Wartorn tells the story of two elf sisters in a fantasy world that relies on more than just fighting.
Stray Kite Studios gave a first look at their upcoming game Wartorn. This will be the first original title of the studio that includes veterans from games like BioShock, Borderlands, and Age of Empires.
Before that, they worked with Gearbox and 2K Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep: A Wonderlands One-Shot Adventure and now created their very own fantasy RPG game.
Wartorn tells the story of two elven sisters who are trying to reunite with their family – and to do so, have to survive above all else.
The game won’t be as combat heavy as others, while it still has a huge part in the game, battling external and internal threads as well as moral dilemmas will be important as well.
Creative director Paul Hellquist stated:
Wartorn challenges players to navigate the chaos of a divided world while finding purpose and joy in selflessness. We've poured our hearts into creating a game that not only entertains, but also makes players think deeply about sacrifice, survival, and the bonds that unite us.
The roguelike game will feature destructible environments and a dynamic combat system that relies on elements like water, fire, electricity and the way they react to and with each other.
Upgrades, items and new abilities will make the player stronger and able to explore new places, while the elf sisters have to learn to also find purpose in life and happiness in a dying world.
Wartorn will be available for early access via Steam and Epic Game Store in spring of this year.
