Frontier Developments has revealed that the first three missions of Warhammer Age of Sigmar Realms of Ruin will be available in a demo as part of Steam Next Fest starting on Monday, October 9th. Introducing an exciting new entry into the real-time strategy genre ahead of launch on November 17th, players will take command of the mighty Stormcast Eternals faction in dramatic battles against the cunning Orruk Kruleboyz and the spectres of the Nighthaunt.
In the first two missions of the game, the Stormcast Eternals strike out from the fortress settlement of Harkanibus in search of a powerful source of magic in the swamps of the Mortal Realm Ghur. Their goal is to save the settlement from the encroaching forces of the Orruk Kruleboyz – and the artefact offers them their best shot at pushing their invaders back. Players will clash with the Kruleboyz as they learn how to play Realms of Ruin, including how to accumulate resources, counter enemy attack strategies, summon new units to the field and upgrade their command posts to access additional unit types.
In the third mission of the demo, players’ strategic skills will be put to the test. The Stormcast Eternals discover the source of magic in the swamp, but find it bound in the ethereal chains of the Nighthaunt. Fending off waves of Chainrasps and other spectral horrors, they’ll defend the celestial battlemage Demechrios as he breaks the chains to unleash the arcane force. What happens after this battle – including the dark, enigmatic history of the artefact itself – is waiting for players to discover in the full campaign.
Featuring full motion-captured cutscenes, this singleplayer demo gives players just a taste of Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin’s comprehensive RTS experience. Alongside the campaign, players will enjoy the repeatable singleplayer Conquest mode, 1v1 and 2v2 multiplayer, detailed unit customisation in the Army Livery tool, and the ability to construct detailed multiplayer battlefields or scenes in the Map Editor tool.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar Realms of Ruin launches on 17th November for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. The game is available to pre-order now on all platforms, with up to three days’ early unlock available for those who pre-order the Deluxe and Ultimate Editions of the game.
