Kingmakers – the viral action-strategy sandbox from developer Redemption Road Games – will feature drivable tanks and destructible environments a recent trailer has revealed.
The game is set in medieval Great Britain but players control a modern day soldier who has travelled 500 years into the past to prevent an apocalypse in the present. Players will be able to use guns and vehicles in large-scale medieval battles – and the end result looks to be utter carnage.
As part of a showcase event held by the game’s publisher tinyBuild on 21 May, intrigued viewers were treated to the latest look at Kingmakers. Its ‘Wreak Havoc’ trailer showed the player riding a motorcycle and firing automatic weapons and grenade launchers into crowds of sword-wielding soldiers.
Most notably, the trailer showed off the game’s newly-announced destructible environments which are “all real-time, with dynamic physics in every collapse and explosion!”
Players will also be able to drive tanks straight through medieval buildings, reducing them to piles of rubble. Tanks can even be used to blast apart entire castles, with tinyBuild confirming that “every structure is vulnerable to destruction.”
The game has generated significant interest online thanks to its unique concept and is currently one of Steam’s most wishlisted games.
It is set to be released in early access via Steam later in 2024 and will feature online co-op for up to four players.
