The strategic action game called “Kingmakers,” set during the Middle Ages, is slated to debut in Early Access on October 8, both on Steam and the Epic Games Store. This announcement was made by publishers tinyBuild and developers Redemption Road Games.

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

About

Step back into a turbulent medieval past, armed with cutting-edge technology, alter history’s trajectory, and secure the future in this grand action/strategy sandbox game. Construct your dominion, select a weapon, and take charge of a massive army, engaging in colossal, real-time simulated battles—either alone or collaboratively.

Key Features

  • Conquer the Past, Save the Future – You’re the last hope in a dying world. Travel back 500 years, to medieval England, in order to change the course of a bloody war and maybe, if you’re lucky, stave off the apocalypse. Can you tip the scales of history and create a new timeline?
  • Groundbreaking Medieval Simulation – Each battle you engage in runs as a fully real-time simulation with thousands of soldiers fighting at the same time. Every soldier on the battlefield is controlled by a next-gen multi-threaded AI which controls their decision-making, pathfinding, and loyalty. This, combined with a unique procedural animation system, allows Kingmakers to offer an unprecedented level of character and combat fidelity.
  • Bring Guns to a Sword Fight – How many swordsmen do you think you could take out with an AK-47? This is your chance to find out. Use assault rifles, shotguns, grenade launchers, armored SUVs, bikes, attack helos, air strikes and more to make sure the history altering goes smoothly. Put your sharpshooting skills to the test and wreak absolute havoc on the battlefield.
  • Conquer Alone or Team Up in Cooperative Play – Up to three friends can lead their own armies alongside yours, and join in on your conquest in online cooperative play. Work together to break down the enemy castle’s defenses or defend allied strongholds against hordes of opponents. Prepare for an epic medieval multiplayer experience like no other.
  • Command Your Troops in Battle – Seamlessly switch between combat and issuing orders, at any time. While the system is easy-to-learn and simple to use, the strategic possibilities are endless. Directly issue orders to the warriors or leave it up to your petty officers, allocate legions of archers, swordsmen, spearmen, and cavalry, build fortifications, and plan your next move before diving back into the fray.
