How it plays

Fight like a god.

Carry your momentum into combat. Turn your god's power into an opening.

Momentum is power

Running, sliding, wall-kicking and mantling chain into one another. Carry your momentum from one move to the next and turn speed into an advantage.

02 Brawl

Close range, high commitment

Melee exchanges are decided by spacing, timing, and player velocity. Close the distance, predict the parry, and commit to your strikes.

03 Wield Power

The gods are sponsors

Thor, Loki, Njord and Hel each grant their Bound two distinct abilities. Lightning, magic, wind and the power of the dead give every contestant a different playstyle.
