Grid View

Frontier will release four factions, but only two have been announced: The superhuman Stormcast Eternals and the cunning Orruk Kruleboyz. During a recent behind-closed-doors presentation, Polygon watched a portion of the game’s second campaign mission, in which a battle played out between the two factions. The Eternals were led by the Eternals player who had access to Sigrun Iden Demechrios and a wide range of superhumans.

By capturing “Arcane Conduits,” the player progressed through the Eternals’ tech tree, unlocking increasingly powerful units (including Annihilators, Prosecutors, and the Stormdrake Guard), and defeated the Kruleboyz across the map. It was a fast-paced battle, but it seemed to be intense. Recent real-time strategy games have included a “tactical pause” option to increase approachability without sacrificing intensity, but it remains to be seen whether Realms of Ruin Will follow suit

Frontier is yet to reveal a date of release for Realms of RuinThe dates of the planned beta multiplayer games. This will mark the studio’s first foray into the real-time strategy space, which, despite its decreased popularity since the “Golden Age” of early-’00s mainstays, has been on a hot streak in recent years. Realms of Ruin This will be the very first game that is set in the Age of Sigmar universe since 2021’s Storm Ground – Warhammer Age of SigmarXCOM like game that is solid, but easily forgotten.
