for now, check out what we have in store with patch 1.1.2 - this small update contains a bunch of fixes for Rakta, but the more juicy news is that it actually brings a whole bunch of great QOL improvements to the mod manager.The most notable change is that overall loading and previewing will be dramatically faster. This is due to a variety of changes we made for how mods display, including dynamic loading of previews, which as well as being faster will also give a boost in performance for weaker machines.Check out this comparison gif to see how it stacks up to the last update:Full video of t…
- Rakta 1.1.1 released - 10 November 2025
Hello mates, Baron here! Patch 1.1.1 is here and it is a nice one, with some new goodies to compliment the recent release of The Rakta Update.Rakta Faction in DungeonsThe most notable addition is Rakta enemy can now be encountered in Sandbox mode dungeons. ːpraisesunːWe knew even for 1.1.0 that players would want this and honestly their absence never felt right to us! But the issue we had was it was impossible for us to add a new faction into Crystal Hunt dungeons without rewriting the code for how factions spawn in Dungeons because it is all tied to the progression system. Doing major code rewrites at this stage would have been way too risky and almost guaranteed to have broken the game... so you can see how this would have been far from a "small content" addition which was our self-imposed requisite when making the Byeth Updates. It also would have needed to be shoehorned into the lor…

- The Rakta Update, coming October 7th - 1 October 2025
Hello mates, The Baron here! I have good news to share that The Rakta Update will be available for PCVR on October 7th. This will be update 1 of 4 free "Byeth Updates", bringing canonized weapons and armour from the extended Blade & Sorcery lore into the base game.The Warpfrog team are closing in on a final build, though the guys are still trying to iron out the last of the bugs in the update.

- Preview: The Rakta Update - 2 September 2025
Hello mates, Baron here and today I am going to be showing you what's to come in the first of the free Byeth Updates: The Rakta Update. As mentioned in other news, The Byeth Updates are a series of free content updates from now until the end of 2026, adding lore-canon weapons, armour and some small features to the sandbox and crystal hunt gamemodes. For this update, the focus was Rakta. Rakta is an amalgamation of East Asian cultures, so this was the design inspiration for the team.Now let's get into what is included.New WeaponsLet's cut right to the chase... you all knew it was destined to happen... You know it, you love it - How could there not be the classic katana! ːlunar2019piginablanketːAfter dozens of mods, you can now finally say the katana is officially canon in the universe of Blade & Sorcery.Next, for some thrown weapon variety, one of the featured weapons being added are thr…
- The Byeth Updates - 25 July 2025
Hello mates! The Baron here, bringing you some cool news from the Warpfrog front after a little hiatus.The first thing I wanted to let everyone know is that Warpfrog are officially working on our next game!It is way too early to do any kind of reveal, so we are going to keep this under our hats for now and keep cooking. Then in the future we can do a big reveal announcement or trailer, so that will be exciting. Oh and only because many will probably assume, I will nip it in the bud and tell you it is not Blade & Sorcery 2! ːtmntdonː However, what I can reveal is that the new game will share a lot of DNA with Blade & Sorcery and you will probably find it "feels like a Warpfrog game". Similar to B&S, our next game will be VR, physics-based simulation, as anti-gamey as possible, and super modder-friendly. It is shaping up to be cool! We are also going to be using our new and massively impr…

Hi folks, the team are rolling out a very small hotfix for 1.07 to address an issue some players were having with the mod manager where mod.io tokens were not authenticating. The guys also knocked out a couple of other small annoying things, like an issue with the water in certain rooms being non-swimmable. Changelog below!

- Update 1.0.7 released - 26 February 2025
Hello mates, Baron here with a fresh patch for you from the Warpfrog team. Besides a bunch of bugfixes, we have a surprising QOL feature addition in this update - a height offset. If you are really tall or really short, you probably knew all about how annoying that could, and this was an accessibility feature we always wanted to have but encountered issues with implementation due to the full body avatar. However Wully found an unexpected and nice way around it, so now you can offset your character height vs your real height. This also means you could play the game sitting down if you wanted. ːtmntleoː This update took freaking ages to roll out, guys... After 5 years of development our game framework ThunderRoad has become really difficult and inefficient to work on due to regressions. The good news however is that KospY has been developing ThunderRoad 2. All those nagging issues we had…
