Warhorse Studios has secured exclusive in-game footage through its partnership with IGN, offering an unfiltered glimpse into the early stages of their forthcoming title. The narrative commences with Godwin, a valiant warrior who plays a pivotal role in defending a besieged fortress against the enemy’s relentless assault. However, the action soon shifts back several weeks to recount the tale of Henry of Skalitz, setting the stage for an epic adventure that will unfold over the course of this story?
As he traverses the countryside alongside his troop, accompanied by his trusted ally Sir Hans Capon, their journey eventually intersects with that of a rival group of soldiers. Here participants can choose from three distinct playstyles for Henry: Soldier, well-suited to prevention; Adviser, excelling in the art of persuasion; or Scout, a master of stealth. You’ll acquire initial insights into key skills but must decide which ones to pursue further.
The game’s design appears to allow for experimentation with mixed playstyles, but further exploration is needed to confirm this flexibility. As the gameplay unfolds, players are treated to a showcase featuring Henry and Hans engaging in a intense sparring session, thereby allowing gamers to become intimately familiar with the combat mechanics. The experience is further enriched by the inclusion of the cube mini-game and other exciting features.
Launches on February 11th, 2025, for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC. Check out this exclusive bonus content!
