RuneQuest: Warlords hasn’t made a lot of noise since it was revealed, but our hands-on preview time with it promised a fast and focused take on turn-based strategy that might find its fans. Now, we also have a release date to look forward to.
The announcement arrived yesterday, November 13, when it was revealed RuneQuest: Warlords will launch on December 9. Publisher Slitherine isn’t revealing further details about the game before it welcomes all the potential players, it seems, but a brief teaser was shared to show new units and locations as well as confirm it’ll hit GOG and the Epic Games Store aside from Steam:
“Immerse yourself in the rich lore of the world of Glorantha. Become a warlord, master the use of runes and defend your tribe against the incursions of Chaos. Vanquish your enemies using a mix of magic-enhanced strategies and rune-based abilities. Field a diverse army drawing from heroes and creatures alike.”
RuneQuest: Warlords’ main course is an 18-mission story campaign, but offline skirmishes and online multiplayer (with the Talastar, Chaos, and Lunar Empire factions) are confirmed as part of the package available at launch. The price tag hasn’t been revealed yet.
December 9 also marks the day when we’ll see 2025’s Slitherine Next event, which is said to bring all sorts of “exclusive news, gameplay reveals, and updates” on the publisher’s existing catalogue as well as future projects. You’ll be able to watch via YouTube and Twitch at 18:00 CET.
