This is the beta test start, not the public release. An exact start time has not been set.
In development
We are improving the resource cycle: collecting, storing in the warehouse and upgrading buildings. A view of multiple provinces is also taking shape. During testing we want to know whether players can see what their realm needs at a glance.
In development
We are working on troop training and attacks that take time to reach their target. We are also testing responses to incoming attacks. The army matters to Westholt, but its balance and interface may change.
For the closed test
A limited group of Android players can test the development build. Their reports help us find bugs, confusing screens and balance problems. Players can register on the beta page.
On the roadmap
We are exploring a more detailed map, online features and new ways to grow your realm. Multiplayer and online battles need additional technical work; we have not announced a release date.
This roadmap is not a promise that every feature listed will be available in the first public release. We update this page as decisions are made.
Sign up and help improve the next version of Westholt.
Westholt Games
Under the Westholt Games name, we are also developing two other Android games. A shared home for our games is planned at westholt.nl. This site remains focused on Westholt Rising; we will share more when we are ready.
