Mordhau, the popular multiplayer medieval melee game, has announced plans to bring the game to consoles, expanding its platform availability beyond Steam and the Epic Games Store. Developed by Triternion, an international team founded in Slovenia, Mordhau presents a range of game modes including Invasion, Frontline, and Horde, with 64-player battles already familiar to PC gamers. With new console versions coming soon, Mordhau is set to bring its big choices and brutal battles to a wider audience.
Console releases on the horizon
Triternion announced its plans to bring Mordhau to consoles, including the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox One, in August 2022. The ports are still “coming soon” according to the game’s official site, and are expected to offer a “clean slate” approach, with restrictions on cross-play between consoles and PCs.
Customizable characters for console players
Even though console players will not be able to go up against PC rivals, they will still be able to fully customize their characters, making selections about how those characters sound, what weapons they carry, and which armor they wear. Created characters should still be able to take part in 64-player battles already familiar to PC gamers. The console releases will also feature smaller maps such as Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Skirmish, which should be a good fit for console hardware.
Restrictions on cross-play
Triternion has noted some restrictions to cross-play. The console releases will offer a “clean slate” approach, with cross-play restricted to consoles only. If console players want to match up against PC opponents, they will need to play on that platform. The restrictions may work in their favor, as PC gamers have had years to grow acclimated to the brutal battles.
Expansion to consoles opens up new possibilities
With new players joining the battlefield all the time, and with more on the way once console versions drop, it seems Mordhau could have a long life ahead of it. The expansion to consoles offers new possibilities for Mordhau, bringing the game to a wider audience and expanding its player base. Mordhau is known for its large-scale, skill-based battles, and with the upcoming console releases, even more players will have the chance to experience the adrenaline rush of medieval combat.
