Human Head Studios’ “Rune” arrives on Steam Early Access on Sept. 19, the developer announced on Tuesday.
“Rune” is an open-world, Norse Mythology-themed role-playing game and spiritual successor to the 2000 action-adventure game “Rune Classic.” Set in Midgard during Ragnarok, it tasks players with saving the realm from the trickster god Loki by aligning with a chosen god, pillaging villages for weapons and armor, slaying various monsters, and engaging in player vs. player combat with their fellow vikings.
“With ‘Rune Classic,’ we worked to push the boundaries of PvP, and with this spiritual successor, we’re now pushing even further with intense, brutal combat mechanics not often seen in these type of games,” said Human Head partner and project leader Chris Rhinehart.
“Use your enemy’s strength against them — literally rip off their arm and then beat them to death with it!”
Human Head will host a closed beta playtest for U.

It’s something that they’ve wanted to make for a long time.
“The original game is a very linear, story based adventure where you follow Ragnar on his journey.
