King Arthur: Knight's Tale News

Updates to King Arthur: Knight's Tale have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client (in on-line mode) is restarted.

Patch v1.3.0



We are happy to announce that a new update is now live for King Arthur: Knight's Tale and two new DLCs are also available for purchase on Steam.

The new update adds a brand new optional Skirmish Game Mode to the game. In this mode, you'll be able to play through various unique mini-scenarios - all of which feature ten encounters, each more challenging than the previous one. Currently we have three mini-scenarios available: "The Trials of Sir Tewelyn" is free to play and added to the game with the patch for everyone, while "The Painted Devils" and the "Rogues and Renegades" skirmish maps are available as DLCs on Steam.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2221041/King_Arthur_Knigths_Tale__Brigands_Skirmish_Pack/

"The Trials of Sir Tewelyn" lets you control the infamous Sir Tewelyn and his Lost army (you might remember him from the story campaign), the first DLC focuses on the Pict faction, while the second follows a band of renegade Brigands. You can access the Skirmishes from the Main Menu. Do note that your campaign progress won't affect any of it and won't be affected by your Skirmish progress either, this is a separate game mode. By completing these challenges, you can earn three new Achievements to show off your mastery of tactics and strategy.

We have exciting news about some of the things we have been working on lately!

The game's first DLCs are on the way, and it's a treat for those who like strategic challenges and prefer pure combat. In the completely separate and brand new game mode - with multiple difficulty settings - players will be able to face unique enemy encounters in arena / skirmish scenarios. Certain NPCs from the campaign will make a return and new achievements will be added for completionists.

Just to tease things a bit, in one of these set of maps for instance you'll be in control of Sir Tewelyn and his Lost army with their well-known unique abilities. The first set of this skirmish setting will be available for everyone for free (as part of a game update), while the second and the third parts will be added as two separate DLCs. All three (including 10 pretty challenging encounters each) will be out really soon.

Additionally, the second season of Knight's Tale is in the works! This will be a free content patch for everyone, just like the current seasonal update, with a short story campaign, new mechanics and more. This time around, we'll be taking up the mantle of the Seelie Courts, so powerful magic and agile melee combat are both guaranteed. The second season is set to be released at a later date - stay tuned for more details!
