Building the frontier in the open

Hearth & Banner is in active development. This page reflects the work we can talk about now, without turning unfinished ideas into promises.

Current focus

Building the frontier foundations

Updated 28 August 2026

We are connecting the strategic world, its forces, and the first encounter spaces into one reliable development build.

What we are working on

  • Making the Atlas clear and responsive across representative mobile devices.
  • Creating larger and more varied spaces for future battles.
  • Laying the groundwork for world and force state to persist reliably.

Recently completed

  • Established Hearth & Banner's visual direction and product identity.
  • Improved how the Atlas presents large strategic areas at different scales.

Coming next

  • Join the strategic layer to the first hero-led defensive encounter.
  • Continue the Frontier Outpost art and environment pass.
