Warhaven is a free-to-play PvP medieval fantasy brawler that pits two teams of up to 12 players each in epic objective-based battles. The war between the Alliance and the Mara dominates the world of Herath. Warriors armed with swords, spears, maces, and other fierce weapons don armor to conquer their rivals and seize control of important tactical vantage points. Successful fighters can become powerful Immortals whose incredible powers can sway the tide of battle. Prepare for visceral carnage in large-scale, squad-based clashes that will test your skills and teamwork.
For those who have participated in previous betas, the Warhaven team has some updates on changes coming to the Early Access build next month. The biggest change is a reduction in squad sizes from 4 to 3, resulting in a 12 vs. 12 battle rather than the initial 16 vs. 16. Additionally, they are reducing Immortal incarnations to once per match to help balance the battles. Finally, the Onslaught and Arms Race game modes will return with clearer victory conditions to add more variety to the gameplay. Check out the recent Dev Log for full details.
Warhaven will launch into Early Access on Steam for Windows PCs on September 21, 2023. Don't forget to add it to your wishlist via the game's Steam page.
