15 Best NEW Medieval Games of 2024

The medieval era has been a big place for video games to cut loose and have fun, and 2024 has multiple titles that reside in that period.

Update: We will continue to update this list periodically throughout the year, so you will likely see some games removed or added. These games are not ranked in any particular order, as the focus here is to showcase titles we are excited to see hit the marketplace.

#15 Kingmakers

Platform: PC
Release Date: 2024

This next game is a bit of a twist, as Kingmakers doesn’t solely put you in medieval times. Instead, it has you jumping back and forth between the past and the far future to try and stop the end of the world! So, yeah, no pressure there!

You are part of a society 500 years in the future where everything is about to end. The only chance to change things is by going back into the medieval era and attempt to change things for the better.

The good news is that you’ll have futuristic weaponry to help you on your journey. So load up, and hope that everything you do is enough.

#14 Dragon Age: The Veilguard

Platform: PC, PS5, X/S
Release Date: 2024

The latest entry in the beloved Bioware series has a lot of pressure on it, but you might be thinking of that as you attempt to save the day from a couple of gods. You’ll play Rook, a new hero in the land of Thedas who is charged with helping a group stop these gods from terrorizing the world.

Your companions will be numerous, but they are all unique, and they each have a story to tell. Plus, you’ll be able to romance them as you please, so pick the one you feel is best for you!

Dragon Age: The Veilguard takes things into the Action RPG setting, but it might be a breath of fresh air that fans will enjoy.

#13 Enotria: The Last Song

Platform: PC, PS5
Release Date: September 19, 2024

At first, Enotria: The Last Song doesn’t seem to be a true medieval title. However, it’s set within a place inspired by Italy, which was a huge part of that medieval age, so we’re going to let it slide.

When you arrive in this world, everything is still. As in, nothing is moving because of the stasis it’s in. You are the “Maskless One,” and you must travel through the world, defeat foes to get their masks, and then use them to elevate yourself to do more.

But what exactly happened to this world? Why are the “Authors” trying to keep it as it is? You’ll have to play to find out and save the world!

#12 Legendary Tales

Platform: PC
Release Date: 2024

Are you into VR adventures? If so, then you might want to check out Legendary Tales. The game aims to put you in the “ultimate fantasy experience” within the VR space by having you travel and fight across a magical world.

Further proving just how immersive the game is, you’ll have the chance to shape your character how you see fit. So, if you want them to act one way or another as you battle enemies, you can tailor the skill tree to suit your needs!

So what are you waiting for? Don your VR headset, wield your weapons and magic, and see what you’ll become!

#11 Kinstrife

Platform: PC
Release Date: 2024

When it comes to medieval action titles, they often try to recreate the “feeling” of being a medieval knight, but they don’t always succeed.

In the case of Kinstrife, they’re making a serious attempt to make things feel as they should. By that, we refer to how this is a nonlinear RPG and a world in which you can have fun. You’ll start off as a low-ranking squire and then go to battle to try and obtain victory, glory, and power.

Battles are truly hard-hitting, and if you’re not careful, you’ll be knocked flat! Survive these encounters, and you’ll slowly build yourself into a mighty lord of the land!

#10 Manor Lords

Platform: PC
Release Date: April 26, 2024

There are many titles that allow you to build up your kingdom brick by brick, but there are often restrictions that come with them. Manor Lords goes for historical accuracy and a type of organic building that’ll make you feel you have total control over what you construct.

You’ll start by building your home. Then you’re expand to create your own village. After that, you can expand your reach further until you have a whole kingdom under your watchful eye.

Defend it from invaders, and organically construct it to be the best dwelling in the land! What will your realm look like when you’re done with it?

#9 Noble’s Life: Kingdom Reborn

Platform: PC
Release Date: 2024

The Hundred Years War was one of the most important periods in European history and influenced a great many things that would happen in the centuries to come. In Noble’s Life: Kingdom Reborn, you are a noble who was tasked with fighting in that very war.

However, when you do so, your estate and surrounding lands are destroyed. Refusing to give in, you’ll take command and lead over the rebuilding of your home and the town around it and see just how big you can make things get.

The more decisions you make, the more your kingdom will grow. But you’ll soon see what kind of ruler you’ll be in these dark times. So be careful.

#8 Pax Dei

Platform: PC
Release Date: 2024

It’s not surprising that the medieval era inspired several MMO titles. After all, the idea of mixing might and magic within a gameplay experience on a grand scale is a natural wish. In Pax Dei, you’ll find just that.

Once you enter the game, you’ll be given the chance to “build your life” the way you desire. You can find a plot of land and start building a home upon it. You can venture off and join other players on quests, or you can do adventures alone.

In this world, all the myths and legends from medieval times are all around you, and magic is just as prominent. So prepare for what awaits.

#7 The Inquisitor

Platform: PC XSX|S PS5
Release Date: 2024

Welcome to a version of history that is both dark, violent, and possibly blasphemy.

In this land, a key religious figure went on a rampage and inspired a series of Inquisitors to go around the land and ensure their blood-soaked message was spread far and wide. You are one of those Inquisitors tasked with keeping the world “pure.”

When your duty takes you to a town full of corruption, it’s your job to figure out the cause and stop an ancient evil from crossing over into the world!

Your morality will be tested at every turn, and the story will bend to your choices.

#6 Beast

Platform: PC
Release Date: 2024

When someone returns to their home after a long time, they hope that all is as they remember it and that they can simply return to their life. In the game called Beast, that won’t happen for one Ottoman soldier.

He has spent a decade in captivity, and when he returns home, various evils have overrun his land, and a plague now grips its people. With nothing else to live for outside of duty, he will push forward and attempt to free the people of this curse.

Build your squad and combat various foes as you attempt to get the people’s freedom, and possibly, get peace of mind.

#5 The Thaumaturge

Platform: PC
Release Date: 2024

Plenty of RPGs out there will give you “moral decisions” to make to advance the story or your character development. But in The Thaumaturge, you will be getting this on a whole other level. The game makes some bold claims on how they’re using its isometric story-driven RPG to change how players view things, and they might just pull it off.

You’ll travel through a 19th-century Warsaw and attempt to ward off the supernatural entities that are invading your family home. But along the way, you’ll have to make decisions drastically affecting what happens to you later. So choose wisely!

#4 Robin Hood: Sherwood Builders

Platform: PC
Release Date: 2024

Plus, they can bring Pawns into their party to further bolster their power and influence! What will your quest look like?

#2 Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II

Senua is back, and her struggles in her mind and body aren’t close to being done. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II will pick up after the events of the first groundbreaking title. In it, Senua will have a new mission. She sets out to free people taken and hurt by a tyrant.
