THQ Nordic Announces New RTS Action-Adventure Title The Valiant
THQ Nordic revealed a brand new game on the way from developer Kite Games with the RTS action-adventure game The Valiant. According to the devs, this game will have a greater focus on tactical combat with smaller forces rather than major battles. You'll need to carefully select your forces and make the hard choices both before and during battle to get the best outcome, with consequences on both sides if you lose. This includes deciding the best equipment and fighting style for each member. The game will also come with a pair of multiplayer modes as you can do competitive or cooperative.
You and three friends can take part in the Last Man Standing mode together and hold your ground against waves of enemies, including mini-bosses and bosses. Or you can switch over to the PvP mode for 1vs1 or 2v2 scenarios where you capture control points and build up forces. Bigger victories offer bigger customizations to use later. The game doesn't have a release date yet, but it will eventually be released on PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store. In the meantime, enjoy the trailer below!
