NomStead is expanding into two connected games and will launch its player-driven Gold Bar Economy on June 18. The existing farming game will continue as NomStead Kingdoms, while PvP for the new standalone combat game, NomStead Stadiums, opens on June 26. Both games will share the same economy, with farmers producing goods and gold bars acting as the tradeable asset connecting the two experiences.
What Changed
- NomStead is expanding into two connected games: NomStead Kingdoms, the existing farming experience, and NomStead Stadiums, a new standalone combat game.
- Stadiums PvP opens on June 26, while a PvE dungeon mode is planned for a later update during Q3 2026.
- A Gold Bar Furnace will allow players to convert in-game gold into gold bars. The project says these bars can be transferred between Kingdoms and Stadiums or sold to other players.
- Furnaces are built by players, with owners able to set their own mint tax and receive gold when other players use them.
- A centralised marketplace order book launches on June 18, allowing farmers to craft and sell items intended for use by Stadiums players.
- New Stadiums players will be able to buy gold bars from existing players without first playing Kingdoms.
- Planned Q3 updates include a Kingdoms season system, in-game events, interiors, gameplay improvements, and a Stadiums PvE dungeon mode.
Dates and Rollout
- The Gold Bar Economy and marketplace are scheduled to launch on June 18, when the first furnace recipes become available.
- NomStead Stadiums PvP is scheduled to open on June 26 as a standalone experience connected to the shared NomStead economy.
- The eight-day gap is intended to give Kingdoms players time to build furnaces and accumulate gold bars before Stadiums opens.
- Further Kingdoms and Stadiums updates are planned through Q3 2026.
Numbers and Rules
- Only Kingdoms farmers generate gold under the new economy.
- Building a furnace requires a recipe, in-game resources, and construction time.
- Furnace owners can set their own mint tax for players using their infrastructure.
