War of the Roses Rides In With E3 Gameplay Trailer, Screens

Are all of those modern and futuristic warfare games beginning to bore you? Do you long for a game that lets you go back to fighting the old-fashioned way? If you answered yes, War of the Roses is looking to answer the call. It’s a team-based medieval combat PC game from Paradox Interactive, and a new trailer and screenshots after the jump take you back to a time when we fought with knights on horseback instead of soldiers in tanks.

In addition to a healthy dose of skirmish on horseback, the new trailer and screenshots show off some of the variety available for players to customize their own knights. Swordsmen, archers, and combatants of all description will have a chance to express themselves through a large combination of appearance options, all before entering battle against other brave champions, both equestrian and footed, as they aim to raise their swords up high in victory. That is, of course, if they don’t join a largely homogenous pile of crimson-soaked corpses first.

The game doesn’t have an official release date yet, but Paradox hopes to have it in stores early this fall.

Breanna has been gaming since infancy, if gnawing on an unattended controller counts as playing a game. One of the younger members of the Gaming Trend family, she dabbled in PC games as a kid but wasn't fully consumed by the hobby until the sixth generation of consoles. Now an avid PC and console gamer, she looks forward to the day when she can scape together enough cash to join the next gen club.

In the last week of middle school, a math teacher taught her how to program a calculator; she was pretty much hooked then and there. Currently working towards a degree in Computer Science and Applied Math, Breanna hope to someday make games instead of just writing about them. Other hobbies include playing guitar, binge-watching Netflix, and cooking delicious food.
