A legendary tale of impossible challenges and true love rides forth. Artifice Studio has unveiled For Olwen’s Hand, the first story expansion for their stunning hand-painted Arthurian turn-based RPG Legends of the Round Table — and every owner gets it entirely free when it arrives December 10, 2026 on Steam.
INSPIRED BY ONE OF THE OLDEST WELSH TALES
This new adventure draws directly from Culhwch ac Olwen, one of the earliest and most enduring stories in the entire Arthurian canon — predating many of the legends we know today:
- Four knights from your company embark on a quest to win the hand of Olwen, daughter of the fearsome giant Ysbaddaden
- The giant father sets them a list of seemingly impossible tasks — slay the great boar Twrch Trwyth, recover lost treasures, defeat monsters, and overcome trials no ordinary mortal could hope to survive
- ~5 hours of fresh story, battles, and exploration await
- Every challenge branches and evolves, keeping the spirit of choice and consequence at the game’s heart
NEW MECHANICS, NOBLE DUTY
For Olwen’s Hand brings meaningful additions to the game’s celebrated turn-based combat:
- New combat mechanics tied to the unique foes and scenarios of this quest
- Face the boar Twrch Trwyth and his savage kin in battles that test your formation and tactics
- Confront Ysbaddaden himself — a foe unlike any knight you’ve faced
- All presented in the game’s signature visual style: hand-painted art created using authentic medieval manuscript techniques, with period-inspired music played on instruments from the era
A GIFT FOR THE FAITHFUL
From the start, Artifice Studio has built this game as a labour of love — and this expansion is their way of giving back:
- Free for all base-game owners — no extra purchase required
- Available December 10, 2026 on Steam for PC and Mac
- Follows the game’s March 2026 launch, which earned praise for its breathtaking art, thoughtful tactical combat, and deeply respectful approach to medieval folklore
THE ROUND TABLE AWAITS
Whether you’re returning to complete your knights’ saga or preparing to step into this vivid world for the first time, For Olwen’s Hand promises a journey as beautiful as it is dangerous — one that honours the ancient roots of Arthurian legend while carving its own path.
