Human Head Studios Breathes New Life Into Rune 2 With Their First Major Update Called ‘Lazarus’

Viking survival action MMORPG Rune 2 just got a do-over of sorts with the release of their first major update, called “Lazarus.” The update introduces a completely overhauled player progression system, a new parry system, hundreds of new weapon and gear customization options, and major improvements to gameplay which includes the addition of villagers and villager sidequests.

“The ‘Lazarus Update 1.1’ breathes new life into RUNE II with the addition of villagers. As players progress through the game to rebuild Midgard one piece at a time, villagers will return to the land. Villagers provide narration to the side quests and will grant bonuses to aid players in their quest to vanquish the mad god Loki.”

The update also features a whole host of improvements and fixes including a reworked Stamina system, combat tweaks, rebalanced enemy difficulty, and more. You’ll find the full list of new features and changes on the Rune 2 official site.
