BORDEAUX, France – April 23, 2026 – Wartales, the medieval open-world tactical RPG with more than 1MM units sold from developer Shiro Games, strikes for the heart of the city with the launch of its latest DLC. Calm the flames of revolution with Contract: Fires in the Capital, now available on PC via Steam and GOG.
Make for the sprawling city of Isandrin, the heart of the Empire, under the control of its new leader. General Maxime’s sweeping reforms have thrown the capital into unrest, with tensions between rival factions reaching a boiling point. Work tirelessly to restore order as chaos grows across Isandrin’s streets.
Hunt ruthless brigands, tear down propaganda posters, and travel through districts as bards to influence the population. Every action has rippling effects, changing the flow of trade and stability of districts. Quell riots started by unruly citizens and calm residents to restore thriving trade.
When diplomacy and subterfuge aren’t enough, take to the streets in urban combat scenarios shaped by chaos. Chase down fleeing criminals before they can escape and destabilize neighborhoods, escort vulnerable convoys of crucial goods through burning streets, and rescue civilians trapped by violence and destruction.
“Contract: Fires in the Capital offers a new perspective for Wartales, full of political intrigue and unrest,” said Quentin Lapeyre, Game Director at Shiro Games. “Working to stabilize the capital isn’t just about combat because every decision impacts the city, and the Chaos system has far-reaching consequences.”
Wartales – Contract: Fires in the Capital is available now on PC via Steam and GOG for $12.99 | £10.99 | €12.99. The DLC includes English, French, German, Spanish (Spain), Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Korean language support.
