Steam posts in order
The dispatch is the public paper trail for Chronicles: Medieval, fourteen Steam community posts from the announcement trailer on 13 June 2025 through the Gamescom 2026 battle presentation on 10 September 2026. Read in order, they move from a reveal and a wishlist milestone, through settlement and combat essays, into four numbered diaries, a gameplay reveal, an exploration-map look, and the Gamescom demo. Diary 1 asks what the team is building. Diary 2 is lords, power, and war.

Diary 3 is the battle essay. Diary 4 is the army essay and the post that puts PC Early Access in early 2027. The FAQ page was not rewritten in that same breath, so the 2026 line and the early 2027 line both still exist. Dates below are the Steam post dates written as day, month, and year. Each note says what that post is for, so the list is a reading order rather than a second copy of the diaries themselves.
