MoonWard Going Forward (Autumn 2026)
Welcome to the
"MoonWard Going Forward" (MGF) Autumn 2026 blog!
I'm Mr. Slate and I'm here to let you know what's next for MoonWard in the coming months!

Buying MoonWard or even just hanging out is plenty already but If you'd like to help funding our future projects, please also check our Patreon!
Today I'm Announcing the next MoonWard Expansion:
Lightborn will come as a free update for iOS and Android on 11th of January 2027 bringing:
The Mysteries of the Firstborn of Light!
New Cinematic Intro!
New Deadly Multi-Stage Boss Fights!
New Enemies and Bounties to Defeat!
New Character Creation Options!
Dozens of New Items!
New Lore Books!
Character Codex Entries!
A Ton of Fixes, Balancing and Improvements!
The new story will take you to the oldest corners of the province of Virmgild, discovering forgotten knowledge, unlocking inner powers and tomb raiding for powerful artefacts left behind by your oldest precursor, the first sentient to be cursed by the Light!
Look forward to development updates on our Patreon and Discord in the coming months as I move into full production on Lightborn!
Aigis: MoonWard's Autumn Event
The event is currently on and will continue until the 21st of October!
Long ago the tragic warrior King Aigis earned back his virtue by facing the vicious tempests of the Old God Dosepion. It's rumoured that during this month, the fading deity still grants those of strong and true conviction with meta-natural boons.
The temporary trait "Aigis's Journey" provides:
+25% Shock Damage
+25% Shock Resistance
+12% Physical Defence
+25% Experience from Adventures
MoonWard's Winter Event
The winter event will start on 21st of December 2026 and end on 21st of January 2027. It will feature a new temporary trait with powerful buffs!
Expect more news and lore details when the next stability update (v1.0.65) is released on 25th of November!
The winter event temporary trait will provide:
+25% Frost Damage
+25% Frost Resistance
+12% Deep Defence
+12% Deep Damage
Upcoming MoonWard Sales
I'm committed to continue placing MoonWard on 50% off sales on both stores. This has not and will not change unless I'm unable to. That being said, I'll stop scheduling the sales every month. With the roadmap, I now have a dedicated place to inform you of upcoming sales so a separate schedule is sort of unnecessary. I'll be honest it also makes it hard for me to offer sales when they would be of most interest to you. So, schedules are out - dates in advance on the Roadmap are in.
The next sale will be between the 14th and 21st of November! MoonWard will be 50% off on iOS and Android! Make sure to check it out! If you're on Android you have plenty of time to grab the demo and give it a quick play before the sale!
The sale after that will be at the end of January, after the release of Lightborn, between the 23rd and 30th of January.
Upcoming MoonWard Patches
The next MoonWard patch v1.0.65 will come out on the 25th of November and will include mainly stability updates and polish.
Truthfully, I'm fairly happy with the state of MoonWard when it comes to polish and stability. True, I've still got a list of bugs and typos to fix and while I'd love to get them sorted as soon as possible, none of them are critical. Between that and my ongoing work on Giant's Steps, I'd like to avoid the unnecessary stress this time, so I'm not going to rush this update.
Having said that, if you disagree and have found serious bugs or typos - please, PLEASE, report them on our Discord! It's the fastest and most reliable way to get a hold of me, Mr. Slate. I've always fixed critical bugs reported this way within a week, so don't hesitate to get in touch!
Updated Roadmap!
This has been surprisingly useful to keep track of my timeline and I hope it helps you too!
Here we go:
October:
21st: Autumn Event Ends
November:
14th: Sale Starts
21st: Sale Ends
25th: Stability Patch
December:
21st: Winter Event Starts
January:
11th: Lightborn Release!!!
21st: Winter Event Ends
23rd: Sale Starts
30th: Sale Ends
All of these dates are set in stone as far as I'm concerned, however, if something absolutely needs to change I'll let you know on the company social media, Discord, and in The Weekly Slate blogs.
Upcoming Features
A few things I'll be trying to work on in the next few months:
New intro cinematic. Part of the new Expansion! It's about time I spent some time on this!
Smaller, free, iOS version! This version will be locked to the first county, though it will include all of its content. The story will be slightly altered to make it a cohesive short experience. It will NOT have a way to purchase the full game from within. Like on Android, it'll be its own separate version of MoonWard.
Deep/Occult damage types. Already in the game but they're a bit too basic. I have some ideas for simple mechanics to give them some flavour.
Health/Stamina consumables. I want to add items that boost (or lower) your health and stamina gain from consumables.
Giveaway!
And finally, here are 20 promo codes for MoonWard! Happy Birthday MoonWard!
