Drova - Forsaken Kin news & patch notes

Travellers of the Otherworld!

We’ve got some exciting news to share with you. As you know, we’ve released Drova recently also on mobile Platforms. Since games such as Drova aren’t the usual approach on Mobile stores, we’ve decided to offer a free trial versions for players to figure out if they like the game or not.

Now that the Remake of Gothic is finally available (we’re also playing it a lot), we’re following the discussions around it with great interest of course. We’re seeing that players are looking for similar experiences. So we thought that a demo might help. We know that not everyone can imagine playing that certain type of RPG with a pixelart style. So we’ve decided to let the game do the talking. And players can give it a try and decide if they like it or not.

The demo offers around two hours of content. The intro and the first camp can be explored. And yes, of course, the savegames can be used for the full game as well.

We’re back at work and keep playing the Gothic Remake for research purposes. Enjoy - whether you are playing the Remake or Drova!

Travellers of the Otherworld!

Today is a day to celebrate. When we were younger, Gothic was the first game which showed us what a true RPG could be. It gave us a world to try things out. One we didn't know we’d need. It was special in so many ways. And due to its absolutely stunning Community survived  until today.

Looking back, Gothic is not only a massive inspiration but also a major milestone for the German Games Industry. A brand of relevance, today more than ever. Without Gothic we wouldn’t have started Drova. It is one of the main inspirations, one of the main reasons why we went for the RPG genre. And as of now, Gothic Remake is finally here. We have obviously followed its development with great interest and we’re super excited to return to this magical world once again. And we hope it can scratch that itch.

We’ll take a few days off now, going deeper into the Mines. To celebrate the return, we’ve launched a small Discount for Drova as well. Let’s hope there’ll be more games alike in the future which manage to create such deep, catching worlds.

Travellers of the Otherworld!

Today is the day. Drova is finally available on Mobile und you can also play Drova in Spanish, Polish and Traditional Chinese!

We’ve also prepared a video where Chris shows you the content of todays Update. Feel free to take a look. As always the video is available in German with Subtitles. We also tried out the automatic english audio translation.

Drova Mobile

We tried hard to make Drova on Mobile the exact same fun experience you are used from the PC and Console versions. For that we’ve implemented some cool features which are exclusive to Mobile:

Fully customizable controls

• If our layout doesn’t fit your needs you can re-arrange all Buttons and scale them just as you wish.

Customizable Menus and Fonts

• You can scale menus in their size. We’ve also implemented some specific font sizes for dialogues so that you can follow the story even on smaller displays

Full Controller Support

• If you dislike the touch controls on Mobile we’ve also implemented full controller support. Just attach any controller to your phone and play with that instead.

The Mobile version also comes with a fair pricing model. The camp of the Woodcutters is completely free. And if you enjoy the game you can buy the rest of the game for a relatively small price. But we wanted to make sure that, since this might be your first time playing such a game on mobile, you can give it a try at first.

Google Play Store

App Store

Feel free to give us feedback for the Mobile Version on Discord. We love constructive feedback and always want to improve ourselves. And if you enjoyed the game on Mobile, also feel to leave us a positive review in the Play- and Appstore. Cause that helps us the most!

New Languages Available now!

Next to the already implemented languages, there are now 3 additional ones which found their way into the otherworld!

• Macie ochotę zapolować na żaboje, zaciągnąć się rdzomchem i wysłuchać przy ognisku fascynujących opowieści mieszkańców Drovy w języku polskim? Pełna lokalizacja jest już dostępna!

• ¡Juega a Drova en español!

• 各位異世界的旅行者注意啦！《困獸之國》繁體中文版正式上線！趕緊拿起武器，在這個殘酷的世界裡大展身手吧！

You can just go into the Options Menu in the game and switch your language. And if you have feedback regarding the translations, please let us know on our Discord in the Feedback Channel. Or send us a Bugreport via F2 in the game.

We’re super happy to have realized all the plans we had for Drova. Finally also the last members of the team can now move over to our next big thing. And as a small spoiler, we can confirm that later this year you will hear a lot about that. Just give us some time while we’re cooking!

With the patch we’ve also taken care of some smaller things you can read up in the changelog below.

Changelog

• Fixed a rare softlock with Farlan when the expedition starts.

• Reduced damage dealt, health and and skill/item usage from enemies in "Free the Bridge" encounter.

• Fixed that Fawini sometimes kills the player character in chapter 1 instead of capturing.

• Fixed a bug in the Red Tower on Insane difficulty that caused the battle between the leaders to take a very long time.

• Fixed some localisation issues.

• Fixed some obstacle colliders.

Dear Travellers of the Otherworld!

Drova is getting the Polish and Spanish Language Update on April 23rd. And for those of you who have been waiting for the mobile release, we've got good news as well, because Drova will be made available on iOS and Android on April 23rd as well.

On Mobile Drova is exactly the experience PC and Console players would expect it to be: an old-school RPG. No quest-markers, just an open world to explore for you. No microtransactions. Players just pay once while the first area of the game will be made available for free so that players can judge for themselves if the game is to their liking. No cut content for Day 1 DLCs. There are no DLCs. No AI-generated content. Just a handcrafted world with 40+ hours of content, a complex combat system and tons of characters to meet.

