The recently announced Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin Beta is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam. Players can download the beta and jump into 1v1 cross-platform multiplayer with two complete factions: Stormcast Eternals and Orruk Kruleboyz.
Players take command of their chosen army in fiercely competitive fantasy battles. They’ll engage in a brutal tug-of-war for control of the map. Summon troops to the battlefield, gather resources, capture Victory Points and ambush opponents across multiple fronts. Alongside 1v1 online matches, the Open Beta also offers an option to play against an AI bot.
Console and PC players can try the ‘DirectStep’ control scheme for the first time. This allows for rapid-fire movement orders, instant cycling between squads and flexible command of the battlefield on a controller. Traditional mouse and keyboard RTS controls will also be available on PC and console.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin Open Beta Details
The Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin beta gives players an early opportunity to check out Frontier Developments’ RTS adaptation up close. Each unit on the battlefield draws significant inspiration from its tabletop counterparts. From the Stormcast Eternals’ brutal Annihilators and winged Prosecutors to the Orruk Kruleboyz’ lumbering Marshcrawla Sloggoth and mobs of Hobgrot Slittaz, authenticity is at the heart Frontier’s approach to adapting this universe for the RTS genre.
The Open Beta is designed to test the game’s servers and assist the developers in faction balancing. It will end on 10th July, 2023, at 23:59 BST. A second Open Beta is planned for later this summer, with further details to be revealed soon.
