Kingmakers Deep-Dive Video Shows Modern Weapons In Medieval Wales

tinyBuild and Redemption Road released a roughly 12-minute gameplay deep-dive video for Kingmakers on September 15, 2026. The in-development title is an action-strategy sandbox set in medieval England, where the player travels back in time and fights with modern weapons. Small arms shown include submachine guns, assault rifles, shotguns, and grenade launchers, alongside vehicles and air support such as tanks, helicopters, motorcycles, and airstrikes. The stated goal is to make the Owain Glyndwr rebellion succeed and change history. Defeating enemies yields gold, silver, and copper, which unlock better equipment. A strategy view lets players order allied soldiers, construct buildings, and appoint officers. Co-op supports up to four players, each commanding their own army. Kingmakers is planned for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, with a Steam playtest planned soon.

Kingmakers Pits Shotguns Against Knights in Co-Op Time-Slip Strategy

At Bilibili World 2026, tinyBuild and Redemption Road showed Kingmakers, an action strategy game where players time-slip to medieval England and use modern firearms against knights and cavalry. The demo featured single-player stronghold capture missions, but the game is designed for up to four-player cooperative play. Executive producer Anton Pavlov said development took over four years, starting from the idea of making a game immediately understandable from its visuals. Guns range from shotguns to near-future laser weapons.
