Popular video game publisher THQ Nordic has teamed up with indie game developer KITE Games for a new 13th century based real-time strategy game. This RTS is called The Valiant and it is mixing in elements of both action and role-playing games. Their aim is to bring a fresh experience to players wanting something new in the genre.

Players encounter a sweeping, story-driven campaign where each mission’s challenge is unique. Decisions both on and off the battlefield count, as players will want to select their forces carefully for each mission - there is no base-building here - as well as decide the skills and equipment given to each hero. With three unique skill trees per hero, there are plenty of options to explore when finding the playstyle that fits best.

This title also offers two different multiplayer modes: competitive and cooperative. While the game's campaign is designed as a single-player experience, 3 friends can enjoy the Last Man Standing mode together and hold their ground against waves of enemies, including mini-bosses and bosses. Success will be rewarded with experience to level up the selected hero, granting new skills and better stats for future challenges. The PVP mode offers 1vs1 or 2v2 scenarios.

The Valiant is planned to release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, Epic Games, and GOG. To drive the interest for the RTS fans out there, they released a gameplay trailer for the game as well. You can check that out below and then let us know what you think of this game in the comment!
