Rumbling Games Announces Knights of Light

Rumbling Studios has announced a new upcoming game called Knights of Light. The action-adventure RPG is set in the middle east during the medieval era and is based on actual historical events. The story revolves mainly around the climatic battles between the Sassanian empire and the Arab forces in Iraq.

The game will feature several playable side characters and one main character as the champion. The main characters and bosses will be based on actual historical individuals, making them rather unique as far as RPGs go. In a surprise that should not shock you considering the information just relayed, the lead game designer on Knights of Light was a contributor on the first Assassin's Creed.

However, despite all of the historical accuracy and realism, Knights of Light will feature a hidden fantasy path in the campaign that the player can tap into for some extra skills.

According to Rumbling Studios, the game will contain about 60 hours of playable content with two estimated DLC expansions. Although Rumbling has only worked with Sony before, they will publish the game on Xbox One and PC in addition to the PS4.

As part of the announcement today, the studio released two videos of the game in pre-alpha. The first video features the main character fighting with three enemies demonstrating the basic mechanics and animations as well as the reactivity and maneuvers of the AI. The development team noted that this is a very basic game footage and many mechanics have not yet been implemented, but you can check it out below.

The second video is a work in progress game world short. The game world is supposed to represent the land of Iraq in the seventh century with a huge size of 400 kilometers. The video overviews the landscapes of Iraq which are a beautiful mix between deserts and forests along with Kurdistan snowy heights. Some of the artistic Sassanian art like the temples and gardens were demonstrated in this video as well. You can check that out below.
