Fan favorite medieval melee combat game Chivalry is getting a sequel titled Chivalry 2.
Here’s everything we know about the upcoming title:
Release date
Initially slated to launch in 2020, but delayed to some point in 2021. In a developer update, Torn Banner Studios says, “We believe this updated timeline is necessary to allow Chivalry 2 to be the greatest game it can be, and one that realizes our vision of a “true sequel” to the original Chivalry: Medieval Warfare.”.

Gameplay
As revealed at E3 2019 by developer Torn Banner Studios, Chivalry 2 is going to up the ante quite a bit by bumping the player count up to an astonishing 64 combatants.
The change will definitely make things more hectic, however the studio says that’s kind of the point. The team stated that their goal is to recreate the insanity and chaos of things like the Game of Thrones episode, “Battle of the Bastards.” In pursuit of that goal, they’re also thinking of how to improve some of their existing game modes.
“The biggest impact the increased scale has is on our Team Objective mode,” said Torn Banner Studios’ president Steve Piggott. “Cinematic ‘battle story’ maps that tell a narrative in multiplayer by having the players move through huge environments across multiple stages and changing objectives contextualized to the era, so that in a single map you are killing peasants, burning houses, smashing gates down with a battering ram and killing the king.”
Chivalry 2 will feature cross-play and will even be available for current and next-gen consoles. That should hopefully get the franchise in the hands of as many players as possible.
