The Guild 1 Remake: Europa 1410

The Guild 1 Remake: Europa 1410 comes from developer Ashborne Games and publisher THQ Nordic. The game entered Early Access on September 17, 2026 for PC through Steam. It rebuilds the economic simulation of the original Europa 1400: The Guild for modern PCs. Players start a modest medieval business and grow it into a lasting dynasty.

About the Game

The game focuses on trade, craft, and politics, all seen from a bird’s-eye view. First, players open a workshop and choose a profession. Then they hire workers, buy materials, and sell goods in the city. Prices follow supply and demand, so a smart merchant watches the season and the market. Meanwhile, competing guilds fight for control of the same city, and that pressure shapes every decision.

Success also depends on family and influence. Players court a partner, marry, and raise heirs, because a campaign can span several generations. As a result, the character who ends a campaign is often not the one who began it. Politics is another core pillar, so ambitious players must balance honest business with scheming. For those who prefer shortcuts, the game also offers a darker path to wealth. Overall, the focus stays on managing an empire instead of micromanaging single characters.

Key Features

Cities and Professions: Early Access starts with six cities, including Graz, Kuttenberg, Nuremberg, Freiburg, and Wrocław. Additionally, eight professions are playable, such as Smith, Tailor, Alchemist, and Perfumer.
Living Economy: Item prices react to supply and demand, the current season, and player skills. Furthermore, building improvements change prices as well, so upgrades pay off over time. A tooltip shows a full price breakdown for each item.
Dynasty Play: Courtship, marriage, and heirs drive the long game. Because campaigns span generations, every family decision affects the legacy that follows.
Growing Roadmap: The developers plan more professions, more maps, and more languages during Early Access. Notably, multiplayer for up to 12 players is also planned.
