Almost a year ago, we were the first to publish an interview with Human Head about their freshly announced game Rune: Ragnarok. Now the game, renamed simply as Rune, is almost due to enter Steam Early Access (the launch date is September 19th).
Human Head Partner and Project Leader Chris Rhinehart said in a statement:
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. Use your enemy’s strength against them – literally rip off their arm and then beat them to death with it!
Before the gates of Ragnarok officially open, though, the developers are conducting a series of beta tests and we've got 100 Steam keys (distributed on a first-come, first-served basis) that will let you right into the next one. There'll be a 12-hour playtest this Saturday, September 1st, and PvP and PvE servers in the US and Europe will be live from 8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. CDT.
