Strongholds have been besieged, enemies have been crushed, and legends have been created in the recent Chivalry 2 Cross-Play Closed Beta. If you’ve missed the medieval chaos, fear not! Torn Banner and Tripwire Presents are giving all players one more chance to master the blade. With loads of new maps, features and updates based on player feedback from the Closed Beta, there is a wealth of new content for you to try and discover in the upcoming Cross-Play Open Beta program.
The Cross-Play Open Beta includes:
- Cross-play on all platforms: Cross-play breaks down the boundaries between PC and console, allowing players to face off on the battlefield together, regardless of platform.
- The Slaughter of Coxwell (New Team Objective Map): the Mason order tries to make a brutal example of the peaceful village of Coxwell after declaring its support for Argon II. He burns the village, breaks the gate, steals the gold and kills the soldiers.
- The Battle of Darkforest (New Team Objective Map): the Agathian forces are lurking, ready to ambush the Mason army as it marches to kill the Duke of Fogbern Keep. Destroy the barricade, push the convoy, conquer and hold the guardhouse and kill the Duke.
- The Siege of Rudhelm (Team objective map): After weeks of siege, the Agathian forces begin a final assault on a Mason stronghold defended by the heir. Push the siege towers, conquer and hold the guardhouse, burn the tents, push the siege ramps, conquer and hold the courtyard and take down the heir to achieve victory.
- The Battle of Wardenglade (Team Deathmatch / FFA Map): the armies of the Mason Order and the Agathian Knights meet in an open battlefield on an equal footing.
- Tournament Grounds (Team Deathmatch / FFA Map): elite warriors of the Mason Order and Agathian Knights fight for supremacy and crowd worship.
- Free for all (new game mode): it’s you against everyone else in this chaotic free-for-all frenzy that first appears in Cross-Play Open Beta.
- Full customization (new for the Open Beta): customize your in-game appearance and unlock a wide variety of cosmetic options as you gain experience with each of the game’s four base classes and 12 sub-classes.
- Duel Server (New for Open Beta): Available for PC only, players can choose to join special servers set up for players who wish to hone their 1-on-1 dueling skills with other players. Participants are advised to respect the honor system and respect players who aim to focus on one-on-one duels.
- Server options for 64/40 players (new for Open Beta): Experience the chaos of epic medieval battlefields, take to the front lines and experience true full-scale combat supporting up to 64 players designed to capture the intensity and scope of “Battle of the Bastards” from Game of Thrones. For players interested in more strategic battles that require more communication and teamwork, there will also be options to join 40-player servers for Team Objective mode.
- Cross Play Party (new for the Open Beta): players can now group and form a party on the same platform before joining a Cross-Play match.
