Warhaven Celebrates Steam Next Fest Success and Closes The Battlefield Gates… Until Fall 2023
Posted June 28, 2023Seoul, South Korea, June 28th, 2023 — The dust has settled on Warhaven’s highly successful 8-day Steam Next Fest demo. From June 18th to 26th, players had the chance to preview Nexon’s upcoming 16 vs. 16 medieval fantasy brawler during the popular Steam event. This was the first opportunity for the wider community to join the battle since the Global Open Beta last October, and their last opportunity before Warhaven’s Early Access launch this Fall.
The Next Fest demo saw over 100,000 active players step onto the battlefields of Herarth over the course of Steam’s tri-annual event, with Warhaven securing the #1 position for Daily Active Demo Players, #2 for Highest Concurrent Users, and #3 for Top Demos by Unique Players. By Next Fest’s conclusion, Warhaven placed 7th in Most Wishlisted Upcoming Games, seeing the largest increase in Steam followers, with over 3,700 new users during the event.
“We can’t thank our fans enough for the support over the last few weeks. Warhaven was ranked outside of the top 100 on the Steam Wishlist in May, but quickly rose into the top 60 after June’s game showcases and the Steam Next Fest demo, which was well-received by the gamers and influencers who played it,” said Warhaven’s game director Eun-seok Lee. “We're excited to see what the future holds for the Early Access launch as we continue to make improvements and enhancements to the game.”
Since October’s Global Open Beta, Nexon has already committed to improvements and additions to Warhaven. The Steam Next Fest demo introduced updated mechanics, new maps and game modes, including a tutorial mode, practice battlefield, and the new Skirmish map, ‘Sihan’, in-game events, and the chance to play Warhaven’s latest addition to the Warhaven soldier roster, Hush, the swift and silent assassin.
Warhaven is set to release on Windows PC via Steam in Fall 2023. Don't forget to add it to your wishlist via the game's Steam page.
