This bizarro action game is all about bringing guns to the swordfights of medieval Europe, and I've never been more down for anything in my entire life

Kingmakers.

What you need to know

  • Developer Redemption Road Games and publisher tinyBuild have announced Kingmakers, a game about a modern soldier who time travels back to the Middle Ages to alter history and prevent an apocalypse.
  • The game blends real-time strategy with third-person shooter action, allowing you to seamlessly switch between commanding your armies and fighting alongside them with modern firearms and vehicles.
  • Notably, the game will feature "next-gen multi-threaded AI" for the thousands of soldiers on its battlefields, as well as "a unique procedural animation system" and support for 3-player co-op.
  • The developers plan to release Kingmakers in Steam Early Access later this year, and has plans to "open our gates to the community" with playtests and demos.
