Human Head Studios has announced Rune: Ragnarok, a sandbox, open-world RPG that is the sequel to the 17-year old Rune game. Rune: Ragnarok is set in a dangerous universe where gods, beasts, and the last remaining humans struggle to survive.
According to its description, Rune: Ragnarok promises to combine brutal melee combat with rich, Norse-inspired mythology.
Chris Rhinehart, project director of Rune: Ragnarok, said:
“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.”

OMG A SEQUEL TO RUNE I CAME A LITTLE.
i remember original rune was struggling to run on my 16mb graphic card so i bought a 32mb graphic card
My d*ck is so f’ing hard after reading this holy moly.
LOL 🙂
2019 probably…
So glad Human Head Studios still lives, Bethesda really screwed them hard by cancelling Prey 2.
Insane news! This is how I like to start my Mondays.
I hope this delivers, after the disappointment that was Vikings Wolves of Midgard.
YEAH BABY!
Was just thinking about Rune and HH a couple days ago!
I’m so happy! :’D
1, I remmeber that during prey 2 cancelation one of the devs said that human head had only the rights to develop prey 2 and bethesda cancelled it, i guess they dug up on of ther old ips.
2.I never finished rune, it started solid but the game descented into a undergound corridor simulator with a simplistic combat system used against enemies which were mostly undead and got up again after you knocked them down. Such a waste, i kept playing but the least interesting and more repettive it became. When i think of vikings i dont think killing zombies in undergound dungeons.
3.It feels like developers go to GDC and talk about what kind of games to develop. Back in 2008 we had games in africa like far cry 2 and resident evil 5. In 2010-2011 we had slide, every shooter had a slide mechanic, crysis 2, black ops, vanquish, killzone 3. IN 2012-13 we had bows, crysis, far cry 3, crysis 3. In 2015-2016, we had far cry knockoffs, homefront the revolution, ghost warrior 3. Now with this, god of war and hellblade we got vikings.
4.They could still release prey 2 with some changes.
Actually they acused it of being racist even back then, too many black people to kill they said…in africa.
Yes i meant tomb raider 2013 instead of crysis.
I really liked Run and it’s hard to belive it’s been seventeen years since I have played it for the first time. I really hope this new rune game will turn out great, and that trailer already gets me excited 🙂
Let’s hope they have you crushing in the skull of a warrior adorning the signature Skyrim helm. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c97e4bdb88e2f37533ffefcc9aef870981dc0ad25c04ce2be9fefc6dc29f6791.jpg
Our prayers have been answered finally. FINALLY. Rune was amazing.
Excellent news…can’t wait to see gameplay!
Human Head Studios? Sold. We didn’t get the awesome Prey sequel they were going to make but we’re getting this.
let’s hope it won’t be as disappointing as Hellblade…
I hope it will be sexier.
