Chivalry 2 also supports free cross-generational upgrades from current-gen versions when you upgrade to a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S system.

To celebrate this news, and to prepare players for the upcoming Cross-Play Closed Beta, Torn Banner has released two all-new videos detailing each of the battling factions featured in Chivalry 2. The Mason Order – For the Red and Black! Inspired by the virtues of strength, merit and dominance, the Mason Order has no respect for the weak and seek to crush any who oppose them. The Agatha Knights – For the Blue and Gold! The Agatha Knights are instilled with a strong sense of loyalty, duty and honor, and believe themselves to be the rightful rulers of the land.

Additional details on what players can expect from the upcoming Chivalry 2 Cross-Play Closed Beta include:

• Cross-Play Across All Platforms: Cross-Play smashes the boundaries between PC and console, allowing players to face-off on the battlefield together, regardless of platform.
• Size Matters: Experience the chaos of epic medieval battlefields, charge forth to the frontlines of battle, and experience true mass-scale combat supporting up to 64-players designed to capture the intensity and scope of “The Battle of the Bastards” from Game of Thrones.
• Master Blade, Bow, or… Chicken: Your arsenal expands with the new subclass system that provides more variety than ever before. Four base classes expand to 12 subclasses, including the Skirmisher, a melee/ranged hybrid – to the Poleman, a fighter who keeps foes at bay with long-distance melee.
• The World is Your Weapon: Own the field with a variety of heavy siege engines including Ballistae, Catapults, Trebuchet, Battering Rams, Mantlets, Spike Traps, Ladders and more. Utilize traps to defend, including spikes, bear traps, and more. You can even deal damage with a smorgasbord of “found items” on the battlefield. Try downing a cup of mead and deal a killing blow with the empty chalice or finish off a foe by smashing him in the face with a flaming chicken!
• New Map – The Siege of Rudhelm: In the first public hands-on of Chivalry 2 since PAX East 2020, experience the return of the fan-favorite Team Objective mode and join attacking or defending teams as 64-players vie for control of a well-fortified castle in a never-before-seen map.
• Many Modes: In addition to Team Objective mode, closed beta participants can also sharpen their skills in a variety of other modes, including Team Deathmatch and Free-for-All.

Chivalry 2 is a multiplayer first-person slasher inspired by epic medieval movie battles. Players are thrust into the action of every iconic moment of the era –from clashing swords, to storms of flaming arrows, sprawling castle sieges, and more. Dominate massive battlefields while catapults tear the earth apart as players lay siege to castles, set fire to villages, and slaughter filthy peasants in the return of Team Objective maps.

Improving on the original genre-defining Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, Chivalry 2 invites players to master the blade with an all-new and improved combat system that combines real-time strikes and a free-flowing combo system to speed up the action and let players become a whirlwind of steel on the battlefield. Created with the ability to fight multiple foes in mind, Chivalry 2’s combat mixes the best of both FPS and fighting game genres for an unmatched melee experience.

Ravenscourt and DESTINYbit announce their cooperation for the upcoming ambitious, indie game Dice Legacy

Koch Media Group Providing Global Publishing Services for the Unique Genre Mix

Sydney, Australia, March 31, 2021 – Ravenscourt, one of Koch Media’s global publishing units, teams up with Indie developer DESTINYbit for the upcoming dice-based city builder survival game Dice Legacy. The original idea creatively blends the best parts of different genres and creates its own distinct place, brought to life by the passion of a core team of only seven developers. Dice Legacy is set to be released digitally on Nintendo Switch™ and PC in mid-2021, with Ravenscourt providing full global publishing support.

Dice Legacy will explore new directions that shape the future of digital tabletop games with its unique combination of management and dice chucking gameplay. The debut trailer gives viewers a first glimpse of the enigmatic ringworld and unique game mechanics. Watch as the ship lands on the shores of an uncharted continent and a first settlement takes root. The new land poses its own set of challenges that can be overcome by using the dice at hand or forging new, more powerful dice as well.

