- Status of Scythe: Digital Edition - what's next? - 19 December 2023
A long time ago, we announced the start of work on the Scythe: Digital Edition code refactor and the creation of two DLCs. We've been silent since then (not counting patch notes, minor updates and community support), but today, we would like to summarize how the work on Scythe looked like and what the game's future is. Refactor and DLCs status Renewing Scythe: Digital Edition has proven to be impossible at this time. Two different teams of veterans took on the project and admitted that the entire game had to be rewritten. This is a years-long task that needs to start from scratch - it exceeded our financial capabilities. We embarked on the journey of creating Scythe seven years ago, when we lacked experience. Today, with the knowledge we've gained, if we were to create the game anew, our approach would be entirely different. As you know a global pandemic and a market crisis began. We we…

Each introduces significant changes that we will add to the base game. Scythe Development Roadmap Code Refactoring The Wind Gambit DLC Development Modular Board DLC Development The Rise of Fenris DLC Development CODE REFACTORING The main task we are currently working on is code refactoring.
