- Servers are closing - 8 December 2025
Hello everyoneAs you may have noticed, monetization was disabled in the game not so long ago. Many people have guessed what this is about, and yes, after almost 10 years we will still have to stop the game servers.Thank you all for playing for so many years. It's nice to know that so many players are still fighting in Warbands, even though we haven't released updates in a long time.The game will be removed from the store soon and in a couple of weeks we will shut down the game servers.Thank you all! It was an incredibly important stage for everyone who worked on the project.

Just reminding that from now-on you can play against players from all other platforms from all over the world. And of course you can attach any device (PC, iOS, Android) to your main account and play wherever you want, against players from all over the world. Cheers! WARNING! Since update review process in Apple takes more time, iOS update will be available a day later than same update on Steam. So if you've already played on a new Steam client, you won't be able to use that account on iOS until update will be available.

It's been far more than a year since Warbands:Bushido launched to Steam Early Access, so it's time to make a few tough decisions and fix some mistakes we've made. As you can see, current progress on Steam version is a bit stale. It's not only because we had to change focus to Android, which took us an incredible amount of work, but also because of some technical issues with updating all 3 versions at once. And it looks like we've finally solved the problem. So the new full-cross platform server is coming, with at least a few hundred players online on all 3 current platforms. Plus there will be 2 versions of Steam client: payed and free2play. Since the game will have unified client, players who have payed for their versions will get a special subscript…
