    Floppy Disk Weaponry & Dance-like Grid Combat Collide in Chivalware, Brand-new Steam Demo Available Now

    Launching on PC later this fall

    PARIS (Sept. 14, 2026) – Solo developer Regal Pigeon Games and publisher The Arcade Crew (Drop Duchy, Abyssus) today announced a brand-new Steam demo for Chivalware, the roguelite adventure that blends real-time, rapid grid-based combat and tile matching in a nonstop, dance-like battle. Try out the demo today if you’re prepared to have an all-new meaning of the word flowstate. 

    Today’s new demo was accompanied by a brand-new gameplay deep dive into Chivalware’s genre-blending action. Chivalware will launch on PC this fall:

     

    Today’s new demo gives you access to three of Chivalware’s five playable characters, The Disk Knight, The Tank Knight and The Jester Knight. Additionally, over half of the game’s 80 floppy disk-based weapons will be available, alongside a huge portion of the 150+ available upgrades. Additionally, you’ll have access to two of the game’s four biomes and a brand-new challenge levels to test your prowess.

    Take on the role of a Disk Knight in a cyber meets medieval world filled with quirky citizens. The kingdom calls on you to slay its King, driven mad by power and years of isolation. But as you carve your way toward the castle, strange glitches suggest something deeper is at play…

    Cleverly match tiles on the battlefield in sets of three, earning and equipping new weapons to obliterate your opposition – all while weaving between real-time attacks in a grid-based battlefield. Permanently unlock new items, weapons and playable Disk Knights to evolve and diversify your playstyles in this daring quest to topple a king lost to a maddened state. 

    Match tiles, charge your abilities and don’t get hit. Easy to pick up, but a true challenge to master. Chivalware is not just a homage to one of gaming’s most beloved tactical adventures, but aims to evolve the genre with fresh new gameplay twists that will keep even veteran strategists with the sharpest reflexes on their toes.
