Sneak Preview: RuneQuest: Warlords – A Mythic Strategy Battle Begins

The battle for Glorantha is about to begin, and we’ve been invited to the front lines. Slitherine Ltd has given us the opportunity to preview RuneQuest: Warlords, the upcoming turn-based strategy game that blends the rich mythology of the RuneQuest tabletop RPG with deep tactical combat.

While details are still under wraps, we can confirm that players will lead legendary heroes, command powerful armies, and wield divine powers in a world where myth and warfare collide. We’ll be sharing more insights, gameplay impressions, and exclusive details as soon as they’re available, so stay tuned.

A Clash of Myth and Strategy

RuneQuest: Warlords invites players into the myth-soaked lands of Glorantha, a setting revered by fans of the classic RuneQuest tabletop roleplaying game. Here, the line between legend and reality blurs: gods walk among mortals, heroes shape the fate of nations, and ancient rivalries erupt into full-scale war.

In this turn-based strategy experience, you take command of one of Glorantha’s iconic factions, each with its own heroes, armies, and divine patrons. Victory demands more than raw strength: you’ll need to master the art of positioning troops, exploiting terrain, and anticipating enemy moves. The gods themselves are active participants, lending their blessings or wrath to alter the tide of battle in an instant.

Your path to dominance will take you across a living map, rich with opportunities for conquest, alliances, and betrayal. Will you unite the land under one banner, or carve out power for your chosen people by force? With every choice, you’re not just commanding an army. You’re shaping the myths and legends that will be told for generations.

From tense tactical skirmishes to sweeping campaigns that reshape the political landscape, RuneQuest: Warlords blends strategic depth with the immersive lore that Glorantha is known for. Whether you’re a veteran of the tabletop RPG or stepping into this world for the first time, you’ll find a game that rewards both cunning strategy and bold leadership.
