Shiro Games has announced that Contract: The Fief, the next DLC for Wartales, will release on September 25, 2025. The expansion will be priced at $12.99 | £10.99 | €12.99, with a 10% launch discount available for the first 14 days.
The add-on introduces one of the most requested features since the game’s Early Access days: the ability to own and rule a fief. Players won’t just conquer land—they’ll have to manage it.
Governance and Expansion
The DLC centers on expanding districts, constructing buildings, and ensuring the needs of subjects are met. Food, security, education, and commerce are core demands, with each rest period advancing construction and the passage of time.
Markets, taverns, farms, and training grounds all contribute to stability. Neglect these systems, and discontent can grow quickly.
Power and Consequences
Ruling styles vary, letting players shape their fief through ideals of strength, wisdom, profit, or crime. Laws, mandates, and alignment choices push governance toward tyranny, trade dominance, or people-focused rule.
Upgrading buildings, unlocking new features, and raising monuments expand your dominion, but authority always comes with consequences. Every decision—from economic choices to silenced voices—echoes across the throne room and beyond.
Contract: The Fief asks players to decide whether their domain will thrive as a beacon of order or collapse under corruption. The DLC drops September 25.
