Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access allows us to balance combat, tune character abilities, and stress-test our networking infrastructure with a live community. As a competitive arena brawler, gathering player data and direct feedback is vital for refining movement mechanics, optimizing match pacing, and squashing edge-case bugs before our full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to remain in Early Access for approximately six months as we gather gameplay balance data and finalize stability improvements. ”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“For the full version, we plan to implement offline bot support for practice matches, refine overall character and sandbox balance based on player telemetry, further optimize networking and client performance, and address any community-reported bugs.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access build is fully playable and includes the core 4v4 third-person melee arena experience. All core gameplay features, including relic capture objectives, chained movement mechanics (dashes, slides, dodges), character ability kits, and arena maps, are fully implemented and functional.

Please refer to the "About This Game" section above for a complete breakdown of current gameplay mechanics.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No. Mythbound is free to play and will remain free upon its full official launch.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will actively involve the community through scheduled Steam Playtest windows, where we will closely monitor player feedback, match telemetry, and bug reports from each session. Players can also communicate directly with our team via our official Discord server and the Steam Community Hub discussions. We will use the insights gathered from these playtests to guide our balance iterations, combat tuning, and quality-of-life improvements, sharing regular updates and patch notes along the way.

To view major updates or contact the team directly, please refer to our studio website.”

About This Game

WHAT IS MYTHBOUND?

Mythbound is a competitive, third-person Norse arena brawler where players clash in team-based melee combat with advanced movement and godly abilities to capture and deliver an ancient relic.

THE GODS ARE WATCHING. GIVE THEM A FIGHT.

Those who enter the arena are the Bound, contestants who signed their souls over in exchange for something greater than themselves. Each one fights under the sponsorship of a god who trades power for spectacle.

Run, slide, kick off walls and carry your speed into melee. Combine your movement with two god-granted abilities to create openings and keep opponents under pressure.

THREE WAYS TO FIGHT

Relic Rush

Two teams fight over a central relic while defending three goals of their own. Delivering the relic to a goal destroys it. When a team loses every goal they can no longer respawn. The last team standing wins.

Team Deathmatch

Two teams battle to earn the most eliminations before the match timer reaches zero.

Free For All

Players fight without allies in a battle for survival. The most eliminations when time expires wins.

CHOOSE YOUR BOUND

Four contestants. Four divine sponsors. Each Bound brings a distinct fighting style and two god-granted abilities to the arena.

Eirik Stormbrand - Thor's Bound

Eirik enters the arena as a steadfast frontline warrior, breaking enemy formations while protecting those beside him.

Skari Gravewind - Loki's Bound

Skari darts through battle with a grin, marking vulnerable enemies before striking where they least expect her.

Alvar Tideborn - Njord's Bound

Alvar commands the battlefield like a shifting tide, pulling enemies out of position and controlling where they stand.

Yrsa Gravewind - Hel's Bound

Yrsa carries the stillness of the grave into battle, trapping enemies and draining the strength from those around her.

THREE REALMS TO FIGHT FOR

Midgard

Midgard sits at the heart of the World Tree and is home to the Bound. Its hardy people raise generations of strong warriors shaped for the arena.

Helheim

Deep beneath the roots of the World Tree, Helheim shelters forgotten souls denied entry to Valhalla. Its city of the dead is now an arena where the Bound fight to prove their worth.

Himinbjorg

High atop mountains that scrape the sky, the Bound fight in and around the palace of Himinbjorg. Home to Heimdall, it guards the gateway between Midgard and Asgard.