There is also a fresh Trailer for the Mobile Version:

Project Topas VOD

And in case you missed our Project Topas Livestream, the VOD will stay online for a few more days. We will, after around a week, remove it however as the information in the stream will be outdated at some point.

Dear travelers of the otherworld

A new year has begun! And we can already tell you: 2026 will be one exciting year. In addition to working on Drova for mobile devices, we will be releasing additional languages for Drova and giving you a first glimpse into our work on Project Topas!

We have prepared a video for you in which we are discussing all the topics from this update. Feel free to take a look. The video is in German, but as always English subtitles are available.

Drova for Mobile is still in the works

It won't be long before Drova is released for iOS and Android. In today's update, we'll give you an insight into the changes we've made to ensure that Drova works perfectly fine on mobile devices. 

The first step for a successful port to mobile are the controls. We have defined new HUD elements for all actions that the player character can perform in our game and arranged them in an intuitive layout on the screen. But you can see for yourself by looking at the following images. 

HUD outside of combat. Interaction via the hand icon. Holding down on the eye icon allows you to examine the environment more closely.

HUD in combat mode. Attack performed by using the button displaying the weapon type. Secondary action replaces the button for examination.

Abilities and attack buttons can be dragged to aim. Otherwise, the character will target the nearest enemy.

Soon we will show you more insights into our work for the mobile version of Drova. The changes shown above are just the beginning! We are having a lot of fun with the changes and hope you will enjoy the finished game just as much (and just in case you wonder, yes, also the PC version will profit from some changes)!

Android Users can also pre-register for the game: Drova for Mobile - Play Store page

Project Topas - First milestone completed!

We have completed the first phase of Project Topas, the pre-alpha! In the pre-alpha, we laid the foundation for the game. We defined the story and discussed and worked out changes for the visuals and features. Your feedback from Drova guided us through the process and greatly influenced our decisions. 

We have prepared the first mockups of areas for Project Topas to show you! Nothing you see in the images is final, but we wanted to give you a first impression of the direction we're moving towards. Let us know what you think of the designs in the comments or on our Discord!

There will also be deep forests in Project Topas. Watch out for what lurks in the undergrowth!

Mountains will play a greater role in Project Topas than in Drova. Depending on the decisions you make in the game, you may even climb one of the mountain peaks.

Project Topas - A stream about combat changes

For Project Topas, we have come up with some exciting changes and upgrades to our combat system. Not only is there a weapon type that didn't exist in Drova, but also many talents and revised off-hand actions for all weapons! 

We have implemented these changes on a trial basis and now want to take a look at them together with you during a developer stream. Kai and Chris will be streaming and discussing our thought processes during the design phase and talking about the changes with you.

The stream will take place on February 17.

We are very much looking forward to it and hope that many of you will join us on the stream!

EntwicklerWG

Changelog

We have uploaded a new version with many minor language corrections in English and German. In addition, we have added a banner to the main menu, which we will use to draw attention to important events, such as the upcoming mobile version of Drova.

Dear Travellers of the Otherworld!

It’s quite the announcement time for us. After we welcomed players from China last week, today the Korean Update has been released for Drova after a successful headstart on Stove.

We’ve partnered up with Smilegate for the Korean version and are super proud on what the team achieved with a top notch translation. We hope that the people from Korea can now enjoy the otherworld Drova even more!

In the meantime, feel free to vote for Drova in the Steam Awards season, we're thankful for every additional review!

Next up: Traditional Chinese, Polish and Spanish. We'll let you know more about the exact timings once we're closer to a possible release of these languages.

Dear Travellers of the Otherworld!

Never ever could we have imagined what Drova would mean for us. Never ever could we have predicted how the game would blow up and never ever would we have been able to foresee the countries in which it would become that popular. We created a game for ourselves, a game we were missing since the days we played Gothic. We never made a secret out of our inspirations.

Obviously that led to a situation where we knew that Europe and especially also eastern Europe (yes, Polish is still in the works and will follow in Q1) could be potentially strong markets. And sure, the USA because it is still one of the biggest markets available. But we never expected the game to become so insanely popular in China. Or Korea. Especially since these regions were not the core markets of our inspirations either. And especially since Drova, just from its looks and gameplay, is not the typical game succeeding in these markets.

And yet, here we are. The game gained so much interest that we were able to sign up with strong partners. And today, finally, Simplified Chinese (Traditional will follow later this year or early next year) has been released. And next week, on the 27th November, Korean will follow (currently also available to PreOrder via Stove, unlocking tomorrow there) here on Steam.

We couldn’t be more happy with the teams we partnered up with. We know we were lucky in first place. And with our new partners (and friends to be honest) we ended up with even more people believing in our vision.

But now: Welcome to our new players from China who previously couldn’t understand the game. We hope you’ll enjoy your journey through the land of Drova.

We also fixed some bugs we got reported over the last weeks. Here is a short changelog with all the fixes.

