After nearly a year of silence following its last-minute delay, Kingmakers resurfaces with an extended gameplay video and new playtest

Nearly a year after its delayed launch, Kingmakers has resurfaced with a detailed gameplay video and an invitation for players to join a playtest. Redemption Road, the game's developer, released a deep dive trailer that showcases the core gameplay mechanics, which include leading armies, building settlements, and collecting resources.

However, the developer also acknowledged the awkward cinematic interludes, which are seemingly only for the trailer and not part of the actual game. Despite the mixed feelings about the game's premise, the trailer highlights the appeal of combining high-tech weapons like the Leopard 2 with more traditional combat methods. The Kingmakers playtest offers an early opportunity for gamers to experience the full game and provide feedback on its direction.

As of now, no release date has been announced, with the game still listed as 'coming soon' on Steam.
