Status of Scythe: Digital Edition - what's next?
A long time ago, we announced the start of work on the Scythe: Digital Edition code refactor and the creation of two DLCs. We've been silent since then (not counting patch notes, minor updates and community support), but today, we would like to summarize how the work on Scythe lo

Thank you for your understanding and for being patient. We apologize for all the problems with transfers that are taking place. We collect all your feedback on Discord, Steam and social media. The production team consistently works on the game by reproducing and solving bugs - you can be sure that there will be patches with hotfixes soon.
Where and what bugs should I report?
Two of the most common bugs are:

you try to transfer, and you will see the message with an error - don't worry
the activation link will not come to your email - don't worry
Both issues will be resolved as soon as possible - we are working on them and should be back to normal within a week. If the activation link doesn't work, check if you have yet to send it twice accidentally - there should be one working at the bottom of the message.
To help us collect other bugs, please report them to [email protected]. It will help us streamline the entire process.
Account transfer isn’t obligatory
We also remind you that ACCOUNT TRANSFER IS NOT OBLIGATORY. It only applies to playing online and if you want to keep your match history. This also applies to accounts created BEFORE NOVEMBER 10, 2022. In a situation where you don't care about the account, create a new one and ignore the visible transfer message - just log in and have fun.
Once again, we apologize to all of you for the problems. We will inform you as soon as everything is back to normal.

Dear players, the time has come!
The AsmoConnect platform (Asmodee.net) no longer supports Scythe: Digital Edition player accounts. That is why we have prepared transfers. Thanks to a few simple clicks, your account will be moved to the Knights’ database - this way, you will keep the history of your matches, ELO, etc., so don't postpone this process until the last minute. Remember that you can transfer your account until December 31st.
How can I transfer my account?

Click on the in-game prompt "Transfer Your Account" or use the "Play Online" button.
Log in to the account you want to transfer (enter login and password).
In the next window, enter the email you have used. It’s associated with your AsmoConnect platform (Asmodee.net).
Set a new password, accept The Knights of Unity privacy policy and transfer your account.
Confirm your email address in your mailbox.
That's it; your account has been transferred!
We apologize for any inconvenience and errors. If something is wrong, just write to us. Discord and email support are at your disposal. There is no problem that we cannot deal with together! Thanks for your patience!

👉 If you cannot log into your Asmodee account, please contact Asmodee to change your email address. It’s needed to transfer your account and keep all your data, so don't hesitate.
Remember to transfer your account before December 31st!
Resolution and quality setting are now in game options.
Known issues:

Logging in 2 the same accounts on 2 devices - If a player logs into the same account X on two devices, they will not be logged out of the device they had logged on in the first place.

The Knights of Unity are now responsible for the further development of Scythe: Digital Edition, which you probably all know by now. We have prepared a roadmap to give you a better overview of what awaits Scythe: Digital Edition in the future. Scythe Roadmap presents four main milestones. Each introduces significant changes that we will add to the base game.
Scythe Development Roadmap

Code Refactoring
The Wind Gambit DLC Development
Modular Board DLC Development
The Rise of Fenris DLC Development
CODE REFACTORING
The main task we are currently working on is code refactoring. This is the first and mandatory step we had to take with the prospect of developing Scythe expansions. Code refactoring, from your perspective, is nothing exciting, but it's essential for us. What does it mean? We want to clean up the game code and make necessary optimization with fixes. The first milestone also includes developing missing features based on the player's feedback. Apart from that, we aim to finish data migration and account transfer.
DLC DEVELOPMENT
Thanks to the first step, we will be able to develop Scythe: Digital Edition efficiently! That means providing long-awaited DLCs! We know this is no surprise because you were expecting them, but we can finally share this news officially! We plan to deliver three more DLCs for Scythe: Digital Edition, which includes: The Wind Gambit, The Rise of Fenris and the Modular Board expansions.
The first fire goes to airships and The Wind Gambit DLC; then we plan to focus on Modular Board, and the last comes The Rise of Fenris. Please, be aware this is an estimated order and may require changes as the development progresses. We want to assure you that the whole dev team is working hard to provide you with the best game they can!
We want to remind you that the roadmap may change, and some things may shift over time. Additionally, this is not everything we plan, and each milestone will introduce updates with fixes to improve the gameplay. We can assure you that the factory is working at full speed for you!
Feel free to jump on the Discord server or visit our Twitter or Facebook - you can find us there to have a chat! :)
