Chivalry 2 is dead, long live Chivalry. Developer Torn Banner Studios has announced that, after three years, Chivalry 2 is finished and “feature complete.” But the team isn’t done with the franchise, and more Chivalry is on the way.
The news was announced yesterday in a note by Steve Piggott, the studio president and creative director. According to Piggott, May’s Regicide Update will be the last bit of new content coming to Chivalry 2. The team is pivoting to maintenance mode, but the bard has sung.
“With the Regicide Update we consider the game to be content and feature complete,” Piggott writes in the Steam message.
Not the end of Chivalry
Chivalry 2 launched into Early Access in June 2021. Since then, the multiplayer medieval combat game received eleven major updates. As noted by Piggott, fans enjoyed content drops that included mounted combat, new game modes, more maps, a new faction, and additional weapons to use for ye olde stabbing and beheading of foes.
According to Piggott, the team is now focusing on the future. Its next game is No More Room in Hell 2, a multiplayer co-op shooter where you fight against hordes of zombies — coming this Halloween. But, as the headline spoils, that won’t be all.
“With this final content update delivered to players, we’re excited to focus our efforts and resources on compelling new multiplayer projects, both in the Chivalry universe as well as within terrifying new co-op territory,” Piggott writes. “We’ve been building our team in number and skillset to take on these following challenges, with a focused effort to ensure that when the next Chivalry title is released, it will utterly blow players away.”
Chivalry 2 won’t be hung out to dry. Torn Banner will still deliver fixes and patches for its game, which is scheduled to stay online for quite some time.
