What are some of the things that were changed or adjusted for the sequel (drags, ballerina moves), and what are some returning features from the first game?Īlex: We wanted the core combat of Chivalry 2 to be immediately recognizable to players of the first game while at the same time requiring them to go through a complete re-education to understand how to be successful on the battlefield with all of the changes and improvements to combat we’ve made.Ĭhivalry 2 still has all of the same primary move sets of the first game, most bound to the same inputs, so you can instantly be familiar with how to control your character.

Therefore, a lot of potential was left on the table – we made something back then we’re very proud of still today, and think it was great for the time, but we knew we wanted to revisit the series and do a sequel when we could truly do it right.Ĭhivalry 2 represents what a more experienced team can do with far more resources, time, funding – and a much more ambitious overall vision for an epic scale medieval battlefield game.

The first Chivalry was the best title we were able to produce at the time, albeit with a limited amount of game development experience and resources. What inspired the team at Torn Banner to return to Chivalry?Īlex Hayter: We’ve always wanted to make a sequel to the first game, which came out almost 9 years ago(!) back in October 2012.
