Torn Banner Studios, Tripwire Presents, and global retail publishing partner Deep Silver have proudly announced that the award-winning multiplayer title, Chivalry 2, has sold over 1 million units worldwide since launching on June 8, 2021; Chivalry 2 is currently available via cross-play support on PC (via Epic Games Store), the PlayStation 4/5 consoles, the Xbox One systems, and the Xbox Series X/S console systems.
This incredible sales milestone marks the first million-unit selling title for the publisher, Tripwire Presents, and takes the throne as developer Torn Banner’s fastest-selling title, ever. This news follows the release of the House Galencourt update, the first in a series of planned free content updates, introducing two new maps, a brand-new 3v3 gameplay mode, the return of the popular arrow camera feature from the original Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, over 60 customization options, and more.
The Chivalry 2 community has been active and growing following the title’s launch, with over 8 million hours of playtime logged and over 420 million combatants killed in battle. To date the most popular subclass amongst players is the Officer and the most popular weapon is, of course, the mighty Messer.
“Despite just launching in June, over a million people across five platforms have already played Chivalry 2, which tells us how much more potential the game has to grow,” said Steve Piggott, President of Torn Banner Studios. “We are so happy to have brought Chivalry 2’s unique experience of bloody, epic medieval warfare to so many people – and we’re already hard at work expanding the game much, much more.”
“Today we’re thrilled to celebrate the amazing milestone of Chivalry 2 selling over one million units in less than two months!” said John Gibson, Tripwire CEO. “We’ve been blown away by the response from players and critics alike, and the team is already hard at work on more great free content and adding highly requested features such as cross-platform parties.”
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 and storms of flaming arrows to 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 in every way, 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.
