Hey everyone
It's been a while since our last update and we appreciate those who have stuck around.
New Website
Firstly, we’d like to announce that we’ve launched a brand-new website with up-to-date information:

New Direction
Over the past years, we’ve taken a step back to rethink the direction of the game and what kind of experience we want to offer. What started as a PvP free-for-all has now grown into something far more focused:
Right to Rule is shifting to a cooperative action RPG with a branching narrative.
You and up to 3 friends will explore Drakenheim together. We’ve rebuilt almost every system from the ground up to better support cooperative gameplay with cleaner code, more robust architecture, and scalability. Some of these improvements include shared quest progression across the party and multi-character dialogue where players can join in and influence the outcome together. We will discuss these changes gradually with our following posts, where we will go over them in detail.
New World
The same can be said for Drakenheim, which has been completely remade as well, and is much larger in scale as opposed to previous iterations. The island now features distinct regions, some with a different climate and atmosphere. This includes snow-covered mountains visible from across the map, dense forests, sand dunes, and more. We hope that this will make exploration feel more varied and immersive.
PAX East 2025
For those of you who came to our booth at PAX East, first of all, thank you. You will have already experienced most of our changes that we made to the game (in a less polished state), but since then we’ve added some new features as well.
A Stronger Foundation
This new direction allows us to deliver a more interesting gameplay experience because we can now focus on a richer story and immersive gameplay mechanics that would not be possible in our original PvP format. That said, we’re not getting rid of the previous mode permanently, it may return in the future as a separate gamemode. We also plan to implement some PvP features intertwined with the new co-op direction.
Thanks for sticking with us. There’s a lot more coming soon.
