Very unexpected mashups of the world of distant past and modern or near environments have always attracted attention in video games. For example, whiplash between the dinosaur-filled streets of ExoPrimal, or the historical environment of the previous Assassin’s Creed game and the science fiction lab quickly turns your head. This kind of discrepancy is even more convincing King Makerwhich helped to generate high expectations for a combination of medieval and modern warfare and a hybrid of strategy and archer design. Now, after months of waiting, we finally have the release date of Kingmaker, and it’s not too far.
It’s difficult to accurately classify Kingmakers types. Not only for its strange aesthetic Mishmash, but also for the way it combines both third-person action and strategy game payment construction.
Most of the game envisions the role of modern soldiers sent in time to save the future by participating in the medieval British War, either alone or online cooperatives. They must fight armored knights and attack castles, but players can use automatic rifles and rocket launchers, slam enemy ranks with tanks, or ride battlefields with bikes. The Strategic Layer comes from a system that allows players to switch from ground battles, giving units orders and building a fort more deleted perspective.
This genre-setting combination is likely a large part of why so many players want to check out their projects themselves. At the time of writing, Kingmakers is the most wishlist game tagged as “Strategy” on Steam, and the 15th overall wishlist game. Luckily, it won’t take long until everyone can try it.
Kingmakers will be released on October 8th, 2025 in Early Access on Steam. You can find more information or create a wish list here.
