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.

Developer Torn Banner Studios, publisher Tripwire Presents, and global retail publishing partner Deep Silver are proud to announce that Chivalry II has sold over 1 million units worldwide since launching on June 8, 2021

This incredible sales milestone marks the first million-unit selling title for publisher, Tripwire Presents, and takes the throne as developer Torn Banner’s fastest selling title, ever. This news follows the release of the House Galencourt update, the first in a series of planned free content updates, introducing two new maps, a brand-new 3-versus-3 gameplay mode, the return of the popular arrow camera feature from the original Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, over 60 customization options, and more.

The Chivalry II community has been active and growing following the title’s launch, with over 8 million hours of playtime logged and over 420 million combatants killed in battle. To-date the most popular subclass amongst players is the Officer and the most popular weapon is of course, the mighty Messer.

“Despite just launching in June, over a million people across five platforms have already played Chivalry II, which tells us how much more potential the game has to grow,” said Steve Piggott, President of Torn Banner Studios. “We are so happy to have brought Chivalry II’s unique experience of bloody, epic medieval warfare to so many people - and we’re already hard at work expanding the game much, much more.”

"Today we're thrilled to celebrate the amazing milestone of Chivalry II selling over one million units in less than two months!" said John Gibson, Tripwire CEO. "We've been blown away by the response from players and critics alike, and the team is already hard at work on more great free content and adding highly requested features such as cross-platform parties."

  • 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.
