Skip it if you…

Our take on Renown
The listing emphasizes castles, sieges, customization, and replayability, but extensive mod support is presented as a future plan. Community hosts have server tools now; the mod-support promise should not be read as a current feature.
What is Renown?
Renown is a medieval multiplayer survival game set in an open world.
Players hunt, gather resources, craft equipment, and build bases ranging from farms and camps to castles. They can play alone or join groups with systems for claims, titles, and ranks. Combat centers on skill-based melee using medieval weapons and armor, while siege engines can be used to attack rival strongholds. The game also features control points, player-versus-player raids, and customization through armor appearances, tabards, emblems, and colors. Server progression and wipe systems shape repeat play. Community hosts have tools to tailor their servers; extensive mod support is described as a future plan.
