About the previous delay
Chivalry 2 was first announced during the yearly E3 showcase of 2019. It had a great goal in mind and that is to make its combat more fluid and accessible than its predecessor, Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, that was released back in 2012. The developers’ Tom Banner Studios announced the delay to be necessary to develop and tweak their game to its maximum potential. This way, they can make it the ‘greatest game it can be’ to pursue their ambition of making Chivalry 2 the “true sequel”.

Our thoughts
Last year’s news of delay had made one thing clear about the game that it is going to be more like the developers had planned it initially. The more time on development had allowed them to tweak the game to its maximum potential. More maps and game features will be available right off launch this year which was not likely with the original release date.
The medieval battle sims are one of the popular genres of games. Some of those like, MORDHAU, Chivalry, Mount and Blade, etc. are popularly played among millions. Chivalry 2 will surely take the crown off these as we hold high expectations with this game.
The game will support cross-platform play with PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
