Wartales Expansion Pack
Release Date: December 11, 2025
The third major expansion for the popular turn-based strategy and RPG mix. The horror-themed The Curse of Rigel add-on transports us to the Howling Woods, a dark place filled with monsters and challenges that threaten the party's sanity. The DLC also introduces a new class - the alchemist.
After the sea campaign of the Pirates of Belerion and the adventure in the vast war zone in The Skelmar Invasion, the protagonists of the indie game Wartales set out to explore a dark forest. In the third major add-on (not counting minor additions) to the RPG - turn strategy hybrid from Shiro Games studio, darkness and the mental state of our mercenaries play a significant role.
In The Curse of Rigel we lead a company of mercenaries tasked with investigating the cause of a strange contamination in the moving labyrinth of the dark forest. The lantern we carry serves not only as a source of illumination but also as a shield against the darkness that torments with disturbing visions. The risk of exploring the distant corners of the Howling Woods can lead to both the acquisition of valuable loot and a deterioration in the team's mental health due to prolonged exposure to low visibility conditions.
A more direct threat in Wartales: The Curse of Rigel comes from howling beasts that were once human. This monstrous transformation can also befall our heroes, granting access to new abilities. The transformation becomes a subject of study in the camp, providing an opportunity for experiments that yield bonuses and upgrades.
The add-on also introduces a new character class, which the creators mistakenly called a "thaumaturge". An alchemy specialist manipulates clouds of steam to support allies and weaken the enemy. Inhaling his own concoctions increases the efficiency of his movements, but he forgoes personal safety, thereby risking self-destruction. The alchemist class is available for free to all Wartales players.
The action of the third major expansion for Wartales takes place in a remote corner of Alazar, specifically in the county of Rigel, a valley shrouded in darkness, where the inhabitants live in the shadow of an ancient forest. The Howling Woods are said to have paths that do not stay in one place, and those who enter it often return changed (if they return at all). The increasingly frequent disappearances are causing the Crown to send people to investigate the matter.
Wartales: The Curse of Rigel is a non-standalone expansion pack, which means that the base version of Wartales is required to play it.
