Kingmakers Resurfaces After a Year of Silence With 12 Minutes of Gameplay and a Steam Playtest
Redemption Road and publisher tinyBuild broke nearly a year of silence on Kingmakers on September 14 with a 12-minute gameplay deep dive and opened sign-ups for a Steam playtest. The third-person shooter drops you into medieval England with assault rifles, grenade launchers, armored SUVs, and helicopter gunships against thousands of AI soldiers in real-time battles, with kingdom building and up to four-player co-op. It was pulled from its 2025 launch at the last minute, and the Early Access release on Steam and Epic still has no date.
