Warlander is a free-to-play, third-person, online multiplayer warfare game set in a medieval fantasy world.

Up to a hundred players will be able to join up and battle it out as part of two or five armies in skirmishes and castle sieges with the goal of breaking into the opponents’ stronghold and destroying its core.

Playing either as a warrior, cleric, or mage with their own unique set of skills, players will have the option to build up decks of finely customized characters for the battles ahead. This includes skill and ability customization as well as visual ones to help characters stand out in the heat of battle. There will be two game modes available at launch. First, a two-team mode with up to 40 players and a five-team mode with up to 100 players.

With access to offensive and defensive siege weaponry, rare cataclysmic idols, or clever warfare tactics, each army has a chance to reign victorious, no matter how certain a castle siege may seem.

In Warlander, there’s always a fighting chance to turn the tide of battle.


Toylogic and PLAION announced that Warlander is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on May 16, 2023, and features cross-play across all console and PC platforms.

In preparation for the console launch there are:

    • Dawn Bridge B is an alternate version of the original Dawn Bridge map but is covered in fog along with other new playstyle updates
    • Moonlit Temple allows players to experience battles under the moonlight and features four catapults in the center that can play an important role in pushing the frontline. Additionally, siege battles utilize two routes, requiring new strategies for both defense and attac
  •  Two new skills:
    • The Divine Hammer builds up the cleric’s power that is unleashed with a mighty hammer blow. It blasts nearby enemies away and heals allies at the same time. The skill can be charged up in three stages - with the higher stages boosting range, damage, and knockback
    • Phoenix is an ultimate skill exclusive to the new Rank 5 Mage title, Inferno. Players can summon a phoenix to fly over the battlefield that rains down fire, destroying siege weapons and other structures

Warlander combatants have finished over 400,000 battles on Steam so far - slaying over one million players in the process.
