Sydney, June 17, 2025 – RDBK Studios has unveiled a brand-new cinematic teaser for Renown, their ambitious medieval PvP survival builder that challenges players to gather resources, construct vast castles, and lead their clan into battle against rival players. With skill-based combat and deep customisation, everything in Renown’s world is up for grabs.
Renown invites up to 100 players per server to engage in a relentless battle for power. Players must prove their strength through engineering siege weaponry to breach enemy defenses, participating in tense one-on-one combat, and mobilizing allies to overcome rival factions. Deep customisation options also offer players the ability to fully modify their armour and weapons with unique patterns, emblems, skins, and colours for distinct visual identities.
From modest beginnings to grand strongholds, Renown seamlessly blends open-world survival and crafting with tactical, skill-driven medieval warfare. Players can arm themselves with an array of period weapons and armour as they charge into combat, seizing control of key locations or laying siege to enemy fortresses. One precise strike, or one fatal mistake, can shift the course of a battle.
“Renown truly is inspired by our favorite games and is our own special take on Chivarly’s combat placed into the fast paced PvP world of Rust," says Jesse Jacobson, Co-Founder of RDBK.
Slated for Early Access in Q3 this year, Renown has recently launched its Open Playtest, giving backers the chance to dive into the game’s brutal siege mechanics, with more community playtests coming soon. Fully funded on Kickstarter in May 2024, Renown is now among Steam’s most wishlisted survival builders. For more information, visit the official Discord community.
