'Tyranny' Gets Release Date, Pre-Order Bonus, Collector's Editions - Trailer

by Rainier on Oct. 13, 2016 @ 9:18 a.m. PDT

Tyranny is a role-playing game that introduces players to an original fantasy world where a brutal clash between good and evil has taken place – and evil emerged triumphant.

In Tyranny, the grand war between good and evil is over – and the forces of evil, led by Kyros the Overlord, have won. The Overlord’s merciless armies dominate the face of the world, and its denizens must find their new roles within the war-torn realm. Players interact with the populace to inspire loyalty, disgust, or fear as they roam the world as an officer in Kyros’ forces, empowered to act as both judge and executioner.

A nonlinear story challenges players to find their role within the dominant empire and live with the outcomes of difficult, morally unclear decisions.

Starting today, players can pre-order Tyranny in advance of the game’s launch, and secure bonus material that will help demonstrate their loyalty to Kyros the Overlord.
