Stray Kite Studios, founded by former Borderlands and BioShock developers, has announced Wartorn, a fantasy roguelike with tactical combat.
The game's story follows sisters Yara and Elani as they journey across the war-torn islands of Talaur to reach their ancestral fortress. They'll be joined by various fantasy creatures who will aid them in battle. Combat in Wartorn is real-time, squad-based, with success depending on smart troop positioning and skill combinations. According to the developers, roguelike elements will enhance replayability, making each playthrough unique.
Wartorn is being led by Paul Hellquist, former lead designer on BioShock. The game is set for a Spring 2025 Early Access launch on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
