Grand Ages: Medieval, the second installment in the Grand Ages strategy series, will be having a retail release on PC and PlayStation 4 on September 29 and a Steam release on September 25, publisher Kalypso Media announced today.
The game takes place during the High Middle Ages, starting in the year 1050 A.D. Players are tasked with building an empire and expanding its influence across Scandinavia, North Africa, the Caucasus, and the Middle East through politics, trade, warfare, and research advancing technologies.
It will also include an eight-player multiplayer mode for competitive strategy matches. Commands and protocols can be set to auto-dictate your actions should you need to take a break from the match. This will be especially helpful if you are playing with friends in different time zones and cannot coordinate a live play session.
