Summer’s hot Wargroove 2 news 
Hey Strategy Fans!
Wargroove 1.2.7 is here! Arriving with mod support, balancing updates and bug fixes, this update is a chunky one.
Balancing Updates
We noticed some Commanders were becoming too dominant due to how quickly their Tier 2 Grooves could be charged. To address this, we’re trying out some slower charge times for Emeric and Wulfar. Emeric now has a slow charge time, and Wulfar has been changed to a medium charge time.
We also found Valder’s Tier 2 was a little too powerful for our liking. Instead of double damage, we have now decreased damage to 1.5x to see how he performs in competitive settings.
We’re continuing to work out the sweet spot for Trebuchets, due to how dominant they can can be. In this update we’ve reduced the damage they do to structures by 15%
We’re actively monitoring Discord and Reddit for all feedback, so keep talking about your games and letting us know about your competitive highs and woes!
Bug Fixes
We’ve been addressing some critical issues, including game crashes that occurred after suspending multiplayer games and bugs that caused soft-locks when using certain gamepad buttons. Performance and functionality issues have been tackled for better stability.
We’ve also put a lot of work into mitigating connection errors and solving filter menu issues to improve Multiplayer. Additionally, we’ve fixed various visual bugs and localisation issues to ensure consistency across different languages. Check out the patch notes at the bottom of this post for the full list of fixes!
Modding Support
Mod Support is now officially live! Previously available in the preview branch, our modding community have been testing Mod Support and making their own! We’re excited to feature some standout mods, including “Wargroove 2: Requiem Thrall,” which expands the Guardian faction, and “Wargroove Triple Trouble,” reintroducing the outlaw faction.

Wargroove 1 + 2 Physicals
In other exciting news, May saw the release of a limited edition physical bundle of Wargroove 1 + 2 with Super Rare Games. Thanks to you folks, it sold out within 24 hours! For our fans in Japan, we also released another Wargroove 1 + 2 physical edition in collaboration with Happinet. It’s heartening to see such a warm reception for both editions worldwide!
