Developer KITE Games and publisher THQ Nordic have revealed the release date of the upcoming squad-based medieval RTS The Valiant. Command and level up your knights when the game launches on October 19th on PC.
The developers point out that the game’s focus is on intense tactical battles, fought by a small number of specialized troops, instead of massive armies clashing together. The Valiant offers both an epic single-player campaign as well as both cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes.
Your brother-in-arms abandoned the fight, his men and even his vows after he stumbled upon a fragment of an ancient artefact. Now it is up to you to stop him from collecting the remaining pieces. Throughout this journey, you will meet many other warriors that decide to rally to the cause, from the old, seasoned Reinhard von Kempten of the Teutonic Order to the ambitious young mercenary Grimhild Eidottr and her Raven Company, each joining for different reasons, but slowly forming bonds that will keep through the trials and tribulations to come.
THE VALIANT – GAMEPLAY FEATURES:
- Squad-based RTS with a range of units, from tanky Swordsman to quick cavalry
- Select hero-squads and auxiliary squads across 15 exciting, hand-crafted Single Player missions, each with custom cinematics, narrated journals, difficulty levels, and more
