  • Green plains around the village of Rokento: where every journey starts.
  • Dunes, cracked earth and mirages. Two desert villages and two obelisks.
  • Snow, icy mountains and cold winds. Three towns and two obelisks.
  • Reed marshes, peat and mist. Three villages, three obelisks - and the Sage.
  • Six islands of the ocean ring, three towns on each. Poteko holds the obelisk.
  • Three floating mountain lands above the sea. Villages, and an obelisk on each.
  • Open water: walk it with a sea serpent or fly it with a giant eagle.

    Updates from the world of Newborn.

    Checking the live version…

    YOUR JOURNEY STARTS HERE

    More than a destination. A life to build.

    An isometric 3D RPG with persistent characters, changing weather, towns, quests, and adventures beyond the village gates.

    01 /

    Explore the unknown

    Travel from the plains to icy castles and underground caverns. Discover hidden places and take on the stories of their inhabitants.

    02 /

    Shape your character

    Customize your human adventurer. Develop weapon skills, use magic, mine ore, cook meals, and choose your equipment.

    03 /

    Adventure together

    Meet other players, form a fellowship, and face dangerous creatures together. Your progress is saved as your journey continues.

    BEYOND THE TOWN GATES

    Know what waits in the wild.

    Meet two of Newborn's enemies, shown as their current in-game 3D models.

    Loading 3D model...

    GOBLIN RAIDERS

    Taller. Cunning. Dangerous in packs.

    Hooded raiders roam the Rokento plains, Goblin Cavern and Sovien Desert. Small pointed ears with a gold hoop in each lobe, sharp teeth and weathered leather mark these opportunistic fighters. Many wear armour or fine clothes, and those with bows, slings and staves fight from a distance (see the goblin kits below). Watch the weapon in their hand: every blow is a full-body lunge.

    THE SKELETON LEGION

    Once human. Still armed.

    Cursed warriors haunt crypts, dungeons and the frozen lands. Their exposed bones carry dark armour and torn burgundy cloth. Defeated skeletons drop the Legion weapon they were carrying; pick it up and wield it yourself.

    Learn Restore Humanity at Rokento's temple to redeem good-hearted undead. Evil or neutral skeletons must be defeated.

    In-game 3D model · Grade 18 attack pose

    GOBLIN KITS

    No two goblin raiders dress alike.

    Every goblin spawns in a kit of its own: plain rags, fine clothes, or metal armour fitted to its level, with the weapon and shield that go with it. Pick a kit to turn it around in 3D, exactly as the game builds it.

    Loading 3D model...

    ARMOUR · LEVELS 0 TO 7

    Studded leather.

    The common raider. A quilted leather jerkin studded with iron, a studded pauldron and cap with a nose guard, and a round Coppo Metal Shield braced with copper. It carries a steel short sword, long sword, flanged mace or battle axe.

    ARMOUR · LEVELS 8 TO 19

    Chain mail.

    A mail hauberk and coif under a steel cap with a nose guard, steel vambraces and greaves, and a polished Silvo Shield. It carries a tempered steel blade, mace or battle axe.

    ARMOUR · LEVEL 20 AND UP

    Full plate.

    A ridged breastplate, layered pauldrons, tassets, spiked knee cops and a crested bascinet, with a Combonium kite shield. It carries a tempered steel long sword, flanged mace or battle axe.

    CLOTHES · CASTS FROM A DISTANCE

    Fancy.

    A plum velvet doublet with a lace jabot, slashed puffed sleeves, a crimson sash, a velvet cloak, a plumed beret and a monocle. It carries a wand or crystal staff and throws bolts of magic from up to nine paces.

    CLOTHES · CLOSES IN QUIETLY

    Assassin.

    A black leather harness of throwing knives, a deep pointed cowl, a tattered cloak, a crimson sash and a blade strapped to one wrist. It fights with a dagger or short sword.

    CLOTHES · SHOOTS FROM A DISTANCE

    Hunting.

    A laced leather jerkin, a fur mantle, a feathered green cap, a quiver of arrows and a hare hung at the belt. Its longbow looses arrows from up to ten paces.

    CLOTHES · SLINGS FROM A DISTANCE

    Stealthy.

    A moss-green hood and mantle hung with strips of cloth, camouflage patches, dark paint on the cheeks and wrapped feet. It slings stones from up to eight paces, and sometimes draws a dagger instead.

    About one goblin in ten stays in plain rags. Bosses, tinted goblins and the Ninja Goblins keep their own looks. Armour is fitted to a goblin's level and its shield can be taken from its body.

    Quests and storylines

    Current quest content: 47 distinct named quests (39 story quests and 8 combat/exploration quests). The source contains 48 quest entries: the two character-specific Compassion variants count as one named quest. Availability depends on character, level and prerequisites; this is a game-wide count, not a promise that every quest is available to every character immediately.

    Story adventures include The Hollow Crown, The Prowling Zombie, Power of the Crimson Reach, the fellowship quest for Omnique's red dragon, and The Woodsman's Trade, which takes you through felling leaf trees of eight colours to your first carved staff, step by step.

    Counted from the game's own files for this version, so the figures move whenever the game does. A "system" is an area of the game with its own development grade; an "improvement" is one player-facing entry in the release notes, so a fix counts as one and so does a new feature.

    Current system grades

    Development disclaimer — version 4.94.0, build 20261110.210, Covenant of Light Edition.

    Newborn develops through upgrades to individual system grades and the addition of quests. Grades describe internal development stages, not character levels, age ratings or independent quality scores. Different systems advance separately; future grades and quests are not promised on a fixed schedule.
