YOUR JOURNEY STARTS HERE
An isometric 3D RPG with persistent characters, changing weather, towns, quests, and adventures beyond the village gates.
Travel from the plains to icy castles and underground caverns. Discover hidden places and take on the stories of their inhabitants.
Customize your human adventurer. Develop weapon skills, use magic, mine ore, cook meals, and choose your equipment.
Meet other players, form a fellowship, and face dangerous creatures together. Your progress is saved as your journey continues.
BEYOND THE TOWN GATES
Meet two of Newborn's enemies, shown as their current in-game 3D models.
GOBLIN RAIDERS
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.
In-game 3D model · Grade 18 attack poseTHE SKELETON LEGION
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 poseGOBLIN KITS
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.
ARMOUR · LEVELS 0 TO 7
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.

The counter starts when the first visit is recorded.
Each browser is counted once while its anonymous visitor cookie is retained. The total is saved on the server across restarts. Different browsers or devices, or clearing cookies, can count again; shared browsers count once. This estimates individual visitors, not verified people. Earlier untracked visits are excluded. No names or IP addresses are stored by this counter.
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.
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.
