Publisher THQ Nordic and developer KITE Games have announced that the medieval RTS game The Valiant will launch on July 11 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. A new trailer for the platforms was also released. Details about the previously announced PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions were not revealed. The Valiant first launched on October 19, 2022 for PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG. The Valiant follows Theoderich von Akenburg, “a former crusader knight who, after becoming disillusioned with the cruelty of war, is called back into action by events set into motion 15 years ago.”
The game’s details via the publisher:
Follow the story of Theoderich von Akenburg, a former crusader knight who, after becoming disillusioned with the cruelty of war, is called back into action by events set into motion 15 years ago when he and his former brother-in-arms, Ulrich von Grevel, stumble upon a fractured piece of an ancient artifact—the Rod of Aaron. A young monk named Malcom appears at Theoderich’s doorstep, bringing him news that the Rod contains power never meant for mortals, and Ulrich has become obsessed with finding the remaining pieces and unifying the rod, an event that could bring untold evil and suffering to the world.
Theoderich takes on the quest of locating the remaining relics to keep them from Ulrich and begins a journey that will lead him across Europe and the Middle East. Throughout his journey, he’ll meet many other warriors that decide to rally to the cause, from the old, seasoned Reinhard von Kempten of the Teutonic Order to the ambitious young mercenary Grimhild Eidottr and her Raven Company, each joining for different reasons, but slowly forming bonds that will keep through the trials and tribulations to come.
