Founder’s Vision “Runeborn is an ode to the last 10 years we’ve spent developing free-to-play slots and puzzle games,” said Jacob Duhaime, founder and CEO of iDream Interactive. “We set out to break the traditional slots mold and create a game that combines the thrill of deckbuilding with skill-based gameplay. Runeborn gives players control over randomness—a concept inspired by the likes of Balatro and Luck Be a Landlord. This game is the culmination of years of iteration and passion, and we’re beyond excited to share it with the world.”
Runeborn enters Early Access on October 9 with a base price of $13.99 | €13,99 | £11,99.
Supported languages at launch include: English, French, German, Spanish (EU), Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
