Character customization added
All good multiplayer games need a bustling community, and from the sound of it, the PC combat title Chivalry: Medieval Warfare has its fair share of players. Upwards of 1.2 million copies have been sold in its first nine months, according to developer Torn Banner Studios. There’s even an infographic breaking sales down by region.
On that note, a relevant update for the game on Steam adds character customization and a number of other changes/fixes, should you want to stand out above the crowd (even if you gotta shout out loud). There’s a full list of what’s new in Content Update 2 below.
I’m not a Chivalry player myself — that last Steam sale was this close to pulling me in — but I do respect the hell out of Torn Banner. Well-deserved success, as far as I’m concerned.
