Remember Rune? The classic PC title from Human Head Studios who went on to develop the original Prey and then work on the cancelled sequel? Well, it's back! With the original development studio back at the helm for Rune: Ragnarok an "open-world RPG set in a dangerous Norse universe during the end of days".

Awesome!

A highly anticipated follow-up to Rune, the team’s hit action-adventure game, Rune: Ragnarok places players in the middle of an epic battle where gods, beasts, and the last remaining humans struggle to survive.

By pledging allegiance to one of the Norse gods, players gain favor and special abilities to aid them as they raid enemy villages, fight the undead in brutal melee combat, sail to new lands, and craft powerful weapons to complete the goals of their god and conclude Ragnarok.

From Project Director Chris Rhinehart: “After seventeen years, we are thrilled to finally announce a new Rune game. 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.”

Yeah, this one caught us by surprise today. We have a lto of fond memories of playing this during the early days of the 3D graphics card boom. No release date has been set.
