Press release:
MONTREAL, Quebec — February 24, 2026 – Artifice Studio, the Montreal-based independent developer behind critically acclaimed Sang-Froid: Tales of Werewolves, is proud to announce that its highly anticipated turn-based RPG, Legends of the Round Table, will officially launch on PC via Steam on March 31, 2026, at 1:00 PM EST. It brings a bold new vision to one of the most enduring mythologies in literary history.

Inspired by the timeless legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, Legends of the Round Table reimagines the classic tale for a modern audience. Players will be transported into a richly detailed world of honor, magic and romance.

A Modern Take on Strategy and Legend
Designed for fans of deep tactical progression and immersive storytelling, Legends of the Round Table focuses on high-stakes gameplay loop where every decision carries weight. Key features include:

Chivalric Tactical Combat: Experience a unique turn-based system where every skirmish carries the weight of history. From thunderous mounted charges to tense one-on-one duels, combat is high-stakes and unforgiving; featuring permanent loss, squire management and a focus on the true code of honor.

A Living Medieval Manuscript: Immerse yourself in a world meticulously hand-painted to evoke 13th-century illuminated manuscripts. This striking visual direction is paired with an authentic period soundtrack featuring live performances on lutes and harps, highlighted by the haunting vocals of Anne Azéma (The Boston Camerata).

Consequential, Narrative-Driven Quests: Navigate a web of intrigue, romance, and moral ambiguity. Every decision, from judging a traitor to pursuing forbidden love, shapes your Round Table and defines your lasting legacy through story-rich branching paths.

Dynamic Knight Management: Lead a roster of icons including Lancelot, Gawain and King Arthur himself. Beyond simple stats, these knights possess evolving traits and personal motivations. Witness their full lifecycles as they age, triumph and eventually face death, leaving their mark on the Round Table forever.

From the Director
“With Legends of the Round Table”, we wanted to move away from the typical RPG power fantasy and instead focus on the medieval ideals of knights driven by honor and moral duty,” says Yan Pepin, Director at Artifice Studio. “Our team in Quebec has poured years into crafting a turn-based experience where every aspect of the adventures are deeply rooted in the chivalric code of honor that guided these epics. We are incredibly excited to finally witness players creating their own take on the Arthurian Legends.”

Legends of the Round Table will be available for digital purchase on Steam beginning March 31, 2026. In a commitment to delivering a complete, day-one experience for all players, Artifice Studio has confirmed there will be no pre-order window; the game will go live for direct purchase at the launch time of 1:00 PM EST.
