Knight's Path — Official Gameplay Trailer

Don't pay attention to the morons saying you're stealing from KCD. Ignorance is very Brave.

Thank you. That is completely fine. Most people cannot see the nuances that armor experts and historians can, and this is simply their first impression. I believe that as more people get to know Knight’s Path, they will begin to notice the differences and better understand what we are trying to achieve.

@Knightly_Hist "There's too many good medieval RPGs" Said noone ever 😂 Also I love that there are fantasy elements. The tales and legends about dragons and magic were an integral part of medieval folklore and allowing them to come to life seems only natural.

@Knightly_Hist 💯

Wishlist on Steam: Watch on Youtube: Knight’s Path is a story driven action RPG set in a grounded low fantasy world inspired by the Holy Roman Empire. You play as Alryk, a young disgraced noble who has lost everything and is forced to rebuild his life from nothing. What begins as a struggle to reclaim lost status slowly grows into a deeper calling. As Alryk, you come to realize that the people of Eranthold need you. How you respond is your choice. You may walk the knightly path, embracing duty, sacrifice, and service to others, or act out of self interest, seeking personal gain and comfort. Through discipline, hardship, and choice, your decisions shape what kind of knight Alryk becomes and what his name will come to represent. This trailer features real gameplay footage, showcasing grounded melee combat inspired by Historical European Martial Arts, atmosphere, and the world of Eranthold.

People are so used to historically inaccurate details in movies and TV (id est, the "brown leather" meme), that when several video games base their art design on copious real world medieval resources, it seems like "stealing" from the last work. Great trailer btw, very hyped!

Pretty much. That is why those reactions are understandable. Hopefully, now that the gaming scene is increasingly depicting medieval times more accurately - KCD, Half-Sword, Manor Lords, and others - the film industry will start following the same path, and we can finally see a true medieval renaissance 🤗 One can hope, right?

Absolutely. That would be great to see.

I close my eyes for a second and suddenly its already on steam.

Looks cool, I was at first thinking "oh okay it's like real life" then I saw the dragon & I got hyped, nice. Hopefully it comes to PS5

Thanks, happy to hear you like it!

@EndymionYT Can I assume since you didn't respond to the part about PS5 that there's no hope for a console port or has that not been decided yet? I'll continue to follow your stuff either way since it's cool what you're making, just curious since I don't own a gaming PC.

......Guys....KCD 1+2 don't own the market on medieval aspects

Thank you! We are actually good friends with Warhorse, I don't think that would be the case if they would think we are stealing their assets.

So this was what that announcement was about. Looking good. Also lol at the people saying the game assets look like KCD. I've heard the same with Manor Lords as well. Like, guys, games inspired by the early 15th century Holy Roman Empire are going to look similar.

Thank you! I mean what about games and movies from ancient Rome or World War 2, they also look all similar, aren't they? If we want to take the historical inspiration seriously we cannot start inventing some bullshit.

Exactly. Must be because there aren't that many historically inspired open world medieval games out there.

Wow awesome looking work! Great job O:

Thanks man, appreciate it!

I think that being compared to kcd2 is actually a great compliment. Looking forward to this game I hope it comes out for Xbox.

Oh definitely - one of the biggest praise possible!

Don’t Vavra this, it looks promising!

I had a verbal outburst at how freakin sweet that black armor looked at 0:51 ... so badass

Thats lovely to hear!

Everyone keeps saying these are assets from KCD1 but looking at the game and this trailer, they have similaries but clearly arent the same. I also assume based on the era and region these kinds of buildings would have similarities.

Naturaly, historical armors and architecture have similarities :)

I love demo you guys have in steam, I made the mistake of trying to fight the wandering knight on the hardest difficulty and he handed my ass to me like no other character in the game haha

Well we didnt call it HARDCORE for no reason! 😅 Happy to hear you enjoyed our concept combat demo. If you liked that, you will love what we are cooking now!

More power to you man. Deliver a masterpiece.

Mixing this aesthetics with Fantasy is something we all need

Does no one else see the basically reused Rattay layout in almost all these shots

What?

It looks like a lot a lot of inspiration was taken from KCD that’s all

Our game is inspired in 15th century Holy Roman empire, especially Bohemia and Bavaria, so naturaly there will be some similarities.

It’s neat, and the game looks really fun. I was just pointing out some similarities I noticed that’s all

This combat looks so fun, can't wait.

No woke shit? Nice, must buy.

Is there a shield? I prefer using a shield.

Yes!

Will there be other weapons like maces, flails warhammers and shields?

Yes!

Will there be blunt weapons for fully armored enemies like in Medieval times?

Yes

Amazing work yall, can’t wait to play this

Fuck yes holy fucking soy this game looks amazing Im freaking the fuck out its everything Ive ever FUCKING wanted in a game. It reminds me of Stellar Blade in how its not bending the knee to the woke mob. Speaking of which, can we get a #FreeStellarBlade from the devs?

What is your opinion on gay sex scenes in medieval video games or magical black NPCs in medieval Europe?

I’m interested, looks fun to control

YES!

this is the reaction y’all are getting for no reason

This looks sooo lit 🔥

Thanks for leaving the faggotry out of the game.

This is nitpicking, but is her outfit historical? It kinda looks like generic ren fair clothing to me. Especially that brown vest/corset thingy

Good catch! Her dress is just a placeholder as we didn't start working on non-armour clothing yet.

That's amazing to hear! Now I'm curious, will there be the option to not wear any Armor whatsoever? If I remember correctly, the lowest tier I've seen in the Armor Videos was textile Armor.

Oh yes, we modelled pretty nice medieval underwear for the player character :)

Get that speed up just a little for combat and you're golden

No consoles?

First Steam release and then we will try to release the game on consoles! :)

Could be cool!

This looks really good guys, great work.
