The campaign updates. New elements and corrections for those who want the most complete version of Blighted Reach.
What it's about
An update for campaign players — new elements and fixes for Blighted Reach.
Arcs: 2026 Campaign Update is an update pack for owners of the Blighted Reach campaign. It introduces new elements that refresh the campaign experience and includes corrections for the first printing — including the 23 errata cards that fix typographical errors, unclear interactions, and the Navy Reprisal card missing from the first production.
It is designed for those who have already invested in the Arcs system and want to bring their campaign to the latest version. It does not add a new narrative system like Beyond the Reach or Halls of Power — it brings verified corrections and new details that refine the existing experience.
Full details on the included new elements will be confirmed with the official Kickstarter campaign material in Spring 2026. What is already documented is the errata content: 23 updated cards for the first printing of Blighted Reach.
What to expect
Buried Giant Studios has already confirmed that future products will include errata updates for Blighted Reach. The 2026 Campaign Update is that product — the updated version of the campaign for those who want to play it in its most refined form.
From the official Buried Giant statement
It is not an expansion that adds new storylines or mechanics. It's an update — the difference between playing with the corrected version and one that had errors. For the first printing of Blighted Reach, it's a direct purchase.
FroGames editorial note
The 2026 Campaign Update is primarily intended for owners of the first printing of Arcs: The Blighted Reach Campaign Expansion. If you don't know which printing you have, check for the print code on the box. If you have a second printing or later, some corrections may already be included.
What it includes
Verified updates and new elements for the campaign
Some of the content is already officially documented. For additional new elements, full details will be available with the Kickstarter material.
23 errata cards (1st printing)
The errata pack already announced by Buried Giant — corrects typographical errors, unclear interactions, and includes the Navy Reprisal card missing from the first production of Blighted Reach.
Corrections and clarifications
Interactions that could cause doubts at the table in the first printing are clarified. These are not errors that made the game unusable, but the corrected version is always preferable.
New campaign elements
Additional elements that refresh the Blighted Reach campaign. Specific details will be confirmed with the official Kickstarter material in Spring 2026.
Compatible with expansions
It is part of the Beyond the Reach cycle — designed for those who have or plan to add Beyond the Reach and Halls of Power to their Blighted Reach campaign.
The 2026 Campaign Update is not standalone. It requires both Arcs: Conflict & Collapse in the Reach (base game) and Arcs: The Blighted Reach (campaign expansion).
The 2026 Campaign Update is part of the Buried Giant Studios Spring 2026 Kickstarter campaign. Full details on the included new elements have not yet been published. The page will be updated with official information.
The best campaign is the one with the best version. The 2026 Campaign Update is for those who don't want to compromise.

Why it's useful
Four good reasons to add the 2026 Campaign Update
An update is not a narrative expansion — but for those who want the most complete and accurate version of the campaign, it's a purchase that makes precise sense.
Verified errata for the first print run
The 23 corrected cards for the first print run of Blighted Reach include fixes for typos, ambiguous interactions, and the missing Navy Reprisal card. Minor issues, but having the correct version is always preferable.
New campaign elements
In addition to the corrections, the pack includes new elements that expand and refresh the Blighted Reach campaign. Specific details will be confirmed with the official Kickstarter material.
Integration with the expansion cycle
It's part of the Beyond the Reach cycle — designed to be used with the Buried Giant Studios campaign expansions. It's not mandatory for the expansions, but it brings the base game up to date.
First post-Leder Games product
It's part of Buried Giant Studios' first cycle after separating from Leder Games. The decision to include the errata in a future product had already been announced — this is that product.
How to use it
Three steps to bring your campaign to the latest version
It's not a standalone game — it's an update. You use it by replacing or supplementing existing components of your copy of Blighted Reach.
Check if your copy of Arcs: The Blighted Reach is a first print run. This information is found on the bottom of the box. If you have the second print run or later, some corrections may already be included.
The 23 corrected cards replace their counterparts in the first print run. No need to redo anything — it's about replacing some cards in the deck and campaign setup.
The new campaign elements are added to the existing structure of Blighted Reach. Specific instructions will be in the official product material, available with the Kickstarter campaign.
Where it fits in
The complete Arcs system
Four products, different access levels. The 2026 Campaign Update is designed for those already in the campaign system who want to keep it up to date.

Errata + new elements for Blighted Reach. For those who want the most updated and complete version of the base campaign.
The campaign expansions. New Fates, secret agendas, plots from outside, and political intrigue. Require Blighted Reach.
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ about Arcs: 2026 Campaign Update
Do I need the 2026 Campaign Update if I already have a second print run of Blighted Reach?
Errata corrections may already be included in print runs subsequent to the first. Check the print run number on the box. The new additional campaign elements — those that go beyond corrections — are new content that was not present in any previous print run.
What exactly are the corrected cards in the errata pack?
The errata pack contains 23 updated cards that correct typos, unclear interactions, and include the Navy Reprisal card missing from the first print run. These were not errors that rendered the game unplayable — with the exception of Navy Reprisal, they were issues of clarity, not functionality.
Is the 2026 Campaign Update mandatory to use Beyond the Reach or Halls of Power?
It is not mandatory — Beyond the Reach and Halls of Power integrate with Blighted Reach regardless of the Update. However, having the corrected version of the base campaign is recommended before adding further layers of expansion.
Has Buried Giant Studios already communicated the full content?
The errata content — the 23 corrected cards — is already officially documented. The new campaign elements included in the 2026 Update are announced but not yet detailed. Full details will be available with the Kickstarter campaign material in spring 2026.
Does the 2026 Campaign Update work with the base version of Arcs without the campaign?
No. The 2026 Campaign Update is specific to the Blighted Reach campaign — it requires both the base game and the campaign expansion. It adds nothing to the standalone base game.
Is it available in Italian?
This is the English edition. Like the entire Arcs system, the components are in English. An Italian edition is not available.
