Publishers The Arcade Crew and Dotemu, and developer Rues Studio have announced Wardens of Avalon, a top-down action RPG playable entirely solo or by up to four players cooperatively. It will launch for PC via Steam in 2027. A playtest is planned for later in June.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
The Knights of the Round Table have all fallen into corruption. Their once glorious estates lie in ruins, and Arthur himself might not be the legend the bards sang about.
Chosen by Morgan Pendragon herself as a new member of the Twilight Knights, you must rebuild Camelot into a fiefdom worthy of the ancient Knights of the Round Table. Slay enemies with steel and sacred light and explore Avalon to eradicate once and for all the dark forces plaguing the land.
Restore Avalone to its Former Glory
With the resources you collect throughout your adventures, rebuild from the ruins of Camelot a fiefdom that stands the trials of time and the unrelenting attacks of the corrupted forces of Avalon.
As your new fiefdom grows and you open new districts, you will welcome new workshops and buildings—bringing in blacksmiths, druids, apothecaries, herborists and more to your land. Crafting and upgrading your gear is key in your journey through Wardens of Avalon, and taking care of your land and equipment will lead you to discover new quests and new adventures.
Brave the Perils of a Corrupt Land
Avalon is a land full of dangers and opportunities, where every region has its own challenges, quests, enemies, and unique resources to collect.
Carve your way through handcrafted environments and explore ruins, forests and former bastions of the Knights of the Round Table. There, you will face legendary bosses in your quest to end corruption.
As you rise victorious, you’ll bring back key resources and items to improve your fiefdom and gear… before going back into adventure where even greater dangers await.
Raise Your Sword Against Darkness
Experience exhilarating combat through a classless system designed to provide freedom to all players. Break your oath, swear a new one, and change your Twilight Knight’s build according to what the situation requires. Gather and craft mighty weapons and suits of armor, and imbue them with powerful seals to better suit your playstyle.
Use your hammer to strike and stun enemies, wear sacred armors to boost your fire power or assimilate corruption at your own risk to deal significant damage. Prepare to dodge, parry and master the elements when the situation needs it the most… but you will not have to do it alone.
Gather Your Order Under Pendragon’s Banner
Wardens of Avalon is fully playable solo or co-op up to 4 players. Form your own order with friends, manage your fiefdom together, defend it against enemy assaults and prove your worth in challenging encounters where teamwork and coordination are essential to achieve victory.
Team up with knights from all over the lands and set out on a mission to restore Camelot as the new Twilight Knights!
