Medieval times have always fascinated game developers and players, but recent titles like Kingdom Come: Deliverance and Crusader Kings 3 have breathed new life into the period. Now, Chronicles: Medieval, the first title from Raw Power Games, hopes to explore the era in a new way by giving players their own medieval story to craft. It’s a massively ambitious open-world sandbox where players can do everything from become a merchant to command massive armies.
“When we were thinking of a sandbox game, a breathing world and the player forging their own story, medieval times just felt like a good setting,” senior game designer Andrzej Zawadzki tells Inverse, “Not only is it rich in terms of events, characters, and things to explore, but because of how diverse it was and how and how much the period changed over time.”
