Stray Kite Studios poised for Wartorn early access release on June 17

Stray Kite Studios is launching its Wartorn game into early access on Steam and the Epic Games Store tomorrow on June 17.

The real-time tactics title will be available for $29.99. There will also be a special launch week discount where the game can be purchased for $19.99.

Wartorn’s development is led by Creative Director Paul Hellquist (lead designer on BioShock and creative director on Borderlands 2), who brings his exceptional expertise into crafting a fresh new take on tactical gaming. Players follow two elven sisters as they journey to reunite their family. Along the way, they confront moral dilemmas and battle external and internal threats, all while utilizing elemental and physics-based systems in their desperate quest for survival.

Wartorn’s key features

Wartorn’s dynamic combat system lets you harness elemental forces like fire, water, and lightning, which interact in exciting ways to create unique tactical opportunities. Ignite tar to engulf enemies, amplify electric shocks with water, or douse flames to shift the tide of battle.

The game’s physics-driven destruction ensures that no two encounters play out exactly the same, adding layers of depth and unpredictability to every skirmish.

The roguelite progression system rewards players for perseverance, offering heirlooms, hero upgrades, and new abilities that carry forward with each run.

And Wartorn’s world is visually compelling, with heroes, enemy mobs, and its magical lands rendered with incredible attention to detail. The painterly aesthetic adds a gorgeous layer to the experience, even during moments of brutality and tragedy.

With the slow-time feature, even the most complex scenarios are accessible, allowing players to slow down, analyze the chaos, and issue precise commands, adapting gameplay to suit their pace.

Stray Kite Studios was founded by industry veterans with credits from some of the most successful and well-known franchises in the industry including Borderlands, BioShock, Saints Row, Fortnite, Age of Empires, and Halo Wars.

Their mission is to enrich lives by kindling the imagination, building camaraderie, and making memories that last a lifetime. The company was founded in 2018 and is based in Dallas.
