Scythe: Digital Edition | 2018 |
Iron Harvest | 2020 |
Scythe: Digital Edition is a singleplayer and multiplayer bird's-eye view 4X, board and TBS game in the 1920+ series.
The game received a single expansion pack which mirrors the content of the board game original, Invaders from Afar on May 29, 2019.
On September 22, 2022, a roadmap was announced which planned for code refactoring as well as three new expansions: The Wind Gambit, Modular Board and The Rise of Fenris.[2]. However, on December 19, 2023, the development team announced that further expansions would not be made due to the refactoring necessary to support them would take too many resources, but that support for the existing content would continue.[3]
