Warhaven has been under development for quite some time, with even the studio dating the game’s first alpha test to back in 2021. The game was released as an Early Access title on Steam back in September 2023, and has since seen constant updates like the addition of new items and events.

“From the 1st alpha test in 2021 to the global early access in 2023, Warhaven has come this far, thanks to everyone’s love and support,” said the studio in its announcement. “We want to express our gratitude for the love and care you have shown for Warhaven.”

Warhaven pits two teams of 16 players each against each other in medieval warfare. The game features different game modes like the objective-oriented Dominion or the action-centric Skirmish modes. The game launched with six different playable classes.

For the sake of context, at the time of writing, Warhaven‘s aggregated reviews on Steam sits at Mixed, with several reviews praising the title’s core gameplay, while criticising the lack of balance in the game’s combat. Other players noted that the game needed more development time for the sake of polish.

Warhaven is a 16v16 title focused on medieval warfare across modes like Dominion, where you capture different hardpoints on the map and Skirmish, which is essentially team deathmatch (with mounted weapons available like cannon and ballistae). There are six classes, from the Martyr and its focus on melee combat to the Raven and their ranged magic.

Performing well during a match allows players to embody powerful Immortals, which can decimate squads of enemies. There are different cosmetics to unlock and customize one’s character for some extra flair on the battlefield.

How long Warhaven will remain in early access remains to be seen, so stay tuned for more details and announcements from the Future Games Show.

Promising a variety of different game modes, tactical and dynamic melee combat, and some pretty epic special abilities to work towards, Warhaven is looking like an intriguing take on the fantasy brawler formula that fans of the genre will want to keep an eye on. Check out the trailer below.

Meanwhile, Nexon has also confirmed a release window for the title. Warhaven will launch for PC this Fall. Whether or not it will also come to consoles down the line remains to be seen.

Meanwhile, before its PC launch, later this month, players will also get the opportunity to go hands-on with it, with a Warhaven demo also confirmed to be playable for free during Steam Next Fest, which kicks off on June 19 and runs until June 26.
