Chronicle: RuneScape Legends gives players the chance to write the fate of Legends from the world of RuneScape in a battle of wits, strategy and combat where lives are gambled on the turn of the cards. It’s a game where two rival Legend adventurers are seeking victory and both are equipped with the tools to trip the other up.

As every quest chapter opens, a rich environment is revealed and offers up four slots for card placement, each representing a step forward and action point in the adventure. In the role of a chosen Legend, players select up to four cards from their deck, which can be a mix of Support and Enemy cards each with an action and specific values. These are then placed in the slots on the landscape and locked in sequence.

In Chronicle, the player’s cards are both their greatest weapon and weakness. Like any great role playing game, players slay monsters, bosses and other foes to gain loot. Unlike other card games, players need to battle their own cards, rather than their opponents.

As the sequence of cards turn – one-by-one – the quest unfolds, with each card bringing a new challenge or reward. The rival Legend’s chain of cards plays out in parallel and can help or, more likely, hinder the player. If both players make it to the end of the fifth chapter, the Legends do battle against each other, with the victor being the last person standing.

The 1.4 update brings with it the highly anticipated, sixth Legend – Morvran, the Slayer Master. Players will have to use their wits and guile to secure success and reap the rewards, as they strive to add the Legend to their collection.

Morvran’s addition to the line-up of Legends is free, only requiring players to take on and defeat the Slayer Master himself. Bringing with him a new set of unique tactics and strategies to use against their foes, as well as 37 new cards and two additional character skins, players will be able to forge their own quests and customise Morvran to make him their own. As the Slayer Master, the Legend’s aggressive nature and array of violent monster cards make him a formidable opponent for all who encounter him. Players will have to adapt to this new style of gameplay to thrive!

The addition of Morvran precedes the game’s first-ever event, Beach Party, which begins later this summer. Debuting three new, sun-soaked, tropical environments, the event will also see the inclusion of new community quests – where players have to work together to succeed – as well as rewards such as exclusive cards for taking part.

“Chronicle’s launch on Steam was just the prologue of our own quest to continue delivering a strong line up of content for the game. The addition of Morvran as our sixth Legend will shake up the strategies and tactics of even top Platinum-ranked players, but he is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of planned content for the rest of the year and beyond,” said James Sweatman, lead designer, Chronicle: RuneScape Legends. “We’ve had great feedback from gamers across the world since Chronicle launched in May, and we’re looking forward to continuing our journey with them!”
