Warhorse Showcase Sword Fighting in Kingdom Come: Deliverance

The Kickstarted medieval RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance will be clashing blades in that age old way of settling disputes, but how exactly is developer Warhorse Studios going to accomplish this?

A new sword combat presentation trailer from the Czech Republic studio has been released explaining their approach to first-person sword fighting and the pitfalls that come with trying to create such a realistic portrayal of armour-clad warfare.

It's not all about swords of course but that's been their focus in the video. Kingdom Come is devoid of anything 'fantasy' as this RPG is all about pursuing an authentic medieval life. We get to choose how we play and how far we're willingly to go.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is roughly scheduled for Summer 2016 on PC, and a few months after on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. It's built using the latest versions of CryEngine from Crytek.
