Chivalry II is a multiplayer first-person slasher inspired by epic medieval movie battles. Players are thrust into the action of every iconic moment of the era –from clashing swords, to storms of flaming arrows, sprawling castle sieges, and more. Dominate massive battlefields while catapults tear the earth apart as players lay siege to castles, set fire to villages, and slaughter filthy peasants in the return of Team Objective maps.

Improving on the original genre-defining Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, Chivalry II invites players to master the blade with an all-new and improved combat system that combines real-time strikes and a free-flowing combo system to speed up the action and let players become a whirlwind of steel on the battlefield.

Created with the ability to fight multiple foes in mind, Chivalry II’s combat mixes the best of both FPS and fighting game genres for an unmatched melee experience.

Greetings everyone – we have an update to share regarding Chivalry II’s development.

Chivalry II will now be launching in 2021 with simultaneous releases on PC (Epic Games Store), Xbox One, Xbox One Series X, PS4 and PS5.

We believe this updated timeline is necessary to allow Chivalry II to be the greatest game it can be, and one that realizes our vision of a “true sequel” to the original Chivalry: Medieval Warfare.

As we settle in to working together in new ways in a COVID-19 world, our development timelines are shifting to utilize this additional time to better meet our core goals for Chivalry II, as well as allowing us to incorporate several quality of life improvements and also include what was originally post-launch content, in the release.

This means more maps and game features will be playable at launch than we had originally scoped. Horses however will be coming to Chivalry II after launch. They need a bit more time in the training stables.

In the meantime, the Chivalry II development team is hard at work on the latest Closed Alpha build, which is still under a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) for all testers. The most recent Alpha stage was Round 6 — and we are scheduled to continue the Alpha for more rounds before the first public Beta begins. This means we can continue to gather critical feedback on the game, send out more invites, and have more time to iterate based on direct community input.

This delay does mean that the previously-planned Summer beta will now begin at a later date. This date will be announced at this very location in the future. While we can’t share specific dates or details for the upcoming beta programs and a final launch date just yet, stay tuned. More information will be coming soon.

In the meantime, we invite everyone to join the Discord – now at over 13,000 members – and sign up for the Alpha if you want to help fine-tune Chivalry II before upcoming public beta phases and launch.

Key Features:

• Cross-Play Across All Platforms: Mass-scale battles call for epic battlefields. The inclusion of Cross-Play across all versions smashes the boundaries between PC and console gamers, and allows players to face off on the battlefield together, regardless of platform.
• Stunning Cinematic Presentation: Massive improvement in visual quality, with an atmosphere that thrusts players into their favorite moments from epic medieval Hollywood action films. Brought to you on the latest and best game engine, Unreal Engine 4.
• Epic Medieval Environments: Sprawling medieval environments ranging from tournament grounds to epic full-scale castle sieges.
• Massive Scale: Experience the chaos of epic medieval battlefields and battle through mass-scale combat meant to capture the intensity and scope of "The Battle of the Bastards" from Game of Thrones.
• Choose your Fighting Style: Your arsenal expands with the new subclass system that provides more variety than ever before. Four base classes expand to various subclasses, an arsenal of unique weapons each with multiple visual variants, and new support items ranging from oil pots to barricades, supply crates and archer’s stakes.
• Unleash Hell: Own the field with a variety of heavy siege engines including Ballistae, Catapults, Trebuchet, Battering Rams, Mantlets, Spike Traps, Ladders and more.
• Build your hero: Become a hero and look the part. A detailed customization system adds huge variety: head type, skin tone, head & facial hair + colors, facial imperfections, face paint, nicknames, heraldry, helmets, armor, weapons, and more for millions of possible combinations.
• Refuse to Die: Keep fighting after losing a limb, being knocked down, disarmed, set on fire, filled with arrows, your shield broken, smothered in blood and still throwing punches from your knees. Bandages, revives and the new downed state allow you to support teammates and stay in the action until you've bled your last drop.

Chivalry II will be releasing on the PS4, Xbox One and PC (via the Epic Games Store), as well as PS5 and Xbox Series X in 2021.
