Chivalry 2: Reinforced Brings New Content Update

Chivalry 2 is a joy for fans of multiplayer battle games and medieval combat. Publisher Tripwire Presents and developer Torn Banner Studios are launching the game on Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass starting today with a significant update. New dual-wielded weapon options and an additional map headline the new version of the game called Chivalry 2: Reinforced. There’s some great stuff in this update for newcomers to the title, as well as fans who have loved the game from the start. Here’s what’s getting added!

Firstly, the major update to this well-reviewed game is the addition of Hippodrome. The new map comes tot he game via Team Deathmatch and Free-For-All game modes. You are set up in an arena built for horse combat that was introduced in the Tenosian Invasion update. Plus, there’s literal spike traps and flamethrowers to play with. Who could say no to that? The open spaces also invite players to joust each other, which is absolutely something I’ll be trying.

The first dual-wielded weapon to join the world of Chivalry 2 are also coming in the Reinforced update that is out today. The new weapons, the katars, are a matched pair of deadly, armor-piercing, daggers for swift close range attacks. Designed for the Ambusher class, it is a very fast stab weapon that does not interrupt opponents. This is a weapon that begs to be used by stealthy, technical players who aren’t afraid to dodge their way to an opening with their opponent.

Lastly, horse-mounted combat is getting added to existing maps The Raid on Aberfell (Team Objective) and The Siege of Rudhelm (Team Objective). People really seem to like this additional gameplay feature, but I’ll be honest, I’m horrible at it. I guess this update is a good excuse to dive back into Chivalry 2 and try to master my on-horse assaults. Let us know if you plan to play the game in the comments below!
