Kingmakers allows players to bring an arsenal of assault rifles, humvees, and attack helicopters to war-torn medieval England, where they’ll assist Owain Glyndower’s 1401 Welsh Rebellion, via massive simulated battles.

Players will take on the role of an elite task force operative sent back in time to war-torn medieval England with a vast arsenal of modern weapons. The mission: change the course of history and prevent the apocalypse in the future.

Kingmakers throws you back in time to the age of all-out medieval warfare. Save the future in an epic action-strategy sandbox featuring thousands of soldiers at the same time.

Build your kingdom, grab your gun(s), and lead your armies into massive, real-time simulated battles — solo or in co-op for up to four players.

Originally planned for 2024, then pushed until Q1 2025, delayed until October 8, Kingmakers has been postponed until further notice.

After much contemplation, we realize that the scheduled Kingmakers launch on October 8 will no longer be possible. We want to apologize to all of the fans who are eagerly anticipating this game. We are sorry for letting you down.

Why is Kingmakers being delayed? In short: it’s an incredibly ambitious, uncompromising game, and we don’t want to cut any planned features, for the sake of getting it out the door earlier. Our goal, from the start, has been to create something that’s nothing like anything else on the market, in terms of gameplay, scale, scope, and interactivity.

With Kingmakers, we set out to push the Unreal Engine 4 codebase to its absolute limits, while still providing true 60fps to midrange PCs, without the need for fake frames. We are an 80% engineering team, who got into this business to push technological barriers.

We currently have tens of thousands of soldiers, each with AI and pathfinding that rivals what you’d expect from a AAA third person shooter. When you walk away from a battle, it continues to play out. Nothing is faked. We have giant 6 story castles where every room can be entered and every wall, floor, and ceiling destroyed. When you build a Lumbermill, it’s a real place that can be entered, or, in an enemy invasion, turned into a combat arena.

When you drive a car into a tree, you’re ejected through the windshield, the tree breaks from its stump, and then rolls over whatever hapless soldiers are along its path. Every mission takes place in a massive map that each player on the server is free to explore – with or without their own personal army of thousands.

We set out to do all of this, with full drop-in/drop-out 4 player multiplayer support, and we have. We just need a bit more time on content polish before we feel good about charging money for it.

So that is what we are doing now. We’re making sure everyone who buys the game is enthralled and feels like their money was well spent. We want this to be the case whether you have a top-of-the line rig or a PC that’s seen better days.

Thank you so much for all of your love and support. We hope we are doing everything we can to earn it.

We will be presenting a half hour long deepdive on Kingmakers gameplay very soon, with a comprehensive overview of everything we’ve been working on.
