Sovereign Tower Patch Notes 1.0.10
Victoria, Yorhav, and New Game Plus dialogue repairs from the August 20 Steam build
Patch 1.0.10 arrived on August 20, 2026 as the Act 3 / NG+ story build. Wild Wits and Curve Games published notes for app 4113940 that close Victoria self-ambush, Yorhav assassination, and several New Game Plus dialogue collisions that 1.0.9 never listed. Patch 1.0.11 (27 August) is now the latest numbered Steam build.

Why 1.0.10 matters
Patch 1.0.9 repaired Victoria trial responses, Rufus loops, Alwena assignment, and the skippable antagonist confrontation — but Yorhav assassination issues remained under testing. After August 13, players also reported Victoria ambushing herself and NG+ lines that treated Gideon, Ligia, Gothild, Elmor, and the Kutnar derby as if the first reign had never happened. 1.0.10 hits those remaining story and second-loop blockers. Changelog round-ups also mention quest-result accuracy and small UI tweaks — treat those as polish, not a new act.
The game remains solo-only on Steam for Windows, Linux, and SteamOS, Steam Deck Verified. No new chapter, map, or multiplayer. The introductory discount ended 20 August 2026; the store lists $19.99 with 0% off as of 28 August 2026.
Act 3 story fixes
Victoria self-ambush
Under certain save states, Victoria could ambush herself — a narrative paradox where the character triggered her own confrontation event. The fix prevents this self-referential trigger so Victoria’s ambush sequence plays with the intended antagonist. If you were mid-branch when you updated, reload from a recent autosave and re-enter the scene.
Yorhav assassination death
Yorhav would not die correctly during his assassination sequence. This bug persisted through 1.0.9 where official notes listed it as “under testing.” Version 1.0.10 resolves the issue so the assassination outcome fires as designed. Players stuck on the Yohav and Enberg branch can now complete the storyline — see Yohav and Enberg. If you had already moved past the assassination on an older save, you may not notice the fix unless you rewind via the Demon or start a New Game Plus run.
New Game Plus repairs
Second-reign players were the quiet victims of 1.0.9. 1.0.10 specifically:
- Stops Gideon NG+ playthroughs from soft-locking his storyline when leftover first-reign flags collided with Act 2 glory scenes.
- Resolves Ligia and Gothild NG+ quest / dialogue conflicts (lamp knowledge versus later Enberg trials talking past each other).
- Makes Elmor and Kutnar Derby NG+ paths coherent so the county no longer greets a returning Sovereign as a stranger who never cheated — or never raced. See Kutnar Derby and Get Zolta.
If run two still sounds wrong after updating, rewind the first audience of the affected county rather than editing memory. There is no official console — Codes FAQ.
What to re-verify on your save
| Area | Action after updating |
|---|---|
| Victoria ambush | Reload autosave before the ambush trigger |
| Yorhav assassination | Re-enter the assassination sequence |
| Act 3 endings | Confirm both story gates unlock correctly |
| Gideon NG+ | Replay his Act 2 glory / romance beats if the line soft-locked |
| Ligia / Gothild NG+ | Rewind the first conflicting audience |
| Kutnar / Elmor NG+ | Replay the first Kutnar audience if the county forgets you |
