Lords & Legions — Early Access Begins

🎮 Release Event Announcement: Lords & Legions

Prepare yourself — war arrives on 23 September 2025! Lords & Legions, the medieval fantasy battle sandbox from Warborne Studios, is launching on Steam in Early Access — and we want you to be part of its forging.


What to Expect

  • Command from the Front — Take control of a heroic champion in third-person combat. Your hero’s abilities, strengths, and choices matter.

  • Lead Armies, Shape Legends — Start small, grow your forces, train units, gather gold, and prepare for epic castle sieges and massive battlefield confrontations.

  • Campaign Mode + Roguelike Map Traversal — Every run is different. Random encounters, opportunity & risk, and escalating challenges as you push further into hostile territory.

  • Sandbox Mode — No rules other than those you make. Design your own battles: choose terrain, weather, unit types, army size. Relive cinematic clashes or craft wild, chaotic warfare.

  • Living Development with You in Mind — Player feedback will help shape balance, quest content, difficulty. We’ll expand with new biomes, support for new heroes, skill trees, new “Domination Mode,” and more as Early Access progresses.


Why Join on Day One?

  • Influence the direction of a distinctive hybrid: strategy + action RPG + large-scale warfare.

  • Forge your legend from scratch — feel your decisions carry weight, from hero growth to army command.

  • Be part of a community shaping something ambitious: unique maps, grand battles, varied biomes, evolving challenges.

  • Early Access pricing and content means what you see now will grow — being an early supporter gives you front row access to improvements and expansions.
