Chivalry Medieval Warfare for PS3: A Journey from Amateurs to Professionals

The vision of creating a Hollywood-inspired 'be a knight with a sword' medieval fantasy game was well-realized at the time, but it fell short in many areas due to Torn Banner Studios' minuscule size and inexperience a decade ago. Despite this, the studio's dedication to making their dreams a reality has paid off, leading to the development of Chivalry 2.

Torn Banner Studios' journey began with Age of Chivalry, a total conversion mod of Half-Life 2 released in 2007 by Team Chivalry. This group of friends turned the dystopian Valve classic into a medieval-themed melee brawler. The success of this mod led to the formation of Torn Banner Studios in 2010, and the team shifted to Unreal Engine to start development on Chivalry: Medieval Warfare.

The first Chivalry was made by a group of amateurs strewn across the world, working from basements and bedrooms. Their goal was to create the ultimate medieval multiplayer FPS, and this remains the case with Chivalry 2. Over the past 11 years, the studio has undergone significant transformation while holding onto its gritty spirit of ambition and inventiveness.

According to Torn Banner's Brand Director, Alex Hayter, 'Our studio has both utterly transformed itself since its early years, while also holding onto the gritty spirit of ambition and inventiveness that helped us make our mark in the first place.' The studio has evolved significantly since its early days, with a palette-cleansing change with magic-infused combat in Mirage: Arcane Warfare in 2017 before refocusing on chivalric combat.

Chivalry 2 promises to return players to a medieval battlefield with all the intensity and combat precision of the original title, but now infused with epic 64-player cinematic battlefields, castle sieges, and a revamped combat system that is easy to pick up but hard to master. The game's melee combat system has been refined to deliver an even more immersive experience, drawing inspiration from Monty Python-inspired personality.

The studio's dedication to creating a game that is both accessible and sticky-tight has led to the development of a well-designed multiplayer system, with responsive control of melee weaponry and maps that feel true to the medieval fantasy. With Chivalry 2, players can expect an intense multiplayer experience that requires skill and strategy to master.

In conclusion, Torn Banner Studios' journey from amateurs to professionals is a testament to their commitment to creating games that are both exciting and challenging. With Chivalry 2, they have outdone themselves in delivering an even more immersive medieval warfare experience. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the world of chivalric combat, Chivalry 2 promises to be an unforgettable gaming experience.
