This major update for Warlords Battleground: Extraction brings the frontlines of history to your doorstep. With a brand-new campaign, expanded follower systems, and entirely new ways to play, the Thirteen Provinces have never been more dangerous—or more rewarding.
Will you play it safe in the shadows, or risk it all to rewrite history? The choice is yours.
Relive the legendary Northern Campaign of Guan Yu.
Navigate a high-stakes war zone where multiple factions collide.
Survive the chaos, scavenge the ruins, and—if you’re bold enough—change the tragic ending of the War God himself.
A new legend joins your ranks. Guan Yinping arrives with a unique progression tree and exclusive dialogue-driven upgrades.
Whether you need a tactical edge or a powerhouse on the field, she’ll redefine your combat synergy.
A new Red-tier item, the "Statue of the God Emperor Guansheng," has been lost to the fog of war. Only the most daring scavengers will find and extract this rare artifact.
We’ve expanded the base system with critical new upgrades to help you survive the meat grinder:
Increased Finisher Damage.
Enhanced rewards for winning Duels.
Higher spawn rates for the Mysterious Merchant.
Reduced equipment Repair Costs.
"Against All Odds": Gain massive Armor bonuses when leading fewer troops. Perfect for Solo or Small-Squad tacticians.
"Army Training Strategy Limit": Equip multiple doctrines simultaneously, unlocking complex multi-troop synergies.
Looking for a different way to survive? Peace Mode offers a new tactical layer:
Move through the map without being hunted by major factions.
Travel light with a small squad of basic troops.
Focus purely on looting and resource accumulation—but keep your eyes peeled. Just like Lu Meng, you can tear off the mask at any moment to strike a decisive blow.
Gold-tier items are now significantly more valuable on the market.
Stash capacity expanded by 3 full pages.
Quests now auto-submit upon your return to Stronghold—no more tedious menu clicking.
Improved skill effects and player auras for a clearer, more satisfying combat flow.
Preview follower stats and skills instantly before inviting them to your squad.
The battle is set. History is yours to forge.
Play it safe, or bet it all. See you on the battlefield.
