Hooded Horse to Publish Kinstrife, a Medieval Sandbox From Former Mount & Blade Modders

Set during the Holy Roman Empire’s Great Interregnum, the project pursues a non-linear, historically grounded medieval adventure.

Overview

  • The publisher partnership was announced alongside a new trailer and a live Steam page that is open for wishlists.
  • Kinstrife is being developed by Finitude, founded by Mount & Blade modders Khaya Ludidi and Christoph Rüger.
  • Players start as a squire in 13th-century Germany, build a retinue into an army, and take part in multi-sided clashes, sieges, duels, and tournaments.
  • Combat emphasizes physics-driven melee where weapon weight, momentum, and mounted charges deliver staggering, knockdown blows.
  • No release date has been set, with the PC game planned for Steam under Hooded Horse’s label.
