Forget Modern Combat, Modern Warfare or Advanced Warfare for that matter – here is Medieval Warfare!
Today Activision announced that Chivalry: Medieval Warfare will making its way to the PS3 and Xbox 360. Activision is working with Torn Banner Studios in collaboration with Mercenary Technology to bring the beloved PC title Chivalry: Medieval Warfare to consoles for the very first time. The game has been refined for consoles and will bring the 12 player online title to consoles for the first time.
Critically praised and battle-tested experience on PC, selling over two million units, Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is a fast-paced online multiplayer action game which will have players turning in their guns and grenades for battle axes and swords. Chivalry: Medieval Warfarecombines a sharp melee edge and familiar competitive gameplay along with the genuine look and feel of open-field combat in the Middle Ages. Players can choose between one of four classes – Knight, Vanguard, Man-at-Arms and Archer – each balanced to offer a unique set of strengths and vulnerabilities in any given situation. An extensive armory of more than sixty period-authentic weapons, including swords, shields, daggers, maces, axes, javelins, longbows and crossbows, delivers deadly choices for decimating foes.
For those of you who think that the melee combat in Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is just hack and slash – hold your horses, says Activision. So what is it that is different about this game? Players can use different attacks, blocks and counters insuring that combat is tactical, responsive and of course chaotic. Sounds fun so far you think? There’s more. Players will fight in a variety of inspired medieval environments and scenarios and can (and will!) raid peasant villages, burn crops, siege castles, defend the royal family, or fight to the last man in a gladiatorial arena. Medieval Warfare will feature multiple modes and provide opportunities to fight as a team for the greater glory of the realm, or for personal honor in duels to the death.
That game is set to launch ‘later this year’ s0 keep your eyes peeled. Check out the box art and some screens below!
