Rune II Development Update – March 2020

The now-defunct Human Head Studios released their multiplayer Viking-themed action-RPG Rune II last year in a less than ideal state. As a result, the game’s original publisher Ragnarok Game LLC is now tasked with updating the game and making sure it eventually becomes worthy of its limb-chopping legacy.

With that in mind, you might want to check out this development update that serves as a recap of all the changes and improvements Ragnarok Game introduced over the course of March. As the update is quite lengthy, here’s just a couple of paragraphs and you take things from there:

Main Game Update…when?

With all of these changes that we’ve made over the past month, we’ve talked a lot about when the best time to update the RUNE II live client. We don’t want to rush out an update that could have showstopping bugs, like the bug that we found and fixed preventing players from aligning to a god in Single Player. The RUNE II live client will receive an update after we have gone through a rigorous testing, bug fixing, and polish phase.
