Establish Deeper Roots in Wartales with Contract: The Fief DLC in September 2025
BORDEAUX, France – Aug. 6, 2025 – Wartales, the medieval open-world tactical RPG with more than 1 MM units sold from developer Shiro Games, introduces a host of highly anticipated mechanics and expands world depth in Contract: The Fief DLC, arriving on PC via Steam and GOG in September 2025.
Raise and rule over a domain of your own, balancing law, production, and governance as your fief expands. Whether you favor prosperity or control, each decision leaves a lasting mark on the population and the identity of your fief, even influencing how other realms respond to your rule, with diplomatic ties that can affect your mercenaries troop’s treatment across the land.
Expand your fief district by district, choosing central and production buildings that fulfill your population’s growing needs. As new factions emerge, scholars, peasants, nobles, and more, their influence shifts your domain’s identity toward militarism, erudition, commerce, or even criminality.
Enact laws, assign mandates, and unlock unique building effects while managing the shifting happiness of your people. Each rest cycle advances time, filling or neglecting their needs: food, security, education, and comfort.
“Contract: The Fief provides an enjoyable and dynamic long-term progression system that we know fans have been hoping for,” said Quentin Lapeyre, Game Director at Shiro Games. “It ties directly into the rest system, allowing mercenaries to grow their domain without breaking the pace or spirit of the game.”
Contract: The Fief DLC will launch in September on PC via Steam and GOG for $12.99 / 12.99€ / £10.99. For more information about Wartales, please visit the official website and follow the game on X/Twitter, Facebook, or Discord.
