Chivalry II gets a massive update via the PC Gaming Show
As part of the PC Gaming Show 2022, Tripwire Interactive were on hand to talk all things Chivalry 2, specifically about the new content, which has also now released in the game. Check out the trailer below to get an idea of what to expect from the Tenosian Invasion.
The free Chivalry 2: Tenosian Invasion update is the largest and most ambitious content update yet, bringing forth a bevy of new content including the introduction of the fierce Tenosian faction, new Team Objective and Team Deathmatch maps, Armory items, weapon skins, and more.
“With horses just added alongside our biggest update yet, there’s never been a better time to play Chivalry 2,” said Steve Piggott, Torn Banner Studios’ CEO & Creative Director. “We’ve doubled the size of the game since launch and can’t wait to welcome even more players to the battle on Steam.”
"We're so excited for Chivalry 2 to finally hit Steam because we know that the most die-hard fans live on Steam and they are going to get a massive update to make the wait worth their while! Four new maps, a whole new faction, horses, and Torn Banner isn't slowing down!” said Brian Etheridge, Publishing Director for Tripwire Presents. “There will be even more to keep players playing all-new stuff for the rest of the year!"
As provided by Tripwire, here are some of the big new features included in the update:
Mounted Combat: The new, fully featured mounted combat system makes players feel like they are fighting atop a thousand-pound beast of war, including the ability to trample your foes, land devastating front or rear horse kicks, unhorse your opponent with a lance and engage in deep melee combat with grounded or mounted opponents. In select Team Objective maps, attacking and defending teams can ‘Join the Calvary’ during key moments, allowing them to spawn alongside teammates on horseback to rally towards an objective.
Tenosian Faction: New maps and scenarios are set in Tenosia. These strange lands to the south have hovered as a looming threat over the kingdom of Agatha. Now, the serpent empire emerges from the shadows, intent on sinking its fangs into the barbarous lands of the north. A wide array of customization additions comes with the introduction of the Tenosian faction, including new visual and audio differences in armour, helmet, weapon skins, and heraldry with brand-new voice over work and more!
New Maps: The new mounted combat system will be featured in the following maps included with the Tenosian Invasion update, with plans to incorporate mounted combat into additional classic Chivalry 2 maps moving forward.
The Breach of Baudwyn (Team Objective Map): Tenosians break through a Mason Bulwark with siege equipment, including new explosive Bombards.
The Razing of Askandir (Team Objective Map): Masons invade a Tenosian port city, aiming to demolish their lighthouse and burn down their massive library.
Desert (Team Deathmatch Map): A battle on the outskirts of Baudwyn in the dark, cold night.
The Charge of Wardenglade (Team Deathmatch Map): The classic open field of Wardenglade, now with horses!
New Armory Items: An array of customization options will focus on the new Tenosia faction, including real-world inspired armour sets and helmets such as the Masked Aswaran, as well as shields like the Dipylon and Sparabara.
The game is on PC, Xbox and PlayStation now, but later in the year it will be included in Xbox Game Pass for both console and PC, so if you haven’t made the jump into the game, you can do so later on.
