Alpha 11 (Feb 23-28, 2021) brought to our attention a new unique login issue that only occurred on retail consoles. Xbox CrossplayĪlpha 10 (Dec 18 – Dec 21, 2020) was the first Alpha to include Xbox and provided a fairly clean first experience for Xbox players. These controlled Alpha sessions have helped us identify a number of problems that we’re able to address before release. One of our major goals was to feature crossplay across PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, and we’re thrilled to say we’ve made this possible! The complexity of crossplay isn’t without its challenges however. When we first started working on Chivalry 2 we knew it was going to be an ambitious project. With that said we are very happy with how things are trending towards release.Īt the end of the day, everything we’re doing is working towards better server performance, higher frames, smoother gameplay and a better overall experience for a variety of players on different systems and platforms. Optimizations can have some interesting symptoms, including but not limited to temporary issues such as:Īs is sometimes the case, things may get a little worse before they get better. To determine what works best takes some experimentation over the course of development, and these decisions can cascade into some positive and/or negative secondary effects until they become refined. The goal of every optimization is to either reduce performance costs or memory costs. Every Alpha has seen a greater number of new optimizations than the previous Alpha. From code, to environment art, to audio and beyond, almost every department here at Torn Banner Studios has been analyzing data coming in from Alphas and implementing optimizations to make sure the end experience is as smooth as possible for players on every platform. One of the biggest challenges we’ve been tackling each Alpha round is optimization across every platform.

Feature implementationĪlmost every Alpha has included new features and experiences for players. Each Alpha has been paramount in helping us define our design direction and narrow in on how we envision the end result. Experiencing the world of Chivalry 2 alongside the community was thrilling and nerve wracking for us. Since then we’ve held new Alpha rounds approximately every month. Our first Alpha kicked off in March 2020. We have read pages upon pages of feedback, and made thousands of fixes as we progress closer and closer to our exciting Jrelease date! Alpha Rounds 1 to 10

Each Alpha has brought with it new features to explore as well as new problems for our team to solve. Since the first Alpha began we’ve seen thousands of players, both new and old, charge onto the battlefield.

We won’t be touching on Beta plans today but rather will focus on looking back at the Alpha so far as well as the current state of development. We recently announced that the Closed Beta will be moving from March 26-29 to April 23-26.

Good evening to all the warriors out there waiting patiently for the full release of Chivalry 2! We recently wrapped up Alpha Round 11 (Feb 23-28) and thought it would be a good time to address where we are in development and how the Alpha rounds have been going, both for the players and for our development team.
