King Arthur: Knight's Tale News

The wait is over soon, so prepare yourself, the journey in Avalon is about to begin:

[h3]Knight's Tale launches today at 7 PM CEST.[/h3]

Until then, come and join the game's official Discord. Whether you have questions or just want learn more about the game, you will be at the right place. You are busy? Don't worry, we will do a developer Q&A stream tomorrow at 4 PM CEST which will be recorded as well. If you have some questions, you can submit them here so you can catch up really quickly!

[h2]Avalon awaits![/h2]

The final day! 24 hours (give or take 1-2) remain! The full game will come out tomorrow on Steam, the plan is to update things around 7PM CEST.

A few notes:

The Kickstarter backer rewards will be distributed in the coming days (this might take a day or two), but you'll get everything you're eligible to via email, similar to the Steam keys. Make sure to check your account regularly, or if you lost access to it in the meantime, reach out to us over at [email protected].

If you already added the game to your Steam library, the game will automatically update from Early Access to the full release when it is up. Restarting Steam could help if it is not updating.

Your Early Access save files most likely won't work for the full release. This is unfortunate, we know, and we're really sorry about it, but many things have changed in the whole game and old save files might break things quickly. We wouldn't recommend using old save files anyway, due to the amount of changes implemented - things break easily in game development.

We also have a few more cool things and announcements in our pockets:



We're happy to share with you that Cas from Fextralife will be voicing Sir Lancelot in Knight's Tale! You might know Fextralife from their amazing wikis, guide, YouTube and Twitch channels, and you'll be able to meet Cas in Avalon too.

We have a new trailer, just in time for the release, the folks over at IGN have it. You can watch it here:

And finally, we'll do a developer Q&A stream on Wednesday 4PM CEST, be sure to join us as we check out the full release, talk about the game, the development and most importantly: answer your questions. If you already have some questions in mind, you can submit them over here, or just hang out in the Twitch chat and send them there while we're streaming. Alternatively, you can find us on our Discord too.

[h2]Knights,[/h2]

Exciting days ahead, the full release is here soon, in a week! We were very busy finishing the game and can't wait to share the full experience with you. We've got a lot in store until then - first off, how about a quick teaser from the upcoming release trailer?



Also, in case you haven't yet done so, don't forget to sign up to the newsletter on our website. Those, who sign up will receive an exclusive IVORY DFENDER skin for Sir Mordred upon the full release. You can check out this awesome skin and sign up here.

[h3]Backer rewards[/h3]

As a Kickstarter backer, you should already have the Early Access version on Steam - if not, check your mailbox for a Steam key, or send a message to us and we'll sort things out - which will automatically update on April 26 to the full version. We'll be back early next week with news on when this update will go live precisely on this day. So just in case you were wondering, you won't need a new key or anything else, just let Steam update the game files when it is up.

Regarding digital backer rewards, we haven't forgotten about them, and you'll receive them via email (similar to the Steam keys) around the full release as well, whether it was a digital soundtrack, or a digital map or something else. Those who got the chance to name an item or an NPC in-game, and replied back to our requests with an item/NPC name, will see theirs in-game also in the full release. We'll only spoil them if you really want to see the items in advance, in this case message us and let us know.

As always, you can find us on Discord all the time (especially now during the release period), and feel free to DM us here or on any of our social sites if you have questions regarding the game or the backer rewards.

[h3]Avalon awaits![/h3]

We have decided to move the release date of King Arthur: Knight's Tale from March 29 to April 26.

Content and gameplay-wise, King Arthur: Knight's Tale is mostly finished and ready for release, but over these additional four weeks we'll be focusing on improving voice acting and finishing localization tasks, in addition to testing, ensuring our players get the best and smoothest launch experience possible.

It wasn't an easy decision to make, but still, we think it was the right one, as our intention is to release a game we can be proud of. We'll use the additional time to iron everything out properly. At the same time, we'd like to apologize for making you wait (again) a tiny bit longer, and would like to thank you all for your continued support.

As always...

[h2]Avalon Awaits![/h2]

This past year flew by so fast! We've launched a successful Kickstarter campaign back in October, 2020, followed by an Early Access launch in January, 2021. Now, a bit more than a year later we're getting ready to launch the full release of King Arthur Knight's Tale (March 29, 2022 as previously announced)! We'd like to thank you all for joining us early, whether joining the Kickstarter or the Early Access on Steam, supporting us and the project.

As said many times before, we'll have three more Acts, a post-campaign endgame and hours and hours of gameplay awaiting you in the full release. The game got much bigger than planned.



[h2]Beginner guides[/h2]

Spoiling the rest of the story till the release would be a bit cruel, so no spoilers from now on, but until then, here's a collection of new blog posts for new players, diving a bit more into the game's mechanics, such as the RPG elements, Camelot management and so on. Treat them as beginner's guides. We'll have more of these as we're getting closer to the full release.

Whether King Arthur: Knight's Tale is your first turn-based game or you're a seasoned veteran of the genre, it's good to take a step back from time to time, and revisit the foundations:

• It's your turn - The basics of Knight's Tale

What builds your character? In the post linked below we will focus on the game's RPG elements - beside the tactical combat, there is a lot to explore in character building and moral choices:

• This builds character - RPG elements

King Arthur: Knight's Tale is unique in the turn-based tactical genre in a way that it mixes RPG, roguelite, and also base management elements with the turn-based tactical gameplay, and creates a unique experience. It's time to put our focus on Camelot and hub management:

• It's not a model - Rebuilding Camelot

No castle would be complete without some knightly jousting, right? That's why - and thanks to the generous support of our Kickstarter backers - PvP is available in King Arthur: Knight's Tale, for those looking to hone their battle skills against fellow players. The optional game mode plays out on three different maps, each with their own unique look and layout, each favoring different strategies and compositions. Let's just check it all out, shall we?

• Let's Joust! - PvP in Knight's Tale

International Women's Day has arrived and we considered it as a great opportunity to highlight some of the female heroes in King Arthur: Knight's Tale. You might know these characters from the broader Arthurian myth - these names appear in very early texts like Le Morte Darthur or The Mabinogion, and these figures had their own changes and stories in later centuries. This diverse cast of the myth is still inspiring writers and artist to this day (Routeledge has an excellent anthology titled Women of the Arthurian Legend, for example).
