Description

Mix up your fitness routine by blasting away enemies with every sprint! Run Legends is an interactive fitness game designed to fit into your workout plan and schedule. In less than 15 minutes per mission, you can conquer the VOID with the power of intervals, at YOUR own pace. You'll work up a sweat, and the Sappers won't know what hit them.

Run Legends is the first-ever cooperative fitness game that you can play synchronously with your friends, no matter where they are in the world. Your movement controls your character: head outside and unleash skills in battle by moving faster and slower.

FEATURES

Walk or run in the real world to play! Set your own pace and tailor the gameplay to your fitness level.

Match with real players around the world to participate in short 5-15 minute PvE cooperative missions!

Step up your cardio with gameplay mechanics inspired by high-intensity interval training.

Level up to unlock rewards and new missions.

See how you stack up against other players in leaderboards and Events!

Upgrade and craft new varieties of Gear - each piece of Gear is tailored to a different style of movement!

A virtual announcer called the Operator will call out your team’s actions and accomplishments through an immersive Spatial Audio system that reacts to your gameplay.
