Developer Torn Banner Studios and publisher Tripwire Presents announced that Chivalry 2 is available now for PS Plus Members for the month of May. The news comes alongside the launch of the Raiding Party Update, the latest major content update for Chivalry 2 across all supported platforms. Available now, the Raiding Party Update further increases the size and scope of the ultimate medieval battlefield with a brand-new Team Objective Map “The Sacking of Bridgetown,” the Heavy Cavalry Sword, the “Raiding Party” Campaign Pass, and more! In addition, Chivalry 2 players can look forward to joining forces with friends free of platform restrictions with the beta release of the highly anticipated Cross Party feature.
Chivalry 2 Raiding Party Update Key Highlights Include:
- Cross Parties (BETA): Players can now add friends and create parties across all platforms.
- New Map – “The Sacking of Bridgetown”: 64 players clash in battle in this brand-new Team Objective scenario that finds an Agathian wine festival disrupted by a Tenosian invasion! Invading Tenosians must torch the countryside, crash the Agathian celebration, and throw their nobles off the bridge while Agathian defenders fight to defend Bridgetown every step of the way.
- New Weapon – “Heavy Cavalry Sword”: Available for the Footman Man-at-Arms and Knight Guardian classes, this one-handed weapon has long reach and slow swings. Designed with horseback combat in mind, players can “lead the charge” with the Heavy Cavalry Sword by inputting a special attack while mounted. In addition, the heavy sword features unique slash attacks when mounted and on foot, providing further versatility.
- New Campaign Pass – “Raiding Party”: The new “Raiding Party” Campaign Pass with a cornucopia of new challenges and customization unlocks, including new armor, imperfections, facepaint, heraldry, and weapons!
- New “Mounted Arena” Mode (Coming Soon!): Starting soon, players will prove their strength and skill before a cheering crowd in “Mounted Arena,” a brand-new limited-time 1v1 PvP Arena Mode. From May 19 through June 4, players will be able to mount up and challenge each other to a joust on Tournament Grounds with randomized weapons. The Mounted Arena mode will join other fan-favorite limited-time modes, including Brawl, Archer vs. Archer, and Free-for-All.
