Wartales Gets Helmets; First Major Update Goes Live

Wartales has received a major update. The first Community Update introduced a ton of new features to the game, including helmets.

Strategic RPG Wartales, the full version of which was very warmly received by players, received a major update yesterday. This is the first so-called Community Update, which hit version 1.0 of the game. It added a lot of new features and fixed many bugs.

According to the development roadmap for 2023 the June update introduced a number of new features to Wartales, including helmets. For specific classes, they differ in appearance and provide a variety of new skills (about 30 have been added). In connection with the helmets, a new seal feature has appeared in the game. This enables you to combine a specific skill with a helmet that would not normally have it.

All leaders (of bands and squads, among others) will have helmets, and other enemies will start wearing them gradually as the player's level increases. As in most RPGs, it is possible to hide our character's helmet in the game while retaining its effects.
