Warhaven will be available to play for free for the duration of Steam Next Fest (June 19 - 26), during which Nexon will host various events, including a live stream with the director of Warhaven, Eunseok Yi, where he will share the game's development process and future roadmap.

Players last experienced the visceral combat of Warhaven during the global open beta in October of 2022.

The Steam Next Fest version of the game has been refined to provide a more enjoyable, stress-free experience. The game still offers the same brutal pleasures of melee combat, but now with increased movement and combat speeds for more exciting gameplay. Beginners will also appreciate the addition of new tutorials, UI, camera angles, and controls to make the game easier to learn. Players can also look forward to new content in the form of a new capture mode and a new map, "Sihan", which features a volcanic landscape. In addition, players will be introduced to a new character, "Hush", a nimble assassin who specializes in disrupting the enemy's strategies.

Eunseok Yi expresses his excitement about the upcoming demo version of the game which will be available during Steam Next Fest saying, "We are thrilled to be able to showcase an early look at Warhaven ahead of our Early Access launch later this year to all those who have been eagerly waiting for it. We have worked hard to make sure the demo available at Steam Next Fest is a fun experience for all players."