Changelog:

• Fixed: Player can't find Diemo in Chapter 4 if he started, but didn’t finish the confrontation with the mighty boar at the Grove of Sparks 

• Fixed: Sometimes text bubbles didn't disappear 

• Fixed: Various localization bugs 

• Fixed: Some collider issues resulting in players being stuck 

• Fixed: Render order issues in the Red Tower 

• Fixed: Jeans position wasn’t correctly tracked in the person journal if you did specific things in her quest 

• Fixed: Jennifers position wasn’t correctly tracked in the person journal if you did specific things in her quest 

• Fixed: Juri gives the wrong hint when player is fighting against Liandra in the Arena

Dear Travellers of the Otherworld!

We are happy to announce Drova now has an official Chinese name 困兽之国.

And the Simplified Chinese localization goes live on November 19th at 6:00 PM (UTC+8).

Thanks so much to all our Chinese players for sticking with us! Your enthusiasm, patience, and feedback truly mean a lot.

We look forward to meeting you again in 困兽之国.

Dear Travelers of the Otherworld!

Today Drova turned one. And to celebrate the birthday accordingly, we've got some major news for you!

Yes, Drova as a project came to an end and we are working on something new. And yet, many of you requested a couple of things. Especially additional languages have been requested quite often. But also quite a lot of people were hoping for a physical release. And we've got some news regarding both topics! And more...

In the following video Chris talks about all the news! The video is in German language but English subtitles and a generated English dub are available!

Physical Edition

We've teamed up with Limited Run to give you a unique opportunity to get Drova on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 as a physical Release. Take your chance to add Drova to your shelves, now. Or, uhm, soon, Pre-Orders start in two days, on the 17th October and will end a month later on 16th November.

Pre-Order here

Mobile version

Part of our studio culture has always been to let as many players experience our games as possible. And that also means being able to play Drova no matter the device of their choice. And we also love technical challenges to be honest.

That's why we started an experiment. Would it be possible to port Drova for mobile devices?

Well. The answer is yes. We were even surprised by how good it worked out and we now want to invite you to participate in a Closed Beta. That way you can give it a try yourself!

The Closed Beta will run from 7th November till 23rd November.

You can sign up today till 22nd October.

Join our Discord to register. In the category "Mobile Closed Beta" there is a Channel named "register". If you type /register in there and add a small text, you get a chance to participate. Our Closed Beta Bot will then contact you and ask you for your mobile device to make sure we have a broader range of devices to test on. Sadly we have to limit the number of participants to make sure we don't get the same bug reports too often. We were thinking about 20 people but that may change. If you've been picked you'll learn once the registration ends.

The data collected for the registration and organization of the closed beta will be used by us exclusively for the purpose of the closed beta. After the closed beta has ended, we will promptly delete the data as soon as we no longer need it to improve the game.

Please only register for the Closed Beta if you have quite some time available during the test phase. The estimated playtime for the game is around 40 hours.

The exact release of the mobile version of Drova depends a bit on the feedback we get during the Closed Beta. We are positive however to get the game out in the first Quarter of 2026.

Join our discord!

Languages

We heard your feedback and there will be more languages coming to Drova!

With more than 250k words it is quite expensive for us as small indie team to offer additional languages. A more detailed statement from our Publisher, to give you an overview about what an additional language means, can be found here in the forums on Steam.

Still we've decided together with Deck13 to offer two additional translations. Work has already begun quite some time ago and once again Warlocs will be doing the translations. This time for Spanish and Polish. For some Asian languages we've teamed up with regional publishers we trust.

The following languages will soon be available for Drova:

• Korean: November (In cooperation with Smilegate/Stove)

• Simplified Chinese: November (Partner will be announced soon)

• Traditional Chinese: Q1 2026

• Spanish: Q1 2026

• Polish: Q1 2026

We're super excited to allow more players understand the world of Drova. And we are really looking forward to your feedback. Keep in mind that translations are a dynamic process and dates may change a bit here and there depending on the progress the translators make.

Christmas Event

Once again we want to celebrate Christmas with our community. Come to our Discord and participate in our Christmas Riddles. Every week another riddle will be published. All of them related to the world of Drova. And every Sunday we'll raffle a winner among all those who answered correctly.

Winners will get one of four exciting prices which have been created for this event only!

Dear Travellers of the Otherworld!

We will have some news very soon regarding Drova. Give us two more days. But in the meantime, we would like to recommend another game which just released on Steam (And Nintendo Switch). Spindle from our friends from Wobble Ghost just released and if you love oldschool Zelda-experiences (especially Phantom Hourglass) you should give this one a try!

There is now also a Bundle available so you can save a few percentages as well when you already own Drova.

Read you all in two days!

• Fixed that with an old save some bandits (west of the ruin camp) didn't appear and one of them has a key. (You probably need to wait for some time 10-15mins until the bandits will appear)
• Fixed that the PS button icons were shown on steam deck. (Shoulder buttons are still wrong)
• Fixed getting dmg when blinking and having thorn cetus equiped
• Fixed that some hair accessoirs were visible when wearing a helmet
