Human Head Studios is excited to announce Rune: Ragnarok, a sandbox, open-world RPG. Set in a dangerous universe where gods, beasts, and the last remaining humans struggle to survive, Rune: Ragnarok combines brutal melee combat with rich, Norse-inspired mythology.This is actually a sequel to a game they made 17 years ago. I loved the original Rune, so... yeah, needless to say I've got my eye on this one. From this PC Gamer article: A sequel to Rune is in the works, an open world RPG called Rune: Ragnarok. There's a teaser trailer above.
Ragnarok is "set in a dangerous Norse universe during the end of days" and places players "in the middle of an epic battle where gods, beasts, and the last remaining humans struggle to survive" according to Human Head Studios' press release.
"After seventeen years, we are thrilled to finally announce a new Rune game," says project director Chris Rhinehart. "In the spirit of the original, Rune: Ragnarok has intense and brutal combat in a world steeped in Norse mythology. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve created."
- So... they're going full-on Open World RPG for this one, interesting... For comparison, the original Rune was a linear action game using the Unreal Engine. Human Head Studios recently had a Dev Stream with the original Rune, if you want to see what it was like.

I wouldn't call that a trailer, it's more like a teaser. But at least it looks in-game and if it's an RPG it instantly catches my attention. Although they haven't showed gameplay at all, if it's something like the first one (looking at the other video, I never played it), it may be something that I'm gonna be interested in.

Oh I played Rune back then, even tried the MP. Love the change near the end and the armor. Superhero. I went for the good ending; why the heck would I side with Loki. Sandbox for the sequel? umm...not exactly my cup of tea. I'd rather have a good story and chars.

WCCFTech: Human Head on Rune: Ragnarok – Not A Direct Sequel; Powered by Unreal Engine 4wccftech.com/human-head-rune-ragnarok-interview/A sandbox open world RPG set during the end of times in Norse mythology, we know very little else on Rune: Ragnarok other than there will be fighting, raiding, sailing and crafting, as fitting for this kind of game.It’s not a direct sequel in that it doesn’t continue Ragnar’s story from the original Rune. This new game is set a long time after the original during the end of days, Ragnarok. If you’re not familiar with the mythology, Ragnarok begins and a great war breaks out between humans, giants, and beasts. The Gods themselves fight and many of them die. At the end, the world is consumed by fire and reborn anew.
In Rune: Ragnarok, the world has not been reborn anew. The battle has raged on for seven years. Most people have perished. You’re one of the remaining humans, trying to survive and bring about an end to Ragnarok.
It takes place across (the 9 Norse) realms that have merged when Ragnarok began. Most of the game takes place in Midgard.
The combat system will be brutal and will have gore, certainly. True to the original Rune, you can lop off your enemy’s arm and beat them to death with it. ( - Hrungr) More information about the combat system and controls will be revealed at a later date!
PC initially, but we certainly have Mac, Linux, and consoles in mind for the future.

While I am always interested in an RPG based around vikings and norse mythology I am not sure a new game in the Rune IP is something I am really looking for.
The original game was nothing like an RPG, it was more of an action platformer and to put it bluntly, it was kind of shit. I am not one to dismiss something out of hand though so if they can show something interesting then I would be interested in giving it a chance, however it is anything like it's predecessor I think I will pass.
Besides the trailer shows nothing beyond the fact that a game is in the works and does not give much of an idea of what to expect so pretty hard to get excited for it at this point.

They've only really ramped up production this year, so it'll probably be a while yet before we start seeing gameplay. That said, I loved the original Rune. It's one of my favorite games of that era. I'm very curious to see where they're going with this, and hoping we're seeing another sleeper hit on our hands as we did with Hellblade.

A new pre-alpha trailer for the game just dropped. Looks promising!

I guess that's Loki at the end. And it looks a male protag.
