THQ Nordic and Ashborne Games have postponed the early access release of medieval city management sim The Guild - Europa 1410 from July 16 to September 2026. The delay allows the team to incorporate demo feedback and bundle content originally planned for the September update, including a new tutorial city, UI improvements, and multi-language support. The roadmap remains unchanged.
The Guild - Europa 1410's demo ranked 25th in the Steam Next Fest Most Played 50 list, drawing enough attention that the development team decided to push the early access launch from July 16 to September. The extra time will be used to implement feedback from that demo, and the September build will include content that was originally slated for that month's update. Planned additions include a new tutorial city, UI automation options for business tasks, improved worker and citizen animations, and support for multiple languages (currently only English). The overall roadmap-which promises multiplayer, new maps, professions, and expanded economic, political, and family systems-remains unchanged. A detailed roadmap will be published before early access begins.
