Chivalry 2 Raiding Party Update is Here!
Chivalry 2 introduces cross-platform parties beta, a brand new Team Objective Map - The Sacking of Bridgetown, the Heavy Cavalry Sword, a new Campaign Pass - Raiding Party, a new gamemode - Mounted Arena, combat changes, and quality of life improvements in Chivalry 2's new Raiding Party Update! Read on below.
CROSS-PLATFORM PARTIES
We are excited to finally be releasing a beta version of this long requested feature to Chivalry 2, which now allows players to add players to their in-game Friend List from any platform through the use of friend codes. Each player has a unique friend code that can be generated. Once added, players can invite friends and create parties in the main menu, regardless of their platform. Please note that, while this feature is now available for players, it is currently in Beta - which means some bugs and issues can be expected as we continue to improve this feature. If you are having issues with adding a friend or joining a friend’s party, please attempt re-adding your friend or restarting your game.
New Map - “The Sacking of Bridgetown”
The news of King Argon’s victory against the Masons at Thayic Stronghold has spread across Agatha. The nobles of Irilla and the surrounding lands have come together for a decadent celebration, filling Bridgetown with laughter and joy. The wine flows and the noblemen dance to the music and cheers, this is surely a day that will be remembered for generations to come!
Outside the city walls the peasants toil in the fruitful vineyards that provided such an ample supply of fine wines for the festivities. The distant sound of the partying gentry is pierced by a harrowing horn, but this is no horn of the north. The workers grab what meager armaments they can and await the storm.
After successfully breaching the bulwark at Baudwyn the Tenosian Empire has begun the second phase of their invasion. In order to further their advance inland they must cross the river through Bridgetown. The Tenosian army will stop at nothing; setting the outlying farms and vineyard ablaze and defenestrating the cowardly nobles.
New Weapon - “Heavy Cavalry Sword”
With Weathered Heavy Cavalry Sword, Heavy Cavalry Sword, and Decorated Cavalry Sword skins
A new one handed weapon for the Man-at-Arms Footman Soldier and Knight Guardian, this sword has long reach and slow swings. In addition, it features incredible prowess on horseback in comparison to other weapons, having slash attacks that differ from its slash attacks on foot. This weapon can also be held forward while inputting a special attack on horseback. Lead the charge!
New Limited Time Arena Mode - “Mounted Arena”
Think you’re a good horseman? Looking to stick a lance into someone’s chest without any distractions? Prove it to the cheering crowd in this new 1v1 mode for Arena enthusiasts! Coming soon as part of our limited time queue rotation, two players on horseback challenge each other to a joust on Tournament Grounds with various weapons. The round doesn’t end until your opponent is completely defeated.
New Campaign Pass - “Raiding Party”
Like a traditional Battle Pass, players can complete challenges and earn in-game rewards such as currency and armoury items as they play. The Raiding Party Campaign Pass has no time limit, so you can earn rewards at your own pace.
Play the Raiding Party Campaign Pass at no cost to unlock free currency and armoury items, or upgrade to unlock premium rewards. The Premium Campaign Pass can be purchased for 1000 Crowns in-game.
New campaign select screen, and the ability to select the active campaign
New post match notifications of unlocks and campaign progress
New free campaign pass with 10 customization unlocks
New premium campaign pass available in the store with 30 additional customization unlocks
Horses on Lionspire!
Another map in the world of Chivalry 2 has had horses added to it. This time, horses stampede into the fan favourite map - Lionspire.

Intro to Upcoming Chivalry 2 Crossplay Parties (Beta Feature)
Good morrow, Knights! We’re coming to you today to talk a bit about crossplay parties, coming in the next update to Chivalry 2 in “Beta” form. As we continue to work through some of our last test cases, we’re excited to finally be able to share some details about the upcoming release of crossplay parties with you.
On release, the Invite Code system and crossplay party functionality as a whole will be in Beta. This means that players should expect that there may be some functionality that does not work 100% of the time. We want to be transparent with the community in saying that there may be cases where invites or parties do not work as intended.
We also wanted to share a brief explanation of how exactly the new crossplay party feature functions. In order to play in a party with someone on a different platform than you, you will need to add them as a friend via the new Invite Code system. This is the simplest way for us to connect everyone’s player profile data over multiple consoles and platforms.
First, navigate to the Social menu.
From the Friends list you will be presented with an Invite Code. You and your friend will exchange your codes with each other. Both you and your friend need to be online at the same time for the invite to be successful.
You will add your friends using their Invite Code and the Send Friend Request option, by pasting in their Invite code and sending the request. Once you’ve added each other you will both appear on your friends lists and can easily be added to parties with each other.
All of your friends across all platforms will appear on the existing Friends list in the Social menu.
As part of the beta period, we have a list of minor issues currently present that we are already working on resolving in the future which include:
A crash occurs when accepting a party invite after immediately being kicked from a party
New leader's name does not display for other clients on pop-up banner when old leader leaves
In game UI may be missing some players
While we don’t have a definitive timeline on how long this beta period will be, we are committed to improving the system during this beta period by ironing out these known issues (and more) while allowing players to play with and make use of crossplay parties.
We hope to provide you all with a more concrete release date as soon as we’re able to, but until then we’ll be marching towards finally releasing this feature as well as our upcoming 2.8 content update in the not so distant future.

2023 Roadmap for Chivalry 2!
Welcome to 2023, knights! We are doing a recap of changes to the game that happened in the month of January. We will also be providing a brief update of what you can expect throughout the next year for Chivalry 2.
New to Chivalry 2: Featured Events
This year Chivalry 2 will be hosting a selection of Limited Time queues that will appear on the Play menu. This year so far we’ve had The Last Team Standing and Free-For-All queues to choose and play from, and you can expect a new option to be playable this coming February.
Currently running until Feb 13th is a new 40-player Archer-only (bow and crossbow) gamemode called Volley. Play on Volley on three maps: Falmire, Galencourt, and Wardenglade.
Map Rotation Changes
In case you missed our social posts about it (feel free to join our Discord or follow us on Twitter to get the latest updates on Chivalry 2), we recently made two changes to maps appearing in various matchmaking queues. First, FFA Hippodrome has been removed from the FFA map rotation in the Standalone Servers, at the request of the Free-For-All community.
Additionally the frequency of Assault on Thayic Stronghold has reduced in the 64 and 40-Player Mixed Modes queue by 75%, and reduced for the Mounted Warfare queue and the Training Grounds by 50%. We have seen player concerns, and are in the process of reviewing performance issues with the Stronghold map. We hope to provide more information about this in a future update.
IN-PROGRESS for 2023
Cross-Platform Parties
New Team Objective and more Free-For-All maps
New Campaigns featuring new weapons, armors, and much more

New Campaign Passes
This year we will continue our Campaign Pass system that will feature many new weapon skins, armors and more for you to unlock just by playing Chivalry 2. Both free and premium campaign passes will be available. New Campaign Passes won’t override or replace old Campaign Passes, and more than one Campaign Pass can be active at a time.
New Maps
This year Chivalry 2 is excited to bring you multiple new maps. These new playable maps will include Team Objective maps of impressive scale, and additional Free-For-All maps as well.
