RAIDBORN News

Watch 30 minutes of pure unedited RAIDBORN Gameplay.

Enough of wasting precious time by walking eternal distances and engaging in endless dialogue? Want to get to the fun part quickly? Say no more! RAIDBORN should be right up your alley.

RAIDBORN is a straightforward first-person fantasy action RPG featuring procedurally generated dungeons and quests. Plunder a treasure-strewn world, upgrade your gear, level up your skills, and hurl yourself into intense combat.

Beware the dark. Beware the night. Where stealthy heroes love to fight.

RAIDBORN participates in the Steam Stealth Fest, starting today at 10 a.m. PST. To celebrate this the game will be 20% off.

This is not only a great way to get the game, or gift it to a friend, but also a great opportunity to try a rogue only run, if you own the game already.

I just wanted to send a sign of life. If you are interested in more regular updates, make sure to join my Discord. I have made some good progress, and the heavy lifting for UPDATE 2 is done. I have no release date yet, but it will probably be available between late July and early August.

Here are some of the new items I created for the new crafting system. I tried to keep the number of ingredients manageable while maintaining enough complexity. I don't like it if there are too many items to handle because it gets chaotic fast. The new crafting system will allow you to create tools, brew potions, and upgrade weapons, but more about that soon.



I also completely overhauled the city, including ambient NPCs, a new weather system, many secrets to discover and some new gameplay mechanics. In the video below you can get a first impression of what the new city looks like in the evening.

RAIDBORN is 24% off during Steam Summer Sale. If you are subscribed to my email list, go check your inbox. I have sent you a special offer with an increased discount.

If you don't own RAIDBORN already or know a friend who might enjoy it, now is the perfect time to get it. So what are you waiting for? Escape the summer heat and immerse yourself in some nice, cold dungeons.

With the first major update released it is time to share what I have in stock for the second one. The list below will be updated regulary so you can follow the progress of the update. Because I think this is more expressive than making release date estimations, I will refrain from that in the future.

No worries, the combat system is still a priority, but I need to put focus on other things as well. I am currently trying to find a spot for the second part of the combat overhaul, which will put focus on the player side of things.
