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 and publisher Tripwire Presents announced that Chivalry II will launch on Steam starting June 12, 2022.
The Steam version of the game will have immediate parity with all other versions, containing all game updates released to date, and the same content as every platform. To celebrate this tremendous occasion, Chivalry 2 players can also look forward to the release of the Tenosian Invasion update across all supported platforms day-and-date with the title’s Steam debut on June 12.
