The game, which is currently playable via a closed alpha on PC, is a follow up to the original Chivalry: Medieval Warfare and brings melee-focussed, first-person combat to the fore once again. News of the console release and confirmation of cross-play between all platforms was officially announced as part of IGN’s Summer of Gaming event via a trailer, which you can see below.

The sequel will feature improved visuals and larger battles than its predecessor, with up to 64-players able to take part in storming castles and raiding villages as part of the game’s expanded grand Team Objective mode.

Torn Banner have also added more voice-lines, battle cries and deeper character customisation for “enhanced player expression,” and the game’s combat system has been revamped for a much “faster and more fluid” experience.

A new downed state has been introduced, giving teammates the opportunity to revive fallen allies, and players will also be able to battle on despite the loss of a limb or equipment so that they can “stay in the action until you’ve bled your last drop.”

There’s no Chivalry 2 release date just yet, though the game is said to be coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PS4, PS5 and PC via the Epic Games Store (EGS) sometime later this year.
