Everything We Know About Kingmakers
Kingmakers Story Plot
In Kingmakers, you’re thrust 500 years into the past, where the fate of a bloody war—and the future—rests in your hands. Though the exact year remains unclear, you find yourself in a vividly medieval England.
Equipped with cutting-edge modern technology—automatic firearms, guided explosives, and even armored vehicles—you become a one-person army against hordes of armored knights and mounted cavalry. Your mission? Rewrite history, alter the course of the war, and avert an impending apocalypse by forging a new timeline through sheer force of will and sundering gunfire.
Kingmakers Gameplay
Kingmakers blends action, strategy, and sandbox chaos, with the goal of causing as much destruction as possible. Unlike DOOM, where you play a futuristic demigod shredding demons, here you’re a modern soldier wielding state-of-the-art weaponry against waves of medieval knights, serfs, and kingsmen.
The gameplay is refreshingly straightforward—point, shoot, and storm the castle. As you cut through enemy ranks, you’ll strategically weaken the castle’s defenses before seizing its keep for yourself. The game also features a multiplayer mode, allowing players to field their own armies and battle for dominance in co-op or competitive matches, adding another layer of medieval mayhem.
Kingmakers also offers a colony-management system, allowing players to build, maintain, and organize various structures that aid in their castle conquests. While the exact purpose of each building isn’t fully detailed yet, trailers have revealed key structures like blacksmiths and stables.
