IN DETAIL

Forging, runes and combat.

Forge your defense. Inscribe a rune. Withstand one more attack.

A collection for every adventure

Twelve craftable shields, each with its own silhouette and 3D model, give you more ways to build your gear. Choose the design that fits your character and carry it in either hand.

Power is forged at the altar

At the Nordic altar, a runestone becomes an ability inscribed into your shield. Prepare a defense for the way you play, then change its rune when you want to explore another effect.

A ritual that lives in the world

Place a shield and runestone at the altar to see both items within the structure as the ritual unfolds. Collect the imbued shield afterward. An illustrated guide explains the recipes and rune system in English and Spanish.

Clear feedback in combat

Indicators show shield durability and, when relevant, the charge of its inscribed ability. Visual effects make each activation clear without covering the action.

NextShield has a working build in testing. Its twelve shields and runic system continue to be refined.
