Booming Games announced the launch date for their upcoming beta for Conqueror's Blade today. Conqueror's Blade is an upcoming PC "world" sandbox medieval warfare title, recreating vast medieval civilizations, showcasing legendary weapons and fighting styles in a massive arena of war. Players team up to command powerful armies in the name of territory and glory. The developer also offered a more detailed look at their immersive "Big World" system, focused on providing a realistic environment for players.
The "Big World" of Conqueror's Blade is basically the game world map, its cities and its resources. The world provides players with the resources they will need at each stage to become stronger, providing training forces to build an army and ways to produce equipment for it. Some resources are designed for cultivation and others for grazing, and players must occupy the cities or areas where the resource is produced in order to procure it. The environment in Conqueror's Blade influences gameplay through a day/night cycle, weather systems and different terrains that influences speed of travel. The designers studied real-world maps and geography to ensure an accurate representation in the game.
Clan wars will be active in the Beta and the borders of each territory will expand or contract as a result of the battles. Players acting as soldiers in the game will be able to see the status of territory borders as they travel throughout the game world during a clan war, so players must be alert and ready to fight at any time.
Conqueror's Blade's beta will be available on Steam on January 14th.
