Upcoming Content Tracker — Announced, Not Yet Live
Confirmed but unreleased — Warsongs, Vadagar Pact, mounts, and more, tracked by category.
Quick Answer: Digital Extremes has officially confirmed the content below through Devstreams and TennoCon, but none of it is live yet. This page tracks confirmed-but-unshipped features across Preludes cycles — unlike a single patch preview, it stays up as content ships and new reveals land. For what's confirmed for the next patch specifically, see the Preludes 16 preview.
This tracker exists because reveals from Devstreams and TennoCon often land a patch cycle (or several) before they ship. Nothing here is a promise — Digital Extremes can and does change or drop teased content, and this page will move entries to "shipped" (with a link to the real guide) once patch notes confirm them.
Story & fables
| Content | Official window | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Warsongs questline | Fall 2026 | The Envoy's origin story — the mother, and antagonist Tempest Bayor (voiced by Ben Starr). You play the mother, in beaver form, immediately after giving birth; a "weapon group" ability unlocks within the fable. The TennoCon demo was roughly half of the full fable — don't read it as the whole thing. |
| Eldveil Empress | With Warsongs | Voiced by Jennifer English (Baldur's Gate 3). Her rescue happens in a sky realm above Midrath (community-transcribed; spelling pending official text — some recaps use "Eldfell"/"Eldvil"). |
Pacts & powers
| Content | Official window | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vadagar Pact | With Warsongs | Corruption-themed Pact — community calls it the "first evil pact." One TennoCon recap used the name "Battleguard Pact"; this site keeps Vadagar Pact until a Devstream or Dev Workshop settles it. Corrupted virtues are called Vespers — three named: doom, death, and wrath (presumed to mirror Courage/Spirit/Grace). Confirmed Arcanics from the TennoCon demo: Volts Arc (Eekor boomerang, bounces up to 5 enemies), Zephyr's Tendril (binds 5+ enemies), Ursaroxi's Stampede (caustic warhorse herd). KOTOR-style light/dark alignment, not a permanent lock. |
Weapons
| Content | Official window | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Coiled Dawn | Not announced | Ivy-inspired multi-stage, precise-input sword-whip. |
Traversal & mounts
| Content | Official window | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Adult wolf mount | Mid-October 2026 | The grown-up form of the Preludes 16 wolf pup, with fur-pattern and cosmetic customization. Committing your pup as a mount means it loses its puppy form — more pups become acquirable later. |
| Rainbreaker's steed | Not announced | Rainbreaker (a mounted boss already live in the game) is fought to free her enslaved steed; official framing suggests a later chance to befriend it once mounts exist. |
| Other mounts | Not announced | TennoCon coverage showed mounts beyond wolves (community report) — no names or windows confirmed. |
Systems in early concept (no committed window)
These come from years of Devstream concept-art reveals, not a specific upcoming patch. Digital Extremes' own convention: a reveal not mentioned again for 3+ years moves to archived status.
- Combat Arts rework — replacing the fixed skill tree with a personal "martial arts manual" the Envoy compiles from techniques learned across Ancestors and Fables.
- Mounts beyond the wolf line — see Traversal above.
- Additional Dendrit content — outfits (Knight, Witch, Assassin) and weapon types (spear, crossbow, longsword) shown in concept art, tied to a future Fable.
- Ode'n Skytower interior — an explorable area shown in concept art; not yet confirmed as a Dungeon or another format.
FAQ
Is anything on this page live? No. Everything here is officially announced but unreleased. Check each row's "Official window" — items marked "Not announced" have no committed release patch at all.
What's the difference between this page and the Preludes 16 preview? The Preludes 16 preview covers what's confirmed for the next specific patch (target: mid-September 2026) in depth — mechanics, exact numbers, Dev Workshop timing. This tracker is the longer-horizon list: content confirmed for later windows (Warsongs, mounts) or with no committed patch at all.
Where do these facts come from? Official Devstreams, TennoCon demos, and Dev Workshop posts — cited per row where a specific event is named. Community-transcribed details (spelling, exact mechanics from a demo) are marked as such.
