Do you remember Gloria Victis? It was talked about in the MMORPG circles for a bit, but crashed and burned relatively quickly. Eventually, the title was shuttered, much to the dismay of its small yet cult following. But that’s changing now, thanks in no small part to gamigo, the renowned MMO publisher. Gamigo purchased the rights to the medieval MMORPG Gloria Victis, and now it’s relaunching as a free-to-play title!
If you don’t know what Gloria Victis is, why should you care?
Gloria Victis is an open-world medieval MMORPG in a low-fantasy setting, which means you won’t find elves or orcs here. Instead, the game focuses on realism. You’ll experience non-target combat and PvP, faction territory control, a deep crafting system, a player-driven economy, and a dynamic, living world that changes as players leave their mark.
What to Expect From Gloria Victis’ Relaunch
- Challenging Territory Control: Conquer land, siege non-instanced towns and castles, and build advantageous fortifications in the everlasting conflict of the realms. You decide which of the three nations you will strengthen and lead to glory. Fortify your castle to assert dominance over your opponents – fierce battles await you!
- Non-Target Combat & Epic PVP: Engage in skill-based, action-driven combat where timing, tactics, and precision determine victory. Show your warrior spirit and earn fame as an undefeatable duelist, eagle-eyed archer, or battlefield commander rallying your soldiers to triumph.
- Player-driven Economy: Scour the world for the best materials, hunt for wild, unique beasts protecting their nests, and capture key resource nodes. Use workstations to craft high-quality items, and cooperate with others to increase your efficiency and achieve mastery in five distinct crafts. Cultivate crops, protect your harvest, tend to your farm animals, and defend your livelihood from rival players.
- Innovative Partial Loot System: In designated high-risk zones, defeat enemies and choose exactly which items to claim — but act quickly, as time is limited. Will you embrace danger to reap greater rewards, or pursue safer routes to build your fortune? The choice is always yours.
- Brick-by-brick Guild Castle Construction: One of the biggest and most impactful systems of Gloria Victis is the Free Building system. It lets you build your own, unique castle from scratch. You decide its personality. Are you going to build a stronghold with sturdy, multi-layer walls, or an outpost with a strong emphasis on guild technology progression? Every guild owning a guild province has access to pre-made constructions that require resources, which you gather only in the open world.
