We are thrilled to announce that after more than two years of hard work, The Monarch 1.0.0 is officially here! This release is packed with epic content, including 3 legendary units that will change the way you strategize and conquer your foes!



Berserk: A fearsome warrior with unparalleled strength and rage.

Bullseye: The ultimate marksman, skilled in delivering deadly precision strikes.


But that's not all! We’ve added tons of new skills for you to explore, allowing for even more diverse and powerful playstyles. Plus, permanent upgrade features have been introduced to enhance your units and make your journey through the game even more exciting.

Additionally, we have worked tirelessly to squash tons of bugs and implement various quality-of-life improvements, ensuring a smoother, more enjoyable gaming experience.



Even though this is our 1.0.0 release, it’s just the beginning! We’re still hard at work adding new features, content, and improvements to make The Monarch even better. If you run into any bugs, have suggestions, or just want to chat, come say hi on our Discord page. We’d love to hear what you think and use your feedback to shape the future of the game!


Thank you for being part of our journey. We can’t wait to see how you will utilize these new features to become the ultimate Monarch!

Patch 1.09 slightly improves companions, especially Julia and Nadia.

More interactions are possible- from giving them more food or buying them candy, to improving relations with them by the way of giving them (some, and only once) books. It only offers more options, nothing existing was removed.

The Steam Deck Client Beta has been updated with the following changes:

General

• Updated embedded Chromium build in Steam to 126.0.6478.183
  
• Fixed games stored on an external drive still showing as available when the drive is removed.
  
• Fixed some miscellaneous common crashes.
  
• Make the enter action on the login password entry attempt to login rather than requiring navigation to the "submit" button.
  
• Detecting and passing commands to an already running Steam client is significantly faster.
  
• Improve compatibility for native titles that have not been reviewed yet by launching them in the same runtime environment as reviewed titles.

Game Recording

• Added video previews to the Background Recording items in the media manager when hovering them with a mouse or focusing them in BPM.
  
• Added video previews to the Background Recording items in the app details page's screenshot section when hovering them with a mouse or focusing them in BPM.
  
• Added a setting to record microphone input alongside gameplay audio.
  
• In per-game settings, add the ability to record a specified game indefinitely with no specified time limit.
  
• Integrated the list of games where recording is disabled into the per-game settings.

Steam Input

• Fixed crash occurring when querying community controller configurations in the configurator.

Note: This update was re-released October 3rd with the following additional change:

• Fixed regression in beta that prevented game recording and remote play from using the GPU encoder.

I’m excited to share something special with you today—a before and after comparison video showcasing the brand-new lighting in For What Will Come: Reimagined!

Ever since I started remaking the game, one of the biggest improvements I wanted to work on has been the lighting system, along with many other things but that's a secret :) . It’s been completely overhauled to bring more depth, atmosphere, and immersion to every scene. From subtle shadows to the vibrant glow of light in key areas, these updates make the world feel more alive than ever before!

Check out the video below to see how far the visuals have come, and let me know what you think in the comments:





I've also launched the official merch store with limited-time offers on exclusive items! Grab your favorite designs while they last and show your support for For What Will Come.
Once you’ve snagged your merch, be sure to post your pics in the #merch-bearers channel on Discord—I love seeing the community represent!

See you soon in For What Will Come: Reimagined.
