Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is a first-person multiplayer action video game currently being developed by Torn Banner Studios as their first commercial title.[1] The game is set in the Middle Ages and offers similar gameplay combat to the developer's previously released Half-Life 2 mod, Age of Chivalry. As of March 2011, no release date has been set for the game,[2] though the developers have confirmed that the game will be PC-exclusive.[3]

Gameplay

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare has improved graphics (bottom) over the original Age of Chivalry (top). In both shots, a knight uses his sword to guard from an attacker.

Chivalry has similar gameplay mechanics to Age of Chivalry, a Half-Life 2 mod created by the same developer Torn Banner Studios.[1][2] Combat is primarily melee,[4] carried out from a first person perspective using medieval implements of war: swords, maces, longbows, and other weaponry of the time are used to hack, smash, and rain arrows down upon enemies.[2] The game will also feature ballistas, catapults, and boiling oil to use on enemies and their fortifications.[4] Online matches are effected through objective-based gameplay, such as breaching a castle gate with a battering ram or looting a foe's camp.[2] Although the game does not have a single-player campaign, it does have a co-op mode[2] and plans to create an offline mode as well.[4]

In the game, the fictional nation of Agatha is in a civil war, with two factions – the Agathian Knights and the Mason Order – vying for control of the region.[5] Players pick their sides and choose from several character classes, including knights, archers, and supports, each with a different set of skills and choice of weaponry.[5]

Development

The game is based on the free Age of Chivalry mod for Half-Life 2.[1][2][6] The developers revamped the combat system from the mod, making changes to both melee and ranged combat.[2] Chivalry also features interactive environments and a "more intuitive" movement system, as well as new graphics and animations.[2] The original mod was created using Half-Life 2's Source game engine, whereas Chivalry now uses the Unreal Engine.[2] The game was first announced under the title Chivalry: Battle For Agatha on May 20, 2010, but has since changed its name to the current title.[1][7]
