Darkfall Unholy Wars was a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by Aventurine SA. It was announced on 18 September[1] and is a sequel to Darkfall. It is a PvP MMORPG where players are encouraged to form clans and battle for dominance across Agon, the fantasy world in which the game takes place.

The initial launch date was 20 November 2012, but it was postponed.[2]

On 28 November 2012, Darkfall Unholy Wars was submitted on Steam Greenlight. Two days later, the game was greenlit by the community.[3]

On 11 December, Aventurine announced another launch delay due several internal and external factors.[4] Instead of commercial release, the company decided to offer beta access to all customers who would pre-order the game.[5] After a lengthy 5-month beta, the game was released on 16 April 2013.[6]

Game service was discontinued at the end of May, 2016.[7]
