Windwalk Games and Team17 Digital have revealed SWORN, a new co-operative action roguelike game slated for release on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2024. The game is currently accessible through a closed playtest. Set against the backdrop of Arthurian legends, SWORN invites players to explore a version of Camelot that has fallen under the influence of a corrupted King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table.
In SWORN, up to four players can join forces to challenge the tyranny of Arthur and his knights. The game sets out to feature a variety of deadly biomes where players can fight Arthur’s corrupted forces, enhance their abilities with over 200 unique “Blessings of the Fae”, and carry their upgrades and knowledge through death to make progress in subsequent runs. The ultimate goal — if you can’t tell already, is to advance to Camelot and defeat King Arthur – working towards that goal every playthrough.
Key features of SWORN include:
- Co-operative Play: Players can embark on their quest alone or team up with up to three others in a 1-4 player co-op setup. The game emphasizes combining the strengths and unique skills of characters to defeat Arthur and his Knights.
- Customization and Creativity: Players are encouraged to mix blessings from the Fae Lords with different characters, weapons, and abilities to create thousands of possible builds on their quest.
- The Power of the Fae: By swearing allegiance to the Fae Lords, players can unlock over 200 unique blessings, enhancing their potential for battle.
- A Rich, Cosmic World: The game presents an enchantingly illustrated world, drawing inspiration from Arthurian legend to bring the story of SWORN to vivid life.
