Kingmakers Releases 12‑Minute Gameplay Deep Dive Ahead of Early Access

Overview

• Developer Redemption Road Games and publisher tinyBuild published a 12‑minute gameplay deep dive that lays out Kingmakers’ core systems and opens signups for a forthcoming playtest.
• The video presents battles as fully real‑time simulations with 'thousands' of soldiers controlled by a multi‑threaded AI that handles pathfinding, decision‑making, and in‑battle loyalty.
• Kingmakers mixes modern firearms and vehicles with medieval warfare, showing assault rifles, grenade launchers, armored SUVs, attack helicopters, and air strikes used in a 500‑year‑old England setting.
• Players can seamlessly switch between third‑person combat and strategic command, assign unit types, build fortifications, and play cooperatively with up to two friends, each leading their own army.
• tinyBuild says Kingmakers will launch in Early Access on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store with no full release date yet and performance and AI claims to be tested during Early Access and playtests.
