Raw Power Games is a studio that has announced Chronicles: Medieval, a strategy-action RPG set during the Hundred Years' War, with a live demo shown at gamescom 2026 and Early Access planned for early 2027 on Steam with Japanese support confirmed.
Raw Power Games first surfaced with the announcement of Chronicles: Medieval, a sandbox strategy RPG set during the Hundred Years' War. The game blends open-world action RPG elements with strategy gameplay. Players start as a soldier with no status, gather companions, build fortresses, and command large-scale battles featuring up to 2000 units on screen at once using Unreal Engine 5.
At an online media event, the studio revealed that Danish actor Lars Mikkelsen would appear in the game as Johann Schuttenberg and provide in-game narration. Mikkelsen, known for roles in The Witcher and House of Cards, brought a high-profile voice to a historically grounded sandbox strategy title. The event also confirmed the Holy Roman Empire as a third playable faction alongside England and France.
At gamescom 2026, Raw Power Games showed the first live gameplay, more than two years after the game was announced. The demo confirmed the core loop: top-down tactical unit placement in the style of Total War combined with first-person mounted combat in the style of Mount & Blade, running as one continuous experience. A morale system can rout entire armies. Early Access is planned for early 2027, with Japanese interface and subtitles confirmed on Steam, a shift from the earlier 2026 Early Access window.
