Toylogic and PLAION have announced that the free-to-play, third-person, online multiplayer warfare game, Warlander, is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on 16 May 2023. The game will feature cross-play across all platforms, including PC.

Warlander features a new genre of competitive gaming which is a hybrid between hack-and-slash, shooter and strategy with up to 100 players divided into five armies with the goal of destroying each other’s castles. Boasting three different classes: the warrior, the mage or the cleric, players can choose their preferred playstyle including the use of catapults, siege towers, battering rams and cataclysmic idols capable of potentially changing the tide of the battle or securing victory.

In preparation for the console launch, there are:

• Two new maps:
  • Dawn Bridge B is an alternate version of the original Dawn Bridge map but covered in fog and with the number and location of the towers and siege weapons.
  • Moonlit Temple allows players to experience battles under the moonlight and features four catapults in the center which can play an important role in pushing the frontline. Additionally, siege battles utilize two routes requiring new strategies for both defense and attack.
• Two new skills:
  • The Divine Hammer builds up the cleric’s power that can be unleashed in a mighty hammer blow. It blasts nearby enemies away and heals allies at the same time. The skill can be charged up in three stages with the higher stages boosting range, damage and knockback.
  • Phoenix is an ultimate skill exclusive to the new Rank 5 Mage title, Inferno. Players can summon a phoenix to fly over the battlefield raining down fire, destroying siege weapons and other structures.

Warlander combatants finished over 400,000 battles on Steam so far slaying over one million players in the process.

It is now the perfect time to join Warlander with the start of Season 1 of the season pass which will contain new armor skins, new weapons, new emblems, new titles and more. The shop will also receive an update with new items becoming available at the start of the season.

Warlander is free-to-play right now on Steam. To find out more, check out the official Warlander website or join the discussion and connect with the Warlander community via the game’s Official Discord server.
