Order Automatica updates
Launch is live. This hub tracks what 1.00 shipped and what patches change.
Order Automatica is out. The worldwide launch date is 4 September 2026. This hub exists so we do not mix demo patch notes from 2023-2025 with the 1.00 shop you are actually playing.
Start with launch notes for the roster counts, price, and the systems that shipped on day one. If you learned the game from the free Steam build, read demo vs full before you copy a 2024 shop into 1.00. Return here when a hotfix changes Distill, Poison, or a unit’s printed numbers.
What “1.00” means
The game spent years as a Steam and itch.io demo (versions such as 0.9.6 through 00.11.00 in the public log). Console trailers and Xbox demo drops in 2026 were still teaching the same 3x3 ritual. Launch is the first time Initiate, Penitent, and Adept are sold as a finished product on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, iOS, and Android at once.
Steam news around launch listed:
- 20 player units
- 17 enemy units
- 19 items
- 18 cell effects (9 positive, 9 negative)
- 24 Indulgences
- 9 Curses
- 19 Steam achievements
- Full controller support
- Steam Cloud
If an older YouTube video shows a different shop button or a missing Distill slot, believe the Codex in your 1.00 copy. Then use Getting Started rather than a 2022 how-to.
How we will log patches
When New Beings or better. publishing post a patch:
- Note the date and platforms (PC often leads; consoles follow).
- List unit, item, and Distill changes in plain language.
- Flag anything that breaks a recipe on synergy builds or a letter on the unit tier list.
- Keep the facts file aligned: the game stays released, single-player, and 3x3.
We will not pretend a demo balance comment from itch.io is a live hotfix.
Demo versus launch
The demo remains useful as a free teacher. It is not the full Adept ladder. Baker and other Codex rewards may appear earlier or later than they did in 2025 demos. Journal pages and Serpent’s Arena were still unlocking around launch week; if your copy is missing a tarot card, play another honorable victory before assuming a bug.
Where official notes live
Steam news hub for app 2105840, the publisher Discord, and @betterpubpro are the primary channels. We collect those URLs on links. Store-specific delays (a Switch patch cert, an iOS review) will be called out on platforms if they actually happen.
Until the first post-launch patch, treat every guide on this wiki as a 1.00 document: candles, Essence, Distill, and the three ranks. The game launched 4 September 2026.
