Kingmakers – Official Trailer | IGN Fan Fest 2024

At first, Kingmakers looks like an ordinary sandbox game in the style of chivalry. But watch a little more of the first trailer — about 23 seconds in — and you'll see so much more.

[Ed. note: Spoilers below for Kingmaker's twist.]

The game, developed by Redemption Road Games (Road Redemption) and published by tinyBuild, is not just a strategy game. You play as an elite task force, according to a press release, who have been transported 500 years back in time to medieval England to prevent a future apocalypse. And you do this by using your modern technology — from weapons to vehicles of all kinds and even airstrikes. In the trailer, you can see the player character rolling over hordes of soldiers with his truck, an attack helicopter and various weapons including a shotgun and a sniper rifle.
