Remember sinking countless hours into classic browser MMORPGs back in the day? If you spent any part of the mid-2000s grinding away in web-based fantasy worlds, you might be thrilled to hear that Hunted Cow Games is stepping back into the spotlight with Fallen Sword 2. The upcoming title is officially aiming to revive that classic magic for modern players, and things are finally starting to heat up with a fresh look at the game.
For those who need a quick refresher on where this journey started, the original Fallen Sword made its debut all the way back in 2006. It built a dedicated following as a browser-based MMORPG known for its strategic, turn-based combat. Fast forward to the beginning of this year, and Hunted Cow Games surprised the community by revealing Fallen Sword II, positioning it directly as a self-described "spiritual successor" to their classic hit.
Since that initial reveal at the top of the year, news around the project has been relatively quiet. We have seen a few developer blogs scattered across the months to keep eager fans in the loop, but actual visual reveals and major milestones have been few and far between. If you were starting to wonder when we would finally see tangible progress on the project, you are definitely not alone.
Thankfully, that quiet period seems to be coming to an end. The team has just released a brand-new teaser trailer for Fallen Sword 2, giving everyone a much-needed peek at the turn-based MMO in action. Even better than just a fresh video, the new tease brings exciting news for players wanting to get their hands on the experience: Hunted Cow Games is hinting at upcoming testing kicking off as soon as next month.
Having a testing phase potentially right around the corner next month is a massive step forward for a spiritual successor that has been quietly cooking throughout the year. For fans of turn-based MMORPG combat who loved the original 2006 browser adventure, this upcoming test could be the very first chance to see how the classic formula translates today.
We will be keeping our eyes peeled for more details as we get closer to next month and learn more about how testing will roll out. Did you play the original Fallen Sword back in 2006, and will you be jumping into the testing phase for Fallen Sword 2 next month? Let us know what you think!
