The next-era of melee based combat will soon be upon us and today Torn Banner Studios and Tripwire not only confirm the full release date for Chivalry 2, but also details surrounding a closed beta.

Chivalry 2 promises to bring the whole melee based combat genre into the next-generation when it launches on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5 and PC, with the release date now confirmed to be June 8th 2021.

A multiplayer first-person slasher that has been inspired by epic medieval movie battles, in Chivalry 2 players will find themselves thrust into the action of every iconic moment of the era; from clashing swords, to storms of flaming arrows, sprawling castle sieges, and more. It’ll be up to you to attempt to dominate massive battlefields, all while catapults tear the earth apart and others lay siege to castles, set fire to villages, and slaughter filthy peasants in the return of Team Objective maps.

Chivalry 2 should be found improving on the original genre-defining Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, and this time around it will invite players to master the blade with an all-new and improved combat system that not only combines real-time strikes and a free-flowing combo system to speed up the action, but will let all turn into a whirlwind of steel on the battlefield. It’s been created with the ability to fight multiple foes in mind, and that is where Chivalry 2’s combat should come to the fore, mixing the best of both FPS and fighting game genres for an unmatched melee experience. Throw in cross-play support across Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5 and PC, and you’ve got everything you could ever want.

Whilst June 8th is the date set for commencement of battle, there will be the opportunity to get yourself involved sooner, thanks to a pre-order bonus system. This will see PC players able to enter the ultimate medieval battlefield early, with those dropping pre-order cash guaranteed access to the Chivalry 2 Cross-Play Closed Beta event beginning March 26th.

If that sounds like something for you, pre-orders for the Chivalry 2: Day One Edition for PC & Console are live from today at participating retailers, with the Chivalry 2: Day One Edition for PC and console granting the “Royal Zweihänder” weapon skin. You’ll also find digital stores holding the same pre-orders.

“Our dev team has been firing on all cylinders to create the best medieval combat game imaginable,” said Torn Banner Founder, Steve Piggott. “Chivalry 2 is going to be everything fans of the first title dreamed of and so much more – from a combat system rebuilt from the ground up, to massive upgrades in scale and visuals.”

“We continue to be impressed with the craftsmanship and creativity from our partners at Torn Banner Studios,” said John Gibson, CEO and Co-owner at publisher Tripwire Interactive. “They’ve crafted something very special with Chivalry 2, building the groundwork for a game that will allow players to experience epic medieval battles across all five major gaming platforms for years to come.”

Additional details on what players can expect from the upcoming Chivalry 2 Cross-Play Closed Beta event include:

● Cross-Play Across All Platforms: Cross-Play smashes the boundaries between PC and console, allowing players to face-off on the battlefield together, regardless of platform.

● Size Matters: Experience the chaos of epic medieval battlefields, charge forth to the frontlines of battle, and experience true mass-scale combat supporting up to 64-players designed to capture the intensity and scope of “The Battle of the Bastards” from Game of Thrones.

● Master Blade, Bow, or… Chicken: Your arsenal expands with the new subclass system that provides more variety than ever before. Four base classes expand to 12 subclasses, including the Skirmisher, a melee/ranged hybrid – to the Poleman, a fighter who keeps foes at bay with long-distance melee.

● The World is Your Weapon: Own the field with a variety of heavy siege engines including Ballistae, Catapults, Trebuchet, Battering Rams, Mantlets, Spike Traps, Ladders and more. Utilize traps to defend, including spikes, bear traps, and more. You can even deal damage with a smorgasbord of “found items” on the battlefield. Try downing a cup of mead and deal a killing blow with the empty chalice or finish off a foe by smashing him in the face with a flaming chicken!

● New Map – The Siege of Rudhelm: In the first public hands-on of Chivalry 2 since PAX East 2020, experience the return of the fan-favorite Team Objective mode and join attacking or defending teams as 64-players vie for control of a well-fortified castle in a never-before-seen map.

● Many Modes: In addition to Team Objective mode, closed beta participants can also sharpen their skills in a variety of other modes, including Team Deathmatch and Free-for-All.

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore.
