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.

[h3]Known Issues[/h3]

  • After unlocking Currency Exchange in Guinevere’s shop, interacting with Exchange Table results in title softlock. You can only exchange Fiery Embers for Crystal Shards but there is no UI for this action. You are left unable to leave the Currency Exchange Table and cannot open any menus. This forces you to close the game.

  • When attempting to purchase Grail Water resource from the shop, the amount granted is 0.

Thank you for your continued support throughout our journey to Early Access! We appreciate your participation in our playtests, and love building SWORN with our community.

See you in Camelot!
