Warhaven, the highly anticipated squad-based 16 vs. 16 medieval fantasy brawler, has been generating excitement among gaming enthusiasts. Recently, the game unveiled cinematic and gameplay trailers in prominent gaming events such as Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest, IGN’s Summer of Gaming, GamesRadar+’s Future Games Show, and PC Gamer’s PC Gaming Show. It was also featured on the official Summer Game Fest Steam event. Now, to further engage the gaming community, Nexon, the publisher of Warhaven, has released a playable demo as part of the Steam Next Fest.
The demo, available for a limited time until June 26th, offers an opportunity for warriors to experience the game’s latest updates, mechanics, game modes, maps, and in-game events. Players can now play as Hush, a swift and silent assassin, who is the latest addition to Warhaven’s soldier roster. To access the demo, interested participants can download and install it directly from the official Warhaven Steam page. Detailed instructions and a helpful FAQ are provided to assist players throughout the process. Additionally, the recently unveiled Warhaven lore page offers insights into the diverse roster of playable characters, including six soldiers and four Immortals, each equipped with unique skills and combat actions.
The demo introduces several changes and additions to enhance the gaming experience. A tutorial mode and practice battlefield have been included to help players refine their abilities and tactics, allowing them to turn the tides of war in their favor. The scoring system has been updated, shifting the focus to gaining points for the team rather than reducing the opposing team’s points. Players can also engage in intense skirmish battles on the new map called “Sihan” and experience the renamed Dominion mode (formerly known as Onslaught mode). Moreover, players can earn medals by reaching specific battle points, which can be used to activate powerful Relics capable of shifting the balance of the battle.
To make the demo even more engaging, Nexon has organized four exciting in-game events exclusively for the Steam Next Fest:
- Daily Login Event: Players can earn rewards by logging in to the game each day during the event.
- Login Time Event: Additional rewards await players based on their cumulative playtime during the event period.
- New Recruit Event: Existing players can bring new recruits into the game and earn rewards based on their recruits’ progress.
- World Pass Event: By completing specific objectives and challenges, players can unlock exclusive rewards and bonuses.
The Warhaven demo is accessible through the official Steam game page until June 26th. Players eagerly anticipating the full release can add the game to their wishlist via the game’s Steam page. Warhaven is set to launch on Windows PC through Steam in Fall 2023. For more information, players can visit the official website or explore the newly introduced official lore site to delve deeper into the rich world of Warhaven. Additionally, gamers can join the official Warhaven Discord server to connect with fellow warriors and participate in discussions.
