Glorantha: The Gods War (2020)


Designed by Sandy Petersen and set in the mythic world of Glorantha, The Gods War is a fast moving multiplayer strategy game set in a universe on the brink of disaster.  In The Gods War, you take the part of powerful elemental forces, battling to determine the fate of the cosmos.  The Gods War was in development for more than three years and is tightly balanced.  It is highly asymmetric featuring wildly different factions.  Fight over territory, perform miracles, and command monsters and gods.  Storm the gates of heaven itself or watch the world collapse into the Chaos Rift.
