Co-op Roguelike SWORN Leaves Early Access on September 25th

SWORN Full Launch Confirmed for September 25th, Coming to Consoles

Fans of cooperative roguelikes have a definitive date to mark on their calendars: SWORN, the action-packed title from Windwalk Games and publisher Team17, will officially exit Early Access on PC and launch across consoles on September 25th. While the digital release for Nintendo Switch is slated for a slightly later date, physical editions for both PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch are planned for early 2026.

Currently available in Early Access on PC via Steam, SWORN has already garnered significant praise, boasting an 82% positive review score from players. Gamers consistently highlight its strong cooperative gameplay and immersive, dark atmosphere. Many reviews commend the responsive combat, the diverse array of weapons, skills, and unique fairy blessings that ensure each playthrough feels fresh and distinct. The ability to team up with up to four players, discovering new combat combinations together, adds a layer of excitement and fun that genre enthusiasts appreciate, further enhanced by its striking visual style and atmospheric sound design.

While feedback has been largely positive, some Early Access players have pointed out a few areas for improvement. Concerns include a relatively modest storyline, limited player interactions outside of combat scenarios, and a desire for more detailed damage and progress statistics within the game's hub. Additionally, some felt certain characters and mechanics could benefit from further refinement. Despite these points, many players, especially those who enjoy titles like Hades and other co-op experiences, see great potential in SWORN and consider it a worthwhile game.

Battle Against a Fallen Camelot

SWORN plunges players into a corrupted vision of Camelot, where an enchanted King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table rule with an iron fist. Players can choose to face this challenge alone or unite with up to three friends, combining unique character abilities to forge powerful and unusual combat strategies.

Throughout their journey, players will encounter familiar figures from Arthurian legends, from the enigmatic Merlin to the powerful Nimue, alongside formidable foes. Battles unfold within constantly shifting arenas, keeping combat dynamic and unpredictable. Character progression is deeply tied to a unique system of fairy blessings, offering over 200 different boons. Gifts like the fire of Titania or the rage of Oberon unlock thousands of potential combinations of weapons, skills, and abilities, allowing players to tailor their combat style to their liking.

As squires grow stronger through their adventures, they will eventually confront King Arthur himself. The developers promise a visually striking art style reminiscent of Mike Mignola's distinctive work, complemented by an atmospheric soundtrack that perfectly underscores the game's dark take on the Camelot legend.

Whether you prefer to challenge the legendary king and his knights on PC (Steam), Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, or Nintendo Switch, SWORN offers a fresh take on the roguelike genre. For those curious to try it out, the game was recently available for free play on Steam until September 1st, offering a glimpse into its challenging co-op world. This full launch means a more complete and polished experience awaits players across all major platforms, expanding the game's reach to a global audience eager for new roguelike adventures.
