This update toChivalry 2can be broken down into three parts: Halloween-themed additions, new game modes, and patches to known bugs and issues. The holiday additions include new wearable pumpkin helmets, interactable grave plots, Jack-O-Lantern carryables, and a number of holiday-themed additions to the game’s maps. The new game modes include Last Team Standing, a large round-based fighting mode, and Brawl, a close-quarters brutal challenge onthe Great Hall or Rudhelm FeastChivalry 2maps. These are accompanied by the new weapon, the Rapier, and a slew of new carryables including breakable bottles and chairs. These two items will come in especially handy for the bar fighting Brawl game mode.
After adelay to the release ofChivalry 2, this is the first chance the developers have had to theme their levels and the spooky additions bring a new atmosphere to the game. A combination of serious and light-hearted additions should mix quite well and the new game modes sound as though they should have always been a part of the game. In fact, the first game in the series,Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, actually did host a Last Team Standing mode.
Ever sinceChivalry 2’sannouncementit has been known for being both gritty and less serious and this update matches that perfectly. For example, losing arms in the game usually meant death but, with this update, players will now be able to headbutt their way to a longer survival period. And the new game mode Brawl tasks players to take on up to 40 players in wild close quarters medieval bar fighting.
Then again, those looking for a medieval fighting simulator likely won’t be all for these changes and Halloween additions. Adding in a layer of holiday themes may take some players out of the gritty fighting. Either way though, there is more content forChivalry 2players to enjoy with this update.
Chivalry 2is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
