Tecmo Koei has announced 'troop command action title', Bladestorm: Nightmare, for release on Xbox One, PS3 and PS4 in early 2015. It's the sequel to 2007's Bladestorm: The Hundred Years War. You'll assume the role of a mercenary fighting for either England or France in a series of missions inspired by historical events.

Taking place during the Hundred Years War, a conflict that raged between 1337 and 1453, Bladestorm: Nightmare enables you to represent the English House of Plantagenet or the French House of Valois. You'll command melee, mounted, ranged and other troops, while developing your own unique character, building their fame, gold and army.

The game will also feature a 'Nightmare' mode, which includes an original scenario that's not grounded in real historical events. It'll include 32 playable characters based on iconic historical figureheads of the time, such as Edward the Black Prince, Jean D'Arc and military leader La Hire.

Bldestorm: Nightmare is coming to Xbox One, PS4 and PS3 in early 2015. Check out some screens below. You'll find more in the gallery.

  • Kingdom under fire
  • I'm excited for this, the first one was awesomely interesting. This looks crazy, keep us informed.
  • Why no 360 version when there's a Ps3 version? Weird.... Reminds me of Bound by Flames, came out for everything but Xbox One..
  • I like how all the archers are literally the exact same model. Lol.
  • Those graphics are atrocious
  • The Clone Wars.
  • I don't remember dragons being part of the 100 Years War.
  • Sequel? Everything I've seen on the game says its a remake with additional content.
  • @7 Read the whole thing idiot
  • game looks pretty good the first one was good :-) i just hope the achievements arent glitched...on the first one i have completed the whole game and done the extra missions to get the avatar of war come see me but my 18th achievement is not unlocking...but either way im gonna check out this game
  • @8 You're right. The article is wrong.
  • I loved the first one. I will be picking this up.
  • also the graphics aren't that bad because when you play the game you can't see all the characters faces anyway. Why create high detailed graphics for faces you won't see that will just take up GPU space. The environment looks great for a NON AAA title.
  • We dong get DW8 Complete Edition and we dont get Samurai Warriors 4... the main releases for the main Koei series yet we DO get Bladestorm. Baffling decisions over at Koei in my opinion but its nice to see the Xbox One get more unique and varied titles none the less. Ill look into getting it - couldnt get into it the first time round but in those days i had too many games to play at the same time, same cant be said for these days.
  • They sure this is not for the PS2 also? :/
