Former BioShock and Borderlands Developers Announce Chaotic New Game
Stray Kite Studios, a Dallas, Texas-based developer known for its work on projects like Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep and Fortnite Creative maps, has unveiled its first original game, Wartorn. Scheduled for an early access launch on both Steam and the Epic Games Store in spring 2025, Wartorn promises to blend real-time strategy and roguelite elements into a compelling narrative-driven experience.
The game follows the journey of two elven sisters on a quest to reunite with their family amidst a fantasy world torn by chaos. Wartorn's setting is not just about the turmoil in the environment but also in the gameplay itself, featuring physics-driven destructible environments that make every encounter unique. "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," said Paul Hellquist, co-founder and creative director at Stray Kite Studios.
Wartorn: A Blend of Strategy and Roguelite Elements
Wartorn challenges players with tough moral decisions that impact the storyline and gameplay. Between battles, players must make critical choices, such as deciding which character to feed or whom to save from death. These decisions add layers to the story-driven roguelite experience, ensuring that each playthrough is unique.
Combat in Wartorn is equally dynamic, featuring a magic system that allows players to mix and match elemental forces like fire, water, and lightning. These elements interact in varied ways, offering strategic advantages in different situations, such as shocking enemies in water or setting fire to tar-covered mobs.
As a roguelite, Wartorn includes a progression system where upgrades carry over between runs, making each attempt at completing the journey progressively easier. The game's visuals boast a painterly aesthetic, enhancing the dramatic feel of its setting. To ensure accessibility, Wartorn allows players to slow down the action and issue precise commands, adding a layer of strategic depth to the chaos.
With its innovative blend of real-time strategy, roguelite mechanics, and a focus on moral dilemmas, Wartorn is poised to offer a fresh and engaging experience when it launches in early access in spring 2025 on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
