From Press Release:
BORDEAUX, France – March 23, 2026 – Wartales, the medieval open-world tactical RPG with more than 1MM units sold from developer Shiro Games, conducts chaotic urban combat in its next DLC. Contract: Fires in the Capital comes to PC via Steam on Thursday, April 30, 2026.
Rally the warband and set out for Isandrin, the imperial capital of Edoran, where tensions between the Legion and the Empire have reached a boiling point. Large-scale unrest threatens to consume the city and the beating heart of the Empire’s power. Every decision could either help pull the metropolis back from the brink or be the tipping point in its descent into anarchy.
Isandrin is a completely different environment from the frontiers Wartales mercenaries typically explore, and combat is only one approach. Tracking down brigands, destroying propaganda, building support for civic institutions, and even performing as a bard all have far-reaching effects, influencing everything from the prices of provisions to the public mood.
Take on new urban battle scenarios reflecting the state of the capital. Stop fleeing criminals before they escape and further destabilize the city, escort vulnerable supply convoys through waves of enemy reinforcements, and fight in the burning streets while rescuing trapped civilians – all in a constantly evolving medieval metropolis.
“Wartales players have always been interested in learning more about the Legion and the inner workings of the Empire, and Contract: Fires in the Capital is sending them straight into the heart of it,” said Quentin Lapeyre, Game Director at Shiro Games. “This is a new perspective for Wartales, where we’ve always been on the fringes of the known world. Isandrin is a more systemic and reactive environment, and the new Chaos system means every choice players make could potentially impact the city’s entire population.”
Wartales – Contract: Fires in the Capital launches on Thursday, April 30, 2026, on PC via Steam for $12.99 | €10.99 | £12.99. The DLC includes English, French, German, Spanish (Spain), Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Korean language support.
