tinyBuild and Redemption Road Games have unveiled the first trailer for Kingmakers, a new third-person shooter strategy hybrid game where players travel back in time to the medieval era with guns and an arsenal of modern weapons. It is slated to launch for PC via Steam sometime in 2024.

The premise is this: You’re the last hope in a dying world. Travel back 500 years, to medieval England, in order to change the course of a bloody war and maybe, if you’re lucky, stave off the apocalypse. Can you tip the scales of history and create a new timeline?

Each battle you engage in runs as a fully real-time simulation with thousands of soldiers fighting at the same time. Every soldier on the battlefield is controlled by a next-gen multi-threaded AI which controls their decision-making, pathfinding, and loyalty. Players will use assault rifles, shotguns, grenade launchers, armoured SUVs, bikes, attack helos, air strikes and more.

Up to three friends can lead their own armies alongside yours, and join in on your conquest in online cooperative play. You will be able to seamlessly switch between combat and issuing orders, at any time; either directly issue orders to the warriors or leave it up to your petty officers, allocate legions of archers, swordsmen, spearmen, and cavalry, build fortifications, and plan your next move.
