We hope you enjoy SWORN! The Early Access launch version of the game is packed full of highly polished content. Our development process means that the game we release into Early Access, while not containing all of the features and content we plan to have in the final game, plays like the base version of a finished game - without major features missing or work-in-progress content.

[h2]About SWORN[/h2]

SWORN is a 1-4 player action roguelike that sets you and your friends on a unique quest to reclaim a fallen Camelot in a dark retelling of the Arthurian tale.

A co-op first roguelike with a classic fast-paced dungeon crawler combat. You must work together, with aid from familiar Camelot characters to become knights worthy of facing Arthur himself.



You can play solo or unite with up to 4 friends to stand off against the Knights of the Round Table.

Choose from 4 characters: Vigilante, Rook, Spectre, and Monk and combine the strengths of each character in surprising ways and master abilities to become knights worthy of standing off against Arthur himself.



You can combine your blessings with unique character, weapon, and ability selections. This allows you to test thousands of unique builds as you become a seasoned knight.



Upgrades from the Beacon of Avalore will forge your squire into a worthy champion over time. However, if you believe you are already worthy of facing Arthur, get ready for a challenge that will put your skills to the test.



[h2]About Early Access and What's Next[/h2]

Our Early Access will be swift and exciting. Our goal is to fully launch SWORN in the Summer of 2025.

We plan to have 4 major updates to the game before full release that expand and refine the overall experience. We have a packed development roadmap that we will share in more detail soon, but we aim to expand in key areas – run variety to keep the format exciting, new weapons and abilities, creating more co-op magic moments and overall polish – as well as continual improvement to balancing and polishing throughout Early Access.

To the Speedrunning Community, we appreciate your continued support by playing the demos (and breaking them) over the past year. We wanted to let you know that we're working with a fellow runner (Nikoheart) to create an official autosplitter for your SWORN runs. We know you're itching to go fast, but please engage patience and slow down; This will be released alongside one of our major updates during Early Access: https://www.nikoheart.com/


The gates of Camelot are officially open. Thank you, and good luck! You and your companions will need it.

Sworn is a co-op, fantasy-infused Hades that's coming out incredibly soon

If you love Hades as much as I do, you owe it to yourself to keep an eye on Sworn. The upcoming action roguelike trades the Greek pantheon for medieval fantasy, and it's shaping up to be one of the best-looking entries in the genre this year. Set in a fallen Camelot where a corrupted King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table reign supreme, it's up to you to craft the best builds to take on the land's royalty. We really don't have long to wait either, as the early access launch and an open demo are mere weeks away.

King Arthur inspired Hades rival Sworn is running a final playtest before launch

I was lucky enough to try a lot of upcoming PC games at Gamescom 2024, and one I found particularly hard to stop playing was Sworn. An action roguelike set in a fallen Camelot, it offers you a multitude of builds to reclaim the kingdom from the grasp of a corrupted King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. So if you're looking to scratch the itch while you wait for the next Hades 2 update, you can join an ongoing Sworn playtest right now - and developer Windwalk Games says it will be the last chance before early access arrives.
