Let’s catch you up.

With the notable exception of a peculiar and mysterious patch for Expeditions: Rome that was released in November of 2024, it’s been radio silence from us for roughly 2 years. Though speculation ran wild about the origin of the patch, no official explanation was ever given.

We are finally ready to reveal that Campfire Cabal is still alive. Though we did have to say goodbye to many of our colleagues, the studio survived and a compact team continued the project we had started in 2022. At the end of March of 2025, we received the green light to scale up slightly and transition into full production.

If you follow the insider news, you are aware that it’s been a rough couple of years in the game industry. Investment dried up, studios shut down, countless developers lost their jobs, and games were cancelled left and right. We are extremely grateful that there were people within the Group who fought to keep us alive through the turmoil, and that we can now emerge on the other side with renewed vigour.

And as for this game we’ve been working on? If you’ve guessed that we’re making the next instalment in the Expeditions series, you guessed 100% correct. Campfire Cabal was established as stewards of the Expeditions series of historical RPGs. And yes, it was we who patched Expeditions: Rome back in November 2024.

We’re not yet ready to reveal more details of this next instalment, but we can confirm that just like every Expeditions game, it’s set in a new period of our history and in a new part of the world for the series. And just like every Expeditions game, this one will be another step up in quality from its predecessor.

We can’t wait to reveal more about the game itself and show you what we’ve been working on. In the meantime, we hope you’ll have fun sharing your ideas and guesses in the Steam forums or on our Discord[discord.com]. We’ll don our most convincing poker faces.
