Chivalry: Medieval Warfare - from indie developer and original publisher Torn Banner Studios - was initially released in 2012, but the brutal first-person slasher is still considered a solid game to this🎶 day (especially thanks to its current from over 45,000 ratings, as of this writing). It was really only a matter of time before a sequel was released.

Orig🅠inally announced at la♏st year’s PC Gaming Show, Chivalry 2 will bring back all ꦅof the violent battles that PC players got to experience with the first game. This time, though, the franchise will be launching more than just on PC launch, including releases on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via the Epic Games Store, in addition to an eventual release on the next-gen consoles of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

Today, we’re extremely happy to announce that the next great Chivalry experience will be available on consoles and feature Cross-Play enabling players everywhe🥂♒re to hack and slash together!”
