Arcane Wilds brings new updates and features into battle as Steam’s Real-Time Strategy Fest gets underway today

Innovative Wild West/Fantasy hybrid RTS makes its mark on Steam’s Real-Time Strategy Fest with all-new features and limited-time special discount

Zurich, Switzerland, January 20th, 2025 – To celebrate the start of Steam’s Real-Time Strategy Fest, indie games studio Avancadia’s western-themed fantasy RTS Arcane Wilds will be available for a limited-time special discount for the duration of Real-Time Strategy Fest. On the back of its biggest update to date, the Early Access title has all new features and improved mechanics based on player feedback following its initial launch in November. 

Arcane Wilds offers players an unparalleled gameplay experience, featuring a wide array of mission types designed to challenge and immerse. 30 brand-new perks have been added to the game across various units, allowing players to tailor their strategies on the battlefield like never before. There’s also a brand-new mission type called “Annihilation,” in which the objective is to completely destroy the opponent’s well-fortified base in order to claim victory.

Arcane Wilds’  innovative approach to resource management remains its key feature, adding its own shot of innovation to the real-time strategy blend. Harvested resources remain localized at their gathering sites, requiring strategic movement for effective use. Players can steal resources transported by rival factions but must defend their own.

Since Early Access, the team has also been hard at work upgrading terrain textures, refining unit pathing systems with formations, and—most fun of all—making the cannon unlockable at Tier 3 during missions. Avancadia has transformed the game’s perk system into a visually grouped, tree-shaped layout that offers players a more intuitive and engaging way to enhance their units as they battle across the valley plains and rocky cliffs of Arcane Wilds’ distinctive fantasy/western hybrid setting.

“We’ve taken the valuable feedback from our Early Access launch to heart, allowing us to implement many of the features players have requested,” said Avancadia. “With the release of our major 0.6.0 update earlier this month, we’ve ensured Arcane Wilds is ready to shine during Steam’s Real-Time Strategy Fest.”

Arcane Wilds is available on Steam Early Access for a limited-time sale discount of 20%. To stay updated with the latest Arcane Wilds news, visit the website, join the Discord server, and check out the YouTube channel.
