Evaluation

Runes of Magic is a classic free-to-play massively multiplayer RPG that has been operating on Steam since August 29, 2018. The game is designed as an ongoing live service — it features a continuously rotating calendar of seasonal and themed events rather than a traditional content development arc with a defined end point. As recently as June 2, 2026, the publisher announced a Summer 2026 event season spanning multiple weeks, including boost events, custom events, and supply gathering activities. Earlier in 2026, Spring and Easter events were announced for April 1–16. The game remains actively available and is receiving regular seasonal programming. All three DLC packs listed are starter/welcome bundles that released alongside the Steam launch in 2018 and are fully available.
