Rune II Coming to Steam Featuring Updated Narrative

A while back, we learned that the team responsible for keeping Rune II alive following Human Head Studios’ unexpected exodus was planning to overhaul the game’s narrative and add a bit more story to the otherwise senseless slaughter. We now know that this narrative update will be going live on September 9, 2020, and then in November, the game will be making its Steam debut.

There’s also this Gamescom trailer:

And a press release with some additional information:

Ragnarok Game LLC and developer Studio 369 revealed the new gameplay features for the upcoming Campaign Update for RUNE II, the definitive open-world RPG Viking adventure. The Campaign Update will launch September 9 and debuts the dungeons of Midgard, a skill tree system, Horde Events, and additional mythical creatures. With this update, an all-new, original main narrative will replace the old RUNE II storyline, introducing new characters, numerous quests, and an ending sequence fit for a legendary Viking saga. RUNE II is available now on the Epic Game Store and will be coming to Steam this November.

The Campaign Update is currently available on the PTR (Public Test Realm) server for all RUNE II players. More information on how to access the PTR server can be found HERE: rune2.com/ptr
