Chronicles: Medieval to Launch in Early Access as Mount & Blade 2 Rival

Developer Raw Power Games has delayed the early access release of Chronicles: Medieval to early 2027.

Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord will soon have a serious competitor. Raw Power Games announced that Chronicles: Medieval will launch in early access on PC in early 2027. The developers needed additional time to polish the game.

The concept of the project resembles Mount & Blade. The player will command armies and personally participate in realistic battles. After battles, players can freely explore regions of medieval Europe and trade with merchants in cities.

In a new video, the developers discussed army management. The army includes core fighters with high morale, poorly trained conscripts, and mercenaries. Mercenaries usually have low morale and require high maintenance costs.

Each fighter has a set of characteristics that can be improved through a progression system similar to Mount & Blade 2. At the same time, the creators promise 100% realism and real medieval powers, including France and England.

Chronicles: Medieval will be showcased at gamescom 2026, so new gameplay materials should be expected soon.
