Hello everyone!
The time has finally come to share the news we’ve been working toward. We are incredibly excited to announce that Runeborn: Shadows Awakened will officially launch into 1.0 on March 10th, 2026!
Early Access has been an incredible journey of discovery, and your feedback has shaped Runeborn into the experience it is today. But we aren’t just crossing a finish line, we’re opening the gates to a massive amount of new content, polished systems, and a world that feels more alive (and dangerous) than ever.
To celebrate the announcement, we’ve put together a brand-new trailer and broadcast stream to give you a glimpse of the shadows that are about to awaken:
What’s Waiting in 1.0?
We’ll be sharing more detailed deep-dives as we get closer to launch, but here is a taste of what to expect when the clock strikes 1.0 on March 10th:
New Frontiers: Explore brand-new areas filled with unique challenges.
The Bestiary Expands: Face off against a host of new enemies, deadly Elites, and Mini-Bosses that will test even the most optimized builds.
Master the Collections: A new progression system that rewards your persistence and tracks your mastery over the world of Runeborn.
Claim Your Glory: With individual area leaderboards, you can finally prove who the true master of each biome is.
Complete Overhaul: From a revamped tutorial for new players to stabilized Endless modes and a massive visual polish across the board, the game has never looked or felt better.
