Field of Glory II: Medieval News

There was a big information dump last night from Slitherine and Matrix Games - lots to unpick which we'll circle back to - but the biggest announcement of the night has to be the reveal of a new Field of Glory game.

Field of Glory II: Medieval takes place in the high middle ages, from 1040 through to 1270 AD (although, amusingly, if this was the table-top world that would all still be classed as 'ancients') and will cover everything from the Battle of Hastings to the Mongol invasions.

The material released so far is a bit vague either way, but this seems like it might be a stand-alone release and not an expansion for FOG2 itself. We had wondered what the team at Byzantium games were up to, since there hasn't been any new content for the ancients version of the game since Wolves at the Gate in May 2019.

Interestingly enough, if you look at our Field of Glory 2 DLC guide Bill goes into some theories as to what future DLC could be based on what book supplements were published for the Field of Glory tabletop game. Judging by what's left on the list, it all pretty much takes place post 1000 AD, so we imagine it's all going to get swept into Field of Glory II: Medieval.

Field of Glory started out as a tabletop wargame over a decade ago. Designed by Richard Bodley Scott, Simon Hall, and Terry Shaw, the tabletop ruleset redefined wargaming by introducing unprecedented production values as well as setting new standards for the hobby.

Richard Bodley Scott went on to port that experience for PC players and therefore gave new life to Field of Glory with Field of Glory II. Field of Glory II has been such an incredible success among wargamers worldwide, with over ten million multiplayer matches played in three years. It has 90% positive reviews on Steam and a Metacritic of 84 and has become a benchmark for the genre, so much that official tournaments attract hundreds of players across the world and the demand for new content is increasing fast.



The announcement of Field of Glory II: Medieval starts a new page in the franchise. Set in the High Middle Ages from 1040 AD to 1270 AD, which is the heyday of the mounted knight and the time when the entire European continent was in turmoil.

Field of Glory II: Medieval is a deep, maniacally researched game of battles. Armies, equipment, alliances, formations; everything is accurate to the finest detail.

It’s not a game for everyone, but a deep wargame for dedicated wargamers. But it is also a beautifully crafted product that is yet again delivering in its mission to redefine the wargaming experience and bring fresh life to the genre. It also expands boundaries by attracting new players to the franchise.
