Any good historical materialist can tell you that feudalism isn’t long for the world, so perhaps it’s no surprise that the good folk at Torn Banner Studios have, after three glorious years, announced that its online medieval warfare sim is now “Content and feature complete.” That’s right, folks: Chivalry is dead.
Specifically, Chivalry 2. Oh, fine, it’s notdead, I just couldn’t pass up an opportunity like that. A better word for it isdone. The game’s Regicide update from May was its “11th and final content piece,” says Torn Banner in anupdate on Steam.
Others are more sanguine and accepting. “Good for them,” writesDa_fire_cracka, “For a game I bought on sale for $20, this game as released countless free massive content updates and provided close to 1000 hours of amazing gameplay.”
“I haven’t stopped playing this game since I picked it up,” agreesNdem28, “do not regret doing so at all.”
Torn Banner isn’t done with Chivalry in its entirety, anyhow. “This isn’t the end for the Chivalry franchise,” writes the studio at the conclusion of its Steam announcement. “We’re excited to focus our efforts and resources on compelling new multiplayer projects… We’ve been building our team in number and skillset to take on these following challenges, with a focused effort to ensure that when the next Chivalry title is released, it will utterly blow players away.” Plus, of course, devs will keep working on maintenance for Chivalry 2, there just won’t be big updates in future.

For now, it sounds like Torn Banner is all-hands-on-deck forNo More Room In Hell 2, but I’d be astounded if we don’t see a Chivalry the Third some day. “We will be there,” writes a player namedForlornJosh, “it’ll just be in 5-10 years”.
