Alruna: End of History hits Steam next month

Another game in the Alruna series will make its way onto Steam in June.

Alruna: End of History will launch on June 3. This is the second title in the Alruna series following Alruna and the Necro-Industrialists. A new trailer can be seen below.

Developer Niklas Hallin said this about the new game:

“I can’t stop making Alruna games! They’re so pure and direct. Any cool idea, no matter how crazy, can fit in. This time I’m really trying to break the limits of a pixel-art sidescroller. What can you do with the format, if you are a bit daring?

It’s important to keep the flame of genuine creativity alive, especially in the face of robber-baron tech-corporations and generative AI. I’m not using any genAI for game development, obviously, but I’m also deliberately blowing my whole marketing budget on paying artists to draw Alruna. That’s the Alruna Art Bomb! I’ve been commissioning all sorts of artists and illustrators for this, principally looking for queer artists, outsider artists and beginners just starting out. In the end, the Art Bomb grew to nearly 40 pieces in total.”

A synopsis for Alruna: End of History reads:

Alruna, sweet Alruna, can you feel the emptiness? What little remains of the material world has long since been hollowed out by the Necro-Industrialists. But listen, Alruna, there's another dryad, so very much like you. She is Divinity's Creature, she is Heaven's Gate. Torment is her lot, Alruna. Will you be her savior? Or will you let her go?

Life is suffering, but suffering brings salvation.

Beyond the End of History lies the promise of Elysium.

A demo is available on Steam right now here.
