Years after its last update, Realm Royale never ceased to have a unique aura, a devoted active community and a special place in veterans’ hearts, full of cherished memories. Hi-Rez decided to put up a team of passionate experts tasked with reciprocating the community’s love. They have revamped, reworked, and restored – and they bring Realm Royale Reforged, previously unannounced, the first of many major updates to come.
Realm Royale Reforged is available on all existing platforms—PC (Steam), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, and Nintendo Switch—and now also on Epic Games Store.
About Realm Royale
|
In Realm Royale, players choose a class – Warrior, Mage, Hunter, or Assassin – then dive into battle and start looting powerful weapons and abilities. As players fight to survive, they’ll mount up to escape the fog on horseback, craft game-changing weapons at forges, and maybe even get turned into a chicken as they pursue the coveted Crown Royale. Realm Royale took the gaming world by storm in 2018, welcoming over two million players just in its first week. |

Hi-Rez Thor, Lead Designer for Realm Royale Reforged, says:
“To build Realm Royale Reforged’s foundations, we looked to the past for inspiration, the present for guidance, and the future for hope. Our team consists of a group of talented developers that worked together to bring back iconic features of old school Realm while introducing new abilities and weapons to keep things fresh. Join us as we continue reforging Realm Royale and push class-based battle royale to new heights.”
Classes That Shape Matches
Because every piece of new content aims to give fans what they want, Realm Royale Reforged reinstates a meaningful class-based gameplay and ensures class identity is stronger than ever. Most abilities and weapons are now class-specific – only Warriors will wield the menacing Throwing Axe, Mages can cast iconic Fireballs, Hunters are the only ones knowing how the new Grappling Hook works, and Assassins can trick enemies with a Decoy. As a brand-new feature, Class Chests guarantee you will loot items tied to your class.
Hoarding Armor
Once a defining gameplay trait, armor is also back by popular demand. Helmets, Breastplates, Gauntlets, and Greaves can once more be looted and crafted at Forges. They come in different rarities that give increasing damage absorption plus various buffs. Armor is a coveted reward found from exploring the vibrant world of Realm Royale Reforged – it can make or break a victory.
Six Free Bundles & New Cosmetics
All veterans will receive a special gift, the OG Bundle, unlocking 4 Class Skins and Avatars, a Chicken Skin, a Loading Screen, and a Spray. Starting today, the bundle is automatically gifted to anyone who has played Realm Royale, as soon as they log-in again.
Free as well in the in-game shop for a limited time, the Reforged Bundle unlocks new shiny cosmetics, including the Phoenix Chicken Skin and Skydive Skin, plus several community-made Sprays and Avatars.
What’s more, platform-specific bundles are out and also free on Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation, and Xbox. Those include cosmetics picked among the most popular ones, such as Lucy-Purr and Bokserker Chicken Skins. Nogard the Dragon Mount Skin, Death’s Edge Assassin Skin, Khale the Divine Mage Skin, and many more.
More New Features All Around
Five new abilities have been designed, including the capacity to Enrage for Warriors and the universal Lightfoot Potion for increased mobility. Weapons have been improved and the map made more attractive, while the Underpass Forge has reopened. There is even a dragon circling in the sky – but don’t let it distract you from the fight! From a technical standpoint, major server improvements now bring demonstrably smoother games, and some pesky bugs flagged by the community have been fixed.
A revamp of gameplay customizations is making Realm Royale Reforged more accessible than ever, with everything available from the get-go, where time investment was previously needed. Loadouts now allow players to determine the first items that they will Forge, depending on the class they are playing.
Realm Royale’s iconic chickens are unanimously adored, and they are back just as bouncy as before! Out of health players turn into a (nearly) harmless chicken. As poultry, you hop around, try to hide, and can even attempt beak attacks. Surviving long enough will turn you back into a human – with a thirst for revenge.
