- Frostveil: Critical Fix – Campaign Length & Pacing Adjustment - 9 April 2026
Survivors, Greetings to all leaders surviving in the frozen lands of Frostveil! Today we have deployed a crucial update to fix a technical issue that was significantly impacting the game's intended pacing and total campaign length. Patch Notes: Campaign Duration Fix: Resolved a critical bug where the game would prematurely end at Day 60 instead of the intended 180-day cycle. You can now experience the full weight of the 1920s Anatolian winter and the complete narrative arc as originally designed. Narrative Pacing Optimization: Event timelines and main quest schedules have been re-synced to match the corrected 180-day duration. This fix ensures you can fully immerse yourself in the grueling, long-term survival struggle that Frostveil is meant to be. Thank you for your continued support and for reporting these issues!
