The new RPG Everlast: Undying Tale was recently announced. The developers fully embrace old-school charm, drawing inspiration from RuneScape and Guild Wars. The first trailer reveals what this is supposed to look like.
What kind of role-playing game is it? Everlast: Undying Tale is a new RPG by indie developer InSpades. The game has been in development since 2024 and is set to be released in the second quarter of 2026 on Steam.
The developers make no secret of their inspiration. In a press release, they state that they have legendary titles Old School RuneScape and Guild Wars as role models and want to bring the best elements from them into the modern era.

What can players experience in the game? Everlast: Undying Tale does not shy away from prominently utilizing the elements of farming, crafting, and trading that have fallen into obscurity today as game mechanics. While many MMORPGs today focus more on PvP or raids, Everlast: Undying Tale takes a different approach.
As in Old School RuneScape, you are expected to pursue professions, craft items yourself, and engage in tactical battles against enemies. While the genre classics serve as models, they are not meant to limit Everlast: Undying Tale, which will also include its own innovative skills, such as performing occult rituals and exploring secrets in the world to enhance the gameplay experience.
When it comes to combat, the new RPG features an action combat system that will provide you with a variety of skills, and you cannot simply defeat enemies with the push of a button. Dodging, parrying, and blocking will play an important role in battles, while you can choose to fight as a melee or ranged combatant, or with magical attacks.
What does multiplayer look like? While the new RPG fully relies on quests, you should be able to play both alone and with friends or on a public server. There should also be a simple base building mechanic. Players should be able to consciously choose to play with others or to remain solo.
The number of players that can play together is expected to be “almost limitless,” the developers state in their description on Steam. However, how the system works regarding single and multiplayer is still unclear. The developers have confirmed in an email to MeinMMO that their game wants to orient itself more around Valheim regarding server structure and focuses on friend groups.
With 13 employees and a project start in 2024, the release of the RPG in the second quarter of 2026 seems very ambitious. How the developers plan to complete the game so quickly or whether the title will initially be released in early access remains to be seen. In the Old School RuneScape template, players still discover something new today: players have been farming for 2 years at a spot in an MMORPG, now finding the rarest item there, yet it is worthless
