- Announcing Our First Major DLC - Foundation: Harvest Festival - 9 April 2026
Hear ye, hear ye, Merrymakers of the Realm! Since we reached our full release, we have been hard at work dreaming up new ways to expand the medieval world you’ve built with us. Today, we are thrilled to pull back the curtain on our very first expansion: Foundation: Harvest Festival. What is Foundation: Harvest Festival? As we looked at where to take Foundation next, focusing on the heart of medieval life, the land felt like the most natural step. Rural agriculture was the backbone of any historical settlement, and we wanted to give you more agency over how your village sustains itself: livestock, orchards, vegetables and more... Furthermore, we also wanted to break the rhythm of the villagers' daily toil. Usually, your villagers are locked in a strict loop of work, needs, and free time. With this DLC, we are introducing a new narrative moment, The Harvest Festival, that allows your vill…
