Norwegian indie developer Bromantic Games and publisher Light Up Games have announced that Folklands will officially leave Steam Early Access and launch into 1.0 on September 9, 2026!

The game's biggest update yet will introduce new multiplayer systems, territory competition, five victory conditions, raider camps, new production chains, expanded game customization and more.

And there's something new to play today, too! A free quality-of-life update is available now, featuring redesigned management panels, new production statistics, an improved services overlay, bug fixes and other community-requested improvements.

For 1.0, Bromantic Games has combined Folklands' remaining Early Access milestones into one larger update, bringing new ways to build, trade, explore and compete.

What's new in 1.0:

• Expanded multiplayer: Trade goods with other players through a new multiplayer market, compete across five different victory conditions and track your rivals through an updated leaderboard.
• Claim new territory: Expand across the map using guard towers and guards while competing for valuable land and resources.
• Take on raider camps: Raiders can occupy valuable territory around the map. Build up your guards, clear their camps and claim the surrounding land. Raider camps are optional and can be disabled when setting up a game.
• Build a bigger economy: Five new production chains introduce wine, cider, oil, meat and jewelry as your Townsfolk develop new Luxury and Entertainment needs.
• Explore and play your way: Updated map generation puts a greater emphasis on finding resources and planning expansion, while new settings let players customize difficulty, raider camps, time limits, multiplayer rules and more.

The 1.0 update will also include additional community-requested improvements, including the ability to manually assign folks to buildings and occupations, alongside further balancing, interface improvements, polish and bug fixes.

Key Features:

• Build a peaceful thriving settlement or enable the optional disasters or conflict mode for additional challenges.
• Planned Steam workshop support will let you create or install new content or modify the game rules to your liking.
• Please your citizens to attract different types of people and trade with the neighboring kingdoms.
• Play with or against your friends or enjoy a relaxing settlement building experience alone.
• ...and more!
