Rune II publisher didn’t know developer Human Head was closing

Earlier today, GamesBeat reported that Rune II developer Human Head has shut down. The team is moving on to a new studio called Roundhouse as part of publisher Bethesda Softworks. That closure shrouded the future of Rune II with uncertainty. Now, Ragnarok Game LLC, the company that is publishing Rune II, is promising that it will continue to support the game, which debuted on Epic Games Store earlier this week. Additionally, Ragnarok insists that it had no idea that Human Head was shutting down.

“Yesterday, we successfully launched Rune II onto the Epic Games Store and the game’s demand has exceeded our expectations,” the Ragnarok team said in a statement. “First and foremost: We love this game, and we will continue to support Rune II.”
