Mandate Order enters Early Access
Digital Sky's Warring States war city-builder launches on Steam and the Epic Games Store with a complete core gameplay loop.
Mandate Order is now available in Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store, with support for 12 languages. The launch version already connects city construction, agriculture, population needs, production logistics, retainers, diplomacy, recruitment, fortifications, and warfare into one core experience. Players begin with a frontier stronghold and gradually turn population, production, logistics, governance, and military power into one connected system capable of surviving in a fractured age. The Early Access phase is estimated at roughly 12 months as the team continues to refine stability, balance, and content based on player feedback.

Post-launch roadmap: livestock, building upgrades, and the Battle of Changping
The team outlines its Early Access content plan through October and beyond.
The current roadmap outlines planned additions: in late August a new map plus a blue-and-green landscape-inspired minimap update; in September livestock phase one, building upgrades phase one, and another new map; in October livestock phase two, a field hospital, and farmland phase two. Special locations, Panda Warriors, new defensive equipment, and The Battle of Changping story campaign DLC are also planned for later development. The team notes that features and timing may change as development progresses, performance work continues, and player feedback helps set priorities.

Early Access reception: Mostly Positive
Player reviews highlight the logistics depth and tactical battles; pathfinding and performance remain the top reported issues.
As of late August, Mandate Order holds a 'Mostly Positive' rating on Steam, with around 77% of 700+ user reviews positive. Players praise the visible logistics, freeform construction, the Hundred Schools retainer system, and large-scale real-time battles. The most-reported issues center on unit pathfinding around city walls, performance and stability, logistics bottlenecks as cities grow, and onboarding clarity — all of which the team has named as ongoing Early Access priorities. The game ships with 40 Steam Achievements.
