Step Into Glorantha – Watch the Event, join the Beta, play at GenCon

[p]Hi everyone,[/p][p]As some of you know, yesterday we did a gameplay showcase event about RuneQuest: Warlords, our upcoming turn-based strategy game set in the legendary world of Glorantha. During our special event, we revealed a lot about the game’s core features.[/p][p][/p][h3]A Strategy Game Rooted in Myth[/h3][p]Based on the classic RPG RuneQuest (Chaosium, 1978), RuneQuest: Warlords brings players into a world where myth, magic, and conflict shape every battle. Our goal was to translate the spirit of the original RPG into a deep tactical experience, filled with heroic decisions, hero-led armies, and powerful Runes that influence fate itself. [/p][h3]Main Campaign: Defend Talastar[/h3][p]The single-player campaign is set in Talastar, a borderland caught between the invading Lunar Empire and the corrupting forces of Chaos. You’ll follow Hahlgrim Ironsword, an Orlanthi warrior on a journey of justice and vengeance. The story unfolds over 18 missions across mythic landscapes and desperate conflicts. [/p][h3]Three Factions, Three Unique Playstyles[/h3][p]Each faction offers a distinct tactical identity:[/p]

• [p]Children of the Storm (Talastar): fast, mobile, aggressive. Masters of terrain and initiative, empowered by the Runes of Air and Movement.[/p]
• [p]Lunar Empire: disciplined and coordinated. Quartz-armored legions, ritual mages, and formation-based tactics backed by the Moon Rune.[/p]
• [p]Chaos: relentless, corruptive, regenerative. Mutating forces that grow stronger through death, drawing power from Chaos and Entropy.[/p]

[p][/p][h3]Tactical Combat Powered by Runes[/h3][p]Combat is grid-based and highly tactical, featuring Zones of Control, a flexible Action Points system, and the Battle Rush mechanic that rewards active play.[/p][p]Runes are at the heart of the game: each unit draws powers and identity from them, influencing abilities, synergies, and strategic options.[/p][p][/p][h3]Skirmish & Multiplayer Modes[/h3][p]Beyond the story campaign, RuneQuest: Warlords also includes Skirmish Mode: playable solo against the AI or in multiplayer PvP.[/p][p]Pick your faction and test your strategy in quick battles with high replay value.[/p][p][/p][p]Watch the full stream featuring live gameplay, team insights, and an exclusive mission preview:  [/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][h2]Join the closed beta![/h2][p]The closed beta is now open, you still have the chance to sign up here, and have a first look and the game and help us with your feedback.[/p][p][/p][h2]We’re heading to GenCon 2025![/h2][p]We’ll be in Indianapolis from July 31 to August 3, attending GenCon for the full duration of the event,  and we’d love to meet you there.[/p][p]Whether you’re curious to learn more about RuneQuest: Warlords or just want to stop by and say hi, you’ll find us ready to chat, answer your questions, and you’ll also have the chance to try an exclusive hands-on demo featuring a selection of missions from the upcoming campaign.
