As an avid gamer with a penchant for immersive, story-driven RPGs and a soft spot for games that delve deep into mythology, the announcement of “Legends of Awen: Rise of the Fianna” has stirred my heartstrings like the haunting melodies of a bard’s lute. The tantalizing blend of Celtic lore, classless character creation, and romanceable companions is a recipe that promises an epic journey through a richly detailed medieval-fantasy world.
The French studio Hawkswell has unveiled a PC (Steam) RPG titled Legends of Awen: Rise of the Fianna, which is inspired by Celtic themes. No launch date has been provided yet. In the first quarter of 2025, a crowdfunding campaign will likely commence to enhance the variety of player choices and the extent and significance of their consequences compared to the initial plan.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

Key Features
- Classless Character Creation – The Fianna are trained in the ways of the Bard, the Druid and the Warrior. If your Companions are more inclined to follow one of these paths, you can fully customize Finn by mixing and matching them, accessing to a wide range of skills and abilities.
- Non-Violent Encounter Resolution – When conflicts arise and combat seems to be the unavoidable outcome, the game shifts from real-time exploration to turn-based Encounter Mode, played out on a tactical grid. Depending on your own gameplay style, you can let your weapons and spells speak for you and take advantage by a strategic use of the environment, or you can de-escalate violence by combining specific character traits, non-lethal skills, and dialogue opportunities conditioned by your past actions.
- Romanceable Companions – Forge strong bonds of friendship and engage in romance with unique companions, each with their own secrets, goals, and moral compass. Your relationships with them will weight heavily on the many decisions you make on your journey, as they may not always agree with you and could even leave your party.
- Choices and Consequences – Inspired by the tabletop RPGs, we wish to emphasize the “Role” in RPG and provide you with meaningful and impactful choices. Starting from character creation, all your actions and decisions will build your Reputation and have far-reaching consequences. NPCs will notice and remember. Make your choices, and watch the world around you react to them.