Announcement Trailer

Dice Legacy on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1229460/Dice_Legacy/

Gian Paolo Vernocchi, Founder of DESTINYbit says: “Dice Legacy is an incredibly innovative game and we’re excited to partner with Ravenscourt on our quest to bring our love for dice to the masses. We blended the best elements of survival city builders, roguelikes and board games to create a unique mix. We’re hoping that together with Ravenscourt we can bring our idea to a wider audience and hopefully kick the ball in a new direction for the industry and shape the future of digital tabletop style games.”

Dr. Klemens Kundratitz, Koch Media’s CEO states: “It’s not often that a game as unique as Dice Legacy comes along and therefore is a lovely addition to our Ravenscourt lineup. It’s fascinating to play a game that shows us the dice rolls that usually happen in the background and stays true to its tabletop roots.”

Henrik Jonsson, Executive Producer of Amplifier Game Invest, explains: “Dice Legacy is a perfect example of a game where the core mechanics stand out immediately. When we invested in DESTINYbit, we had played the game only in its rawest form, with just dice and a blue background. We knew the game was an absolutely unique creation and we are exceptionally proud to be partnering with Koch Media and the Ravenscourt publishing label to give Dice Legacy the multiplatform release it deserves.”

About Dice Legacy

Dice Legacy is a roguelike survival city-builder. Players use dice to establish a medieval town in a fascinating ringworld and grow their society.

Every action is based on the roll of a six-sided dice, from planting and harvesting to establishing supply chains or combat. In Dice Legacy, the dice represent the work force. As a ruler, builder, conqueror or trader the players will need to provide their dice with nourishment and care or witness their subjects eventually fade away. Balancing exploration, resource gathering, building and conquering is key whilst the ever present threat of mysterious factions looms in the fog of war.

Players will soon realise, luck is nothing without a good strategy behind it – and dice versa.

UnderMine Challenges Brave Souls on PlayStation 4 Today

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – 30 March 2021 – UnderMine, the action-adventure roguelike brimming with secrets from developer Thorium Entertainment, begins its dangerous quest today on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 via backward compatibility.

Enjoyed by more than 600,000 brave adventurers on Steam, Xbox Game Pass, and Nintendo Switch, UnderMine delivers a roguelike experience inspired by the genre’s most beloved titles combined with crisp, detailed pixel art. Enter the titular UnderMine as a worker tasked by the uncaring Overseer with uncovering the source of the mine’s tremors.

Starting with only a throwable pickaxe and a single bomb, collect gold before slimy Pilfers swipe it, collect keys to open treasure chests full of useful items, and uncover power-granting relics. Blow up walls to find secret paths with more loot and even potential allies to help future runs in exchange for that precious gold.

Buy permanent upgrades that make the miner hit harder, survive longer, and cause more powerful explosions. But with shops providing game-changing items for each run and only some money making its way back to the surface upon the peasant’s death, spend that gold wisely.

Reaching the bottom of the mine is not the end, for the truly brave who demand even more challenge can conquer the Othermine. Say goodbye to those hard-earned upgrades, and start each run with a random assortment of relics, upgrades, and curses. And if that’s not enough, prepare for even more challenge, with new content in development for all versions of UnderMine.

“It’s been a wild six years since I first founded Thorium Entertainment and started the first work on UnderMine, and now the game’s finally available on all the major platforms,” said Derek Johnson, Founder, Thorium Entertainment. “This isn’t the end of the story whatsoever, as we plan to keep building on UnderMine and making the game bigger and better.”

UnderMine is available now on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 via backward compatibility for $19.99. UnderMine supports English, French, German, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Russian language text.

For more information, please visit UnderMine’s official website, check out the game on Twitter and Instagram, join the official Discord server, and follow Thorium on YouTube and Twitch.

About Thorium Entertainment

Founded in 2015 by Derek Johnson, with his fellow former Relic Entertainment co-worker Clint Tasker joining him, the two-person Vancouver studio brought together by their passion for games. The duo was inspired by their experience in AAA development and the processes that make those games great while having the benefits of independent development, such as artistic integrity and being true to themselves. At the end of the day, Thorium knows games are meant to be fun, and if they’re not enjoying the process, their players aren’t going to enjoy the game. UnderMine is the studio’s debut title, initially released for Steam Early Access in 2019.
