Evaluation

Gloria Victis has had an extraordinary history. The original studio announced in August 2023 that the game was shutting down, and servers closed on October 31, 2023. That appeared to be the end of the game entirely. In February 2026, publisher gamigo announced they were relaunching Gloria Victis as a free-to-play MMORPG, reversing the closure. After a period of closed and open beta testing, the game officially relaunched on June 17, 2026 as the "Season of the Phoenix," accompanied by a major update (V1.5.0), four new DLC packs, and a new monetized premium pass system (Patronus Nobilis). Since launch, the developer has maintained a consistent weekly update cadence. A second Glory Season — the Season of War — launched on July 30, 2026, accompanied by a full server merge to consolidate regional player populations. The State of War guild warfare feature was formally reintroduced on August 19, 2026, with the developer explicitly stating it will "continue to evolve" based on community feedback and live battle data. A South American regional server was also brought back in response to player demand. The game is structured as a free-to-play MMORPG with ongoing seasons (each roughly two months long), guild progression systems, territory control, and a monetized premium pass — all features of a game designed to run and evolve indefinitely. Developer communications as recently as August 13, 2026 confirm that development is ongoing, with balance updates, new battle sizes, and additional quality-of-life improvements actively planned. This is not a game that is meant to reach a "finished" state.

About this game

Gloria Victis – A medieval MMORPG where Mount & Blade meets Planetside 2! Explore a breathtaking and atmospheric open world designed by lovers of the Witcher and Gothic series. Be part of a living society and become a soldier, knight, archer, assassin, swordmaster, berserker, huntsman, blacksmith, builder, merchant, farmer, healer, and more... the choice is yours!

FEATURES:

Non-Target Combat & Epic PVP

Engage in action-based, non-target combat where your skills and tactics matter! Show your warrior spirit and earn fame as an undefeatable duelist, eagle-eyed archer, or respected commander inspiring your allies in battle. Compete for territory in the open world, and fight to the death in tournaments, castle sieges, and epic wars where entire armies collide!

Challenging Territory Control

Conquer land, siege non-instanced towns and castles and build advantageous fortifications in the everlasting conflict of the realms. Fight for glory in one of three nations or claim a castle for your guild and rule your lands!

Innovative Partial Loot System

Be brave when waging wars and battling over castles, but beware when venturing into the lion’s den. In the centre of the mainland, the risk and rewards become much higher. In certain places on the map, you’ll be able to loot defeated enemies and take your reward by selecting which specific items you will loot – but hurry, the clock is ticking! Are you good enough to succeed there? Or would you rather choose less risky ways to gain your wealth? It's all up to you!

Player-driven Economy

Look for the best resources and materials out in the world, and capture resource nodes. Use workstations to craft high-quality items, and cooperate with others to increase your efficiency and achieve mastery in one of 8 different realistic crafts. Plant your own seeds, tend your crops, and keep them safe from pillaging enemies! The economy is in your hands – swords don’t drop from wolves, they are forged by blacksmiths!

Class-less Progression

Become who you want to be! Build your character without artificial classes, and fully customize your equipment using hundreds of available items!

Forge Your Legend

Establish your reputation and move up the feudal hierarchy, leading your allies to victory under your guild’s banner. Mark your way to the top with the blood of your enemies – become a hero and make them fear you!

Living Open World

Seamless, breathtaking, challenging, dynamically reacting to your actions – the massive and diversified world of Gloria Victis awaits you!

Freedom

Explore the vast world and face various challenges – go solo and complete quests, or group up and take part in massive PVE events including open-world dungeons! Or, gather materials and focus on crafting and trading. Or, leave it all behind and unleash your warrior spirit in huge PVP battles. The choice is yours!

Low-fantasy Setting

Explore lands inspired by medieval Europe including frosted mountaintops, deep forests, swamps, ruins, and rocky, arid plateaus. Discover ancient secrets, seek forgotten treasures, and face mythical creatures inspired by medieval tales!
