As Midgard’s chosen savior, kneel atop the Divine Summit to receive a blessing and powerful abilities from the god of your choosing in the endeavor to end Ragnarok. It’s a race against time to prevent the conniving Loki from destroying Midgard as he holds the world in a perpetual state of chaos and destruction. Alone or with friends, you will battle legions of Loki’s minions in brutal melee combat, travel the world collecting rare resources, locate precious artifacts to weaken the Realm Gate and craft the mightiest weapons the Nine Realms have ever seen. Are you powerful enough to take down Loki… or will a new age of darkness begin?

Development of RUNE II is being funded by ESDF Management, a video game production and finance company.

 

RUNE II will be launching to the Epic Game Store summer 2019. For keeping up on all things RUNE II, go to www.RUNE2.com, join the epic Viking war cry on Discord, like us on Facebook, Instagram and follow us on Twitter.
