Evaluation

Six Ages: Ride Like the Wind launched on October 17, 2019 as a complete, standalone storybook strategy game. Following launch, the developer shipped several bug-fix patches through early 2020, but no additional story content or DLC was ever added to this title beyond the original soundtrack. The developer, A Sharp, confirmed the trajectory of the series in a May 2025 post: Six Ages 2: Lights Going Out (a separate sequel released in August 2023) was the follow-up to this game, and the studio has now moved on entirely to a new, unrelated project called Thousand Hells: The Underworld Heists. The developer explicitly stated they have "stepped away" from the Six Ages series to work on something different. The sequel (Six Ages 2) is a separate Steam product; this game (Ride Like the Wind) stands as its own complete experience. No future content has been announced or hinted at for this title, and the developer's own words confirm the series — and by extension this game's support cycle — has concluded.

Evidence

A Sharp formally announces Thousand Hells: The Underworld Heists, a new standalone game in a different setting. Six Ages 1 and 2 are put on sale as a celebration, reinforcing that the Six Ages series is complete.

Developer David Dunham explicitly states he has stepped away from Six Ages to work on a new, unrelated game (Thousand Hells). He says Six Ages 2 took nearly 5 years and describes moving on from the series entirely.

About this game

Life between myths. Lead your clan into legend or obscurity. Six Ages: Ride Like the Wind is a storybook strategy game, immersing you in a land of old gods and magic, the same world as King of Dragon Pass.

Hundreds of small encounters build into an epic, multi-generational tale of survival and inter-clan alliances. Six Ages is the spiritual successor to acclaimed King of Dragon Pass, taking place thousands of years earlier in the same shared world of Glorantha. Part role-playing, part resource management, you'll always be making decisions with long-term consequences, for you and your clan.

Please note the minimum system requirements for Windows is Windows 10!

Design your own clan, visit the gods, become respected, raid your neighbors' cows
Over 400 interactive story scenes, with deep simulation systems driving their appearance and outcomes
Multiple difficulty levels, and the option for Iron Willed players to limit reloading
Gorgeous hand-painted high-resolution illustrations
Same world as King of Dragon Pass, but a new clan: the Riders, with their own myths, and 4x more world to explore
Discover, appease, and make deals with spirits in your territory

Glorantha is a highly detailed Bronze Age world, similar in many ways to our own. But it exists in a magical universe where the laws of physics are subordinate to the whims of the gods and spirits. To understand Glorantha, leave our mundane world and enter the world of myth. The Sun is a living god, not a nearby star. Countless gods exist, some even more powerful than the Sun, and all have the power to directly affect humanity.

In Six Ages, you play specifically as a Riders clan, who revere various gods in their particular mythology, including Gamari the Horse Mother, and your culture hero, Hyalor... but you would be foolish to forget Raven the Trickster. He has not forgotten you.

Glorantha is also the setting of other rich narrative games/experiences, including King of Dragon Pass, HeroQuest, RuneQuest, God Wars, and others.
