Triternion has announced that its medieval first-person melee game, Mordhau, will release on the PC on April 29th. In Mordhau, players will enter a hectic battlefield of up to 64 players as a mercenary in a fictional, but realistic world, where they will get to experience the brutal and satisfying melee combat.
Here are the game’s key features:
- Massive battles: From small-scale engagements to 64-player all-out war in modes such as Frontline and Battle Royale.
- Cooperative & offline play: Fight waves of enemies alongside your friends in the cooperative Horde mode, or practice your skills offline against AI.
- Free-form melee and ranged combat: Gain complete control over your character and attacks and develop your unique style.
- In-depth character customization: Sculpt your face, create your weapon from parts, and pick out individual pieces of armor to create the perfect warrior.
- Huge arsenal of weapons & equipment: Take on enemies with a greatsword, rain arrows from above, or even sit back and build fortifications.
- Fight anywhere: Experience cavalry charges, fight on ladders, and operate siege engines such as the catapult and ballista.
- Visceral and gory combat: Feel the impact of every blow, and send limbs flying as you wreak havoc upon your foes. (Blood & gore are optional)
- Believable fights: A game where fights look believable, MORDHAU strikes a balance between gameplay and realism.

Super excited. this game is like chiv with vastly improved combat
another day another garbage online game with dead playerbase in europe after a week.
Why garbage? Chivalry was great because of its uniqueness (melee combat) and Mordhau is going to be its spiritual successor. People still play Chivalry, but it’s already 7 years old and this kind of refreshment is always welcome.
are you really this stupid?
Please explain to me what you mean by this.
a game with average 2000 concurrent players is pretty dead when it comes to finding an online match, chivalry is a game that has been discounted 90 percent many many times, it’s been given away for free on many places and it has average 400 players. its all time peak is 24k players. 24k players was when market wasn’t saturated with online games, these days indie studios shet out new online games left and right and most of them are instantly dead. paying for online games is same as burning your money or throwing it in trash can.
IDK, I think there is a market for this kind of game. Chivalry was alive for a long time on its own, without huge discounts and giving it away for free.
There are lots of Chivalry fans bored with the original game but ready to populate Mordhau’s servers as soon as it’s released. Also, it’s not like it tries to be a copy of some AAA title (which sets games up to a fail really often). There are really few games like this.
By the way, Apex lost its momentum, Fortnite’s player base is kinda different from the kind of people who like Chivalry/Mordhau and PUBG is long past its prime.
“I think there is a market for this kind of game.”
considering i gave you statistic and real numbers, you’re either not thinking or just stupid. that made me stop reading your useless comment.
“a game with average 2000 concurrent players is pretty dead when it comes to finding an online match”
I don’t get it, even with 64 player servers only, you could fully populate 31 servers with 2000 people.
You give me some stats but why do you ignore the fact that the game’s heyday passed a long time ago?
Chivalry was a success and has many fans.
Oh, and even with 64 player servers only, you could fully populate 31 servers with 2000 people.
Niche titles like this have never been ultra popular (barring short-term popularity spikes due to free weekends, etc.), but it doesn’t mean they’re dead.
You may simply not be familiar with the dynamics of such games. Your bashing of games just because they’re focused on multiplayer seems to suggest this.

Can you add in the title if its steam or epic, so I could instantly ignore the game
Seems good and well done! Multiplayer only is a big down for me..
So no single player? Imagine medieval melee action adventure with a story, different melee actions (battles), a little bit of stealth and dialogues. Something like more action-packed and linear brother of Kingdom Come. This is not a brother of KDC, this is worse.
“This is not a brother of KDC, this is worse.”
This is different. Devs (especially smaller teams) can’t really choose to introduce both SP and MP without huge compromises, so they chose their easier to make (but still valid) vision of a game where players fight other players. There’s a market for this kind of game, and we haven’t seen one since 2012.
I understand, I dont bash them, its just a little letdown for me. Aside from Chivalry there was at least 1 other MP melee action game in several years and there are few survival MP titles with solid combat like Conan Exiles. But
SP melee action “brother of KDC” is more rare. So for me they didnt choose wisely, especially after success of KDC. 🙂
will it have microtransactions?
