'Ran: Lost Islands' (ALL) Free Multiplayer Test During Steam Game Festival - Trailer

by Rainier on June 12, 2020 @ 11:45 a.m. PDT

RAN: Lost Islands is an online multiplayer combat game set in the 16th Century that thrusts 100 players against one another during the thrilling Age of Discovery.

As outcasts battling to survive on the high seas, they seek magnificent ancient treasure and legendary artefacts beneath cursed islands. Great courage and wisdom will be needed to eliminate all enemies - by fair means or foul - and triumphantly return home from the swashbuckling adventure.

Whether discovering high-level equipment or searching for treasure and artefacts, players will need to collect multiple clues at landmarks hidden on the islands such as temples, natural caves, and the walled city, among many others. Some ancient holy items are buried in relics or under shipwrecks. 

Three warring factions; The European Empire, Ming Dynasty and Japanese Shogunate, featuring 9 distinct classes provide a wealth of gameplay options. Switch between classes using different combat styles to gain fortune and glory.

Sail the high seas, bombarding the enemy with your cannons, or ambush and overrun a mighty vessel with visceral melée combat - in Ran: Lost Islands even the terrifying excitement of underwater combat becomes part of the action. With an arsenal of period weapons from different factions, and an exhilarating mix of traditional ACT combat controls and combo techniques, your mastery of skills and strategy shall ultimately prevail.

But beware, because you must face not only other players but also powerful enemies such as the survivors of exotic hunts, wild scavengers in the woods, and even humongous sea monsters! 


Ran: Lost Islands will participate in The Steam Game Festival: Summer Edition, where all players are granted access to Ran: Lost Islands for FREE.

The Ran: Lost Islands free play test will start on June 16 at 10:00AM PDT and end on June 22 at 10:00 AM PDT. Sign up at the official website to get access to the RAN: Lost Islands and to future Beta tests.

  • Melee Vs. Firearms: Venture back to the Age of Discovery, into the battle maelstrom of melee firearms. Sail the high seas, bombarding the enemy with your cannons. Or ambush and hack-n-slash to overrun a mighty vessel. The game even features the terrifying excitement of underwater combat.
    With an arsenal of melee weapons from the different factions, and an exhilarating mix of traditional ACT combat controls and combo techniques, your mastery of skills and strategy shall ultimately prevail.
    The effective use of early firearms of the game depends on the rhythm and accuracy of your actions. In contrast to other TPS games, how you cooperate with your teammates - to fight tactically and place traps and barrier items - will play a huge part in the outcome of team matches.
  • A Thrilling Treasure Hunting Adventure: Whether you're discovering high-level equipment or searching for treasure and artifacts, you will need to collect multiple clues at landmarks hidden on the islands such as temples, natural caves, and the walled city, amongst many others. Some ancient holy items are buried in relics or under shipwrecks. You will face not only other players but also powerful enemies such as the survivors of exotic hunts, wild scavengers in the woods, or even humongous sea monsters!
  • The Power of the Supernatural Artifacts: The legacy of the ancient gods will significantly empower you to defeat rival players.
  • It's the Game of Hunters and Their Prey: You will become a trackable target the moment you gather the most treasure. How will you survive this cruel game of slaughter? Are you destined to be the one to escape the islands with a priceless fortune?

Ran: Lost Islands is coming to Steam Early Access in 2020, and a PS4 version is also currently in development.
