Chainsawesome Games is heading back into the multiplayer arena later this year, as they’ve announced plans to launch Knight Squad 2 this Fall for the PC and Xbox One (it’ll also be playable on the Xbox Series X via backwards compatibility).
Once again featuring a style very similar to Bomberman, Knight Squad 2 will embrace the wackiness of its premise with a medieval arsenal that includes swords and crossbows, as well as bazookas, laser pistols, and ghosts. The final package will feautre more than 13 competitive modes, including a few returning favorites (“Capture the Flag” and “Soccer”) and several new experiences (“Payload” and “Minion Master”):
Join the fray with up to eight players and duke it out across more than 13 competitive modes. Fight to become the last one standing in free-for-all events such as Battle Royale or squad up to take on all comers in old favorites like Capture the Flag and new game types including Payload, which sees teams clash in an explosive tug of war to deliver powder kegs to the enemy base, and Minion Master, where rivals raise armies to besiege and topple opposing fortresses.
No matter the arena, the knights always wield a wild arsenal of weapons and powerups, ranging from traditional medieval arms to more absurd ones like ghosts, land mines, and laser guns. Knight Squad 2’s over-the-top action brings a signature element to the table, transforming even the likes of Soccer into a full
contactcombat sport and emblazoning an element of turbulent fun onto an accessible, simple-to-understand experience that brings people together.
The first trailer for Knight Squad 2 has been embedded above.
