- Out of nowhere, excellent tactics game Battle Brothers gets a pile of dreadful swords - its first proper patch in a year - 19 June 2026
As you lean back in your chair with a sigh and count the hours left in the working day, a hideously hairy stranger appears in the door. His eyes are yellow and bulging, his beard rank with ale and bogwater, his helm battered and hung with viscera. He opens his stinking yap and bellows at you like an elephant seal with its whiskers trapped in a lawnmower. Then he drops a huge pile of crude, rusty weapons at your feet. That's right, it's finally time for a proper update for Battle Brothers , the mercenary tactics management sim beloved of the Nics we used to know . Read more

- Update 1.5.1 & New Content - 20 March 2025
This update brings a bucket load of fixes accumulated over the last year, as well as some small content additions. You heard that right: There’s actual new content for Battle Brothers, for free. We added two new legendary locations to discover in the world with unique fights against several entirely new enemy types, offering a fresh challenge to the jaded mercenary. Can your company hold their own against the shambling horrors that are golems molded by cultists out of the flesh of the fallen? Can they overcome the Grand Diviner’s dark arts? These new legendary locations are conjoined by a small narrative told through illustrated events. While the first location, called the ‘Abandoned Village’, is suitable in difficulty for mid-game companies and can be found by simply exploring the world, the second location is more difficult and will be revealed only after the first one has been conque…
