Sharpen your swords: Torn Banner Studios invites you to the open beta of the medieval battle simulator Chivalry 2. It starts at the end of May. PC and console gamers will be bashing each other's heads in. Will the platform war finally be decided in Chivalry 2?
Publisher Iceberg Interactive and developer Torn Banner Studios invite you to another beta round with Chivalry 2. The medieval battlefest is undoubtedly suitable for all players who have already enjoyed Mordhau or, for example, For Honor - perhaps you too will soon be able to get excited about the battle genre since Chivalry 2 is bloodier than a Texas Chainsaw Massacre, you can only watch the open beta announcement trailer on YouTube with the appropriate age verification.
Start and end of the Chivalry 2 Open Beta
The upcoming Open Beta is no longer intended to let only pre-orderers take to the field. All PC gamers and console gamers are cordially invited to thrust two-handed swords into the guts of opponents from 27 May 2021. Free of charge, of course. The developer studio primarily wants to use this to test whether Chivalry 2 is ready for larger cross-play sessions and, moreover, it will be the last beta phase before the release of Chivalry 2 on 8 June. PC gamers can take part in the beta via the Epic client (Epic keys available from us - including pre-order bonus).
