PARIS (June 1, 2026) – Publisher The Arcade Crew (Drop Duchy, Abyssus) and solo developer Regal Pigeon Games today announced Chivalware, a brand-new roguelite adventure that blends real-time, rapid grid-based combat and deeply satisfying tile matching in a nonstop, dance-like battle that will send you into the deepest flowstate you’ve ever experienced. Don’t believe us? Try out the game’s debut demo on Steam today.
Today’s reveal was accompanied by a brand-new trailer showcasing Chivalware’s novel, genre-blending action, all set to a delightfully charming pixel art style. Chivalware will launch on PC this autumn:
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.
With each run, seek to progress as far as you can through four distinct biomes with eight total bosses who will stop at nothing to take you down. Match tiles, charge your abilities and don’t get hit. Easy to begin, 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.
Think you have what it takes? Try your luck in today’s demo, which grants you access to the game’s first biome, boss and playable character, The Disk Knight, and even a higher-level Difficulty Mode for the bravest of souls.
Did we mention the weaponry is floppy disk based?
