As he fell from his horse at the battle of Bosworth Field, Plantagenet king Richard III called out “lol wtf gief horse”. This Richard III will be sitting at his PC, playing medieval multiplayer-focused battler War of the Roses. Developers Fatshark, who made Wild West shooter Lead and Gold, are including a cursory singleplayer campaign in their upcoming game, but as studio head Martin Wahlund explains, the emphasis is on multiplayer.
“We want a huge skill component like Mount & Blade, but we’d also like to make it a bit more accessible. It should feel natural: like the way you start playing Battlefield or Modern Warfare. You don’t have to be a pro before you start playing, so when you get attacked you should get a feeling for how to defend yourself.”
