Chivalry 2’s Tenosian Invasion Update Brings Horses And New Maps

The Chivalry 2 Tenosian Invasion update has introduced horses, lances, and new maps to the game.

Chivalry 2 was one of the most chaotic games to be released last year. Putting a more cinematic spin on the medieval combat concept, the game spent nearly a decade in production as it built on everything that made the original fun.

The game has had a few updates since then, including the House Aberfell update earlier this year which brought a brand new objective map and playable characters. And now, Chivalry 2 has launched on Steam with the Tenosian Invasion update, bringing a whole kingdom of new content to sink into.

NEW MAPS AND FACTIONS

The Tenosian Invasion update for Chivalry 2 introduces two new team objective maps; The Razing of Askandir and The Breach of Baudwyn, which utilise some of the new features also introduced in the update.

Additionally, there are two TDM maps included, one based on Baudwyn called Desert and the other a revamped version of The Battle of Wardenglade called The Charge of Wardenglade.

As has always been the case with the Chivalry series, these maps combine skilled competitive play with slapstick comedy. They each offer something different to the core Chivalry experience while still retaining that fun vibe players enjoy.

With these new maps also comes a new playable faction – the Ottoman Empire-inspired Tenosia team, who also bring an exciting new feature with them.

HORSIN’ AROUND

With these new maps comes a whole host of fun features to play around with. The feature highlight of this update is the introduction of horses, something that Torn Banner Studios had on the cards for the game since before release. 

Horses are featured in The Charge of Wardenglade which acts as a mounted combat-oriented map, but are also included in the other three maps in this update. They will also be added to previous Chivalry 2 maps over time too.

WHAT ELSE IS IN THE chivalry 2 Tenosian invasion UPDATE?

That’s not all – the Aberfell Summer Update for Chivalry 2 also adds lances as a new weapon. These spears were historically used during mounted combat as a leading weapon during cavalry charges, so it makes sense to introduce them in this update. How long will it be until players start roleplaying as Don Quixote?

As with all previous Chivalry 2 updates, there’s also a bunch of new cosmetics and weapon skins to collect, as well as a whole plethora of quality-of-life updates to make the experience more enjoyable.

Chivalry 2 can be played on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, and the Tenosian Invasion update is live now on all platforms. You can find out even more about it by reading the patch notes over on the Chivalry 2 website. The game is also now available to purchase on Steam with a 40% off launch discount through to July 7th.
