'Conqueror's Blade' Collaborates With Swedish Metal Band Sabaton For In-Game Event - Trailer

by Rainier on Nov. 15, 2024 @ 3:00 a.m. PST

Combining both heroic action combat with tactical troop maneuvers, Conqueror's Blade allows players to experience authentic medieval warfare as they command fearsome armies.

Booming Games' proprietary engine, CHAOS, delivers a seamless experience, even with thousands of troops onscreen at once, as well as authentic effects, such as fire and explosions, and diverse weather events, including thunderstorms and sandstorms. Stunningly detailed graphics replicate the weapons, armor and equipment of actual medieval troops. The game requires strategic thinking and skillful use of resources, as players must deploy the best army for the battle at hand from a wide selection of both Eastern and Western Legions, powerful Generals, and thousands of weapons.  

Battles are fought in a vast sandbox landscape several thousand kilometers wide, where players seek to conquer lands and reign over their own Kingdom. Mirroring our own world the terrain features high mountains, deep rivers and fierce deserts, and populated by a variety of nations and cultures. Players may acquire territory to build their own House and Kingdom and fight to defend them.

Conqueror's Blade features Match PvP, Match PvE and Big World PvPvE. Match PvP features five different battles, including a 15v15 multi-stage siege offense vs defense skirmish where the offense must take the defense's flag by selecting from one or two established attack routes. In Death Match, 8v8 or 5v5 sides must kill more Generals before time runs out. Match PvE features two different battles where players escort an NPC and protect it from enemy NPC attack.

In Big World PvPvE, an all-out war ensues in which players compete against each other to occupy territory as well as the AI defenders who hold it. This mode includes two Stronghold War capture the flag-type contests. Stronghold Wars feature up to 15v15 battling simultaneously. Both sides have a flag that cannot be taken at the beginning, along with a neutral flag. The side that captures the neutral flag may attack the enemy's side, and if successful, may occupy their flag for a limited time. The defense wins if it can protect all its flags until the end of the game. In Stronghold Wars, Generals can be revived, but the Legion chosen by the General cannot.

Poros Interactive and Booming Tech are excited to announce an epic collaboration with Sabaton for the ongoing 21st season of Conqueror’s Blade.

As the Lionfire season delves further into the history of Swedish warfare, an in-game event will create thrilling opportunities for players to connect across gaming and music with Sabaton-inspired activities and cosmetic items, including weapon attires and a new in-game cosmetic skin turning lead singer Joakim Brodén into a Swedish warrior.

The Battle Metal: Sabaton & Conqueror’s Blade event runs from Nov. 21 through Dec. 5, and it marks the first time that a celebrity likeness will be featured as a playable skin. The above trailer shares a first look at the event while Sabaton’s “The Lion from the North” gives the action a hard-driving soundtrack. As the trailer illustrates, Booming Tech put a great deal of care into ensuring that Brodén’s warrior attire is period-accurate – and appropriately epic, thanks to an electric new Maul attire that was designed with the Sabaton singer’s input.

Here’s a full rundown of what fans can expect from the Battle Metal event:

  • Sabaton Metal Legend Attire featuring the voice and likeness of Sabaton lead singer Joakim Brodén, with two unique looks included.
  • The Sabaton Rockcrusher is a weapon attire that transforms the Maul, giving it the look and feel of an electric guitar. Complete with custom sound effects and a unique emote!
  • The Sabaton Mini Battle Pass, included with the purchase of the Sabaton Metal Legend attire or the bundled Metal Legend/Rockcrusher attire pack, unlocks missions that lead to dozens of additional rewards, including an Emerald Warrior variant of the Sabaton attire.
  • A reworked “Sabaton Fortress” siege map, backed by a newly recorded orchestral version of Sabaton’s “The Lion from the North”.
  • Community events! You can check out the Conqueror’s Blade website for more details on the Battle Metal event.

“The mediums we play in may be different, but Sabaton and Poros Interactive are united by a shared desire to explore history through art," said Yannik Hellmich, Director, Publishing & Product at Booming Tech. “Conqueror’s Blade thrives in 2024 thanks to our active and dedicated community, and we think our players will love the thematically perfect marriage between our game’s history-grounded action and Sabaton’s epic power chords.”

The Lionfire season launched on Sept. 19, introducing a new Swedish hero, the “Star Bastion” map, and three units inspired by the period: Reitar Pistoleers, Swinefeather Musketeers, and Lionroar Cannon Crews. The season is directly inspired by the reign of King Gustavus Adolphus, the 17th century Swedish ruler who is often referred to as “the father of modern warfare.” Notably, the title of Sabaton’s song “The Lion From the North” is also a direct nod to another of the king’s well-known nicknames.

“Gustavus Adolphus is considered one of Sweden’s greatest kings, and we wrote ‘The Lion

From the North’ as a tribute to his legacy,” said Sabaton bassist Pär Sundström. “Booming Tech
has dreamed up a cool crossover and I’m really excited to experience that! Two worlds are
colliding in a really special way, and I see so many stories in this collaboration on the horizon.”

Key Features:

  • Massive Battles and Sieges: With commanders perched at ramparts and enormous trebuchets hurling burning boulders at the battling armies, Conqueror’s Blade delivers unforgettable battlescapes and a visceral medieval combat experience. With more than 1000 units charging the enemy at the same time, 30 commanders and their wisely chosen, battle-hardened troops will face off in attempts to outmaneuver the opposition. The players are the vanguard; personally, protecting the battering rams while under fire from death-dealing arrows - all while looking to exploit an overextended enemy and secure the choke points required to emerge victorious.
  • Medieval Cultural Clashes: Capturing warfare at the peak of medieval rivalry, Conqueror’s Blade sets up conflicts between military forces that have never crossed swords. Players will choose from ten commanders, each with their own fighting style and weaponry. Can a Japanese nodachi withstand a clash against a Swiss halberd, and will be a Hospitaller’s lance be swift enough to charge a recurved Mongol bow? Answers to centuries-old questions will be finally settled on the field of battle.
  • Conquest of an Open World: Conqueror’s Blade’s war theater is a persistent open world divided by regions with unique landscapes, resources and cultures. Players explore the fictional, mysterious heart-shaped continent for as far as their army can take them -- and where skirmishes over resources are inevitable. A key task for player guilds is how to organize their commanders and cooperatively plot to conquer each region, all while building and upgrading infrastructure and recruiting for the armies that will protect the spoils of war.
  • Trade and economic system: Kingdoms will wither and die without healthy trade, so set up your economy with an eye on the markets and diplomatic options open: it makes all the difference between a house and an empire! Trade coins and items at the Auction House, buy basic equipment from Merchants, or take risks on the Black Market to sell off rare materials for silver or gold.

Players can register on the official website or Steam.
