1,290Chivalry 2 is a multiplayer first person slasher inspired by epic medieval movie battles. Players are thrust into the action of every iconic moment of the era - from clashing swords, to storms of flaming arrows, to sprawling castle sieges and more.
This week on Inside Unreal we’ve invited Torn Banner to have a discussion about the art and level design of Chivalry 2. They’ll cover the workflows they use to make huge multiplayer levels while keeping them performant during the chaos, and more!
