Feb 26 update: The technical issues with Xbox users being unable to login to the Chivalry 2 Alpha has been resolved! Existing Xbox Insider users can login and play the the alpha immediately. However if you have not yet signed up and/or not downloaded the game via Xbox Insiders and do so now, it may take up to three hours to be able to login in successfully as the registration database does not update immediately. Please note: if you experience a “Missing String Table Error”, please restart your console.
We are also happy to announce that we are extending this Crossplay Alpha into the weekend, until Sunday (Feb 28) at 2PM PST/5PM EST. We are sending out 6k more Epic Games Store keys to our PC players, so be sure to keep an eye on your inbox to see if you’ve been sent a key.
The Chivalry 2 Alpha will be available to Xbox Insiders on Xbox One and Xbox Series S|X (via backwards compatibility) starting Tuesday, February 23 at 10 a.m. PST (6 PM GMT). Early sign-up is available now in the Xbox Insider app. Limited space is available and offered first-come first-served.
Chivalry 2 is a multiplayer first person slasher inspired by epic medieval movie battles. Players are thrust into the action of every iconic moment of the era – from clashing swords, to storms of flaming arrows, to sprawling castle sieges and more.
This time-limited test is referred to as Alpha Round 11, during which Xbox One players can join PC players using Cross-Play! In addition to the Xbox One, the Chivalry 2 Alpha is available on Xbox Series X|S consoles via backwards compatibility but does not contain any Xbox Series X|S enhancements at this time.
This Alpha Round includes two epic Team Objective mode maps (Dark Forest and Rudhelm), where attackers push through a sprawling battle towards a thrilling climax – and defenders try to stop them! Plus, sharpen your skills in competitive Team Deathmatch maps Wardenglade and Tournament Grounds.
Character Customization is available for the first time to all Alpha Testers. New controller layout and aim assist improvements for your Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S controller gives players a superior medieval combat experience.
Note: this round of testing will focus on the Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S (via backwards compatibility only) and PC, available to North American and European players. This round is also limited to 48 players maximum per matchmaking server – however, the game at launch will feature 64 players. There will be future tests involving other platforms as well. As Chivalry 2 is a fully cross-play title, it’s important to stage each phase of testing accordingly. PC players can apply separately at chivalry2.com/alpha.
