Osiris server official launch The remaster is live, featuring almost a year of balance fixes, total reworks, aesthetic improvements and everything else for maximum London-taking carnage. And with it, we have our 4th server of the apocalypse - Osiris. For full details of what's ch
Osiris balance patch Normally I'd say this is the last patch before the new server goes live, but I can't seem to stop tweaking at the minute so let's say it's one of the last. For those that missed it - a brand new server is coming on Thursday! Osiris will ship with a new modifi
Patch 4.1 - Revolt & Valley Buffs 2 updates in 2 days! I'll be getting a job offer from Studio Wildcard any day now. After months of dodging meetings and saying "let's circle back to this", a member of the mayors union finally cornered you and made it clear mayors are no long

Taking London Remastered (officially dubbed the Osiris build) has been launched! New look, new balance, new game. The details are covered in the event posted last week - this is just a heads up that we are up and running. Expect a new server to drop in the next few days once we'v
It's been a while... but we haven't been idle. In order to make Taking London the game it deserved to be, we had to rebuild everything from scratch - new architecture, new engine - essentially, a new game. Some of you may already have experienced this as it's been available as a
Crash report with possible data loss - 12th August 2025 While we take every precaution to avoid crashes, regrettably they still happen. In the worst case scenario, they cause progress to be lost on accounts. Yesterday at around 11pm GMT, one of these crashes occurred, causing up
New features: You can now open or close your city gate to allow your troops to defend your city, or avoid attackers, respectively. Closing your gate will allow other players to freely loot any unprotected resources you have without having to win a battle against your troops. Your
Taking London 3.0.0 is here, with completely new battle mechanics! After the first few PVP spats, it's become clear the battle script - while technically complicated - lacks a practical depth, meaning the game has essentially devolved into a numbers game surrounding the infamous
Good morning London Takers! The maintenance window has been growing egregiously long, especially due to the launch of the second server. After realising there must be something wrong with this as other, much larger games do not have the same loading times, a breakthrough was foun
Hello London Takers! The server is currently offline, and is likely to remain that way until around 4PM GMT on 4th July; apologies for not posting this announcement sooner! This is a planned outage as the server busies itself creating the fresh world for tomorrow's big reveal!
New features: Alliance portal: The functionality to join, create and otherwise interact with your alliance has been moved out of the Military Command and onto a screen accessible in the HUD, exposing much more QOL features (such as the ability to search for and invite players dir
The moment you've all been waiting for... Since the full release on the 24th April, we've seen it all - gold mine-gate, market-gate, the great crash of 29/04, Wyddyrshyns-gate... we even had a cyber attack to deal with. But after 2 months of hard work: The balance has been fixed
New features: The automation screen now contains a section allowing you to create "trade rules" to automatically trade resources at the market when your specified criteria are met General gameplay The "overworked population" multiplier has been expanded out into three different m
The second of two major balance patches, that were agreed by the community as necessary to ensure server 2 does not experience any of the balance issues the first one did. Balance patches The mayor "efficiency" stat no longer grants a resource discount to construction, research o
Probably high time I started using Steam for patch notes rather than just the discord! Balance patches: Resources are no longer capped by the storage cap defined by warehouses, refineries and stables; instead, the storage cap keeps your resources safe from looters. This is intend
