Mordhau Is Coming to Gaming Consoles in Late 2022, Developer Says

Multiplayer medieval slasher game Mordhau is coming to consoles later in 2022.

Triterinon, the game's developer, had recently announced it is working on adding Mordhau to gaming consoles later this year, allowing console gamers to experience the game as well, per Games Press.

Mordhau was previously released on April 29, 2019, for the PC through Steam following a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2017, per Gematsu.

Mordhau COnsole Edition Details And Features

Triterinon mentioned in its announcement that PlayStation and Xbox players would soon be able to experience Mordhau and the fun it brings. Players can create their very own mercenary down to the most minute detail - from how they sound to what weapons they initially wield and what armor they wear - to create their "perfect warrior" ready to charge into battle.

Players can take part in various game modes that can involve up to 64-player large-scale battles where players can attack and defend in the "Invasion" mode, fight for territory in "Frontline," or defend the Noble against enemies in "Horde."

Mordhau's game modes also include smaller-scale game modes that can put players head-to-head against each other, such as "Deathmatch," "Team Deathmatch," and "Skirmish."

As for weapons, players can choose from a variety of accouterments, such as swords, greatswords, axes, bows and arrows, and even mighty siege equipment. Players can also play as support for others through building fortifications.

The game also gives players the freedom to fight however they want, which includes cavalry charges, fights on ladders, and operating siege engines like the catapult and ballista.

Speaking of the game's combat mechanics, Mordhau provides players with "realistic" and "believable" fights that allegedly balance gameplay and realism.

It even allows players to dismember enemies however they like.

However, blood and gore are optional and can be toggled based on the player's preferences.

In the pursuit of realism, Morhau also gives players complete control over their character and attacks, allowing them to develop their unique style and combat technique.

It isn't known if Mordhau will perform as its more advanced PC counterpart, but hopefully, Triterinon will launch the game's console version as stable as possible.

Mordhau players on PC would remember that the game was buggy at launch. Some of these bugs have affected the game's resolution and the game itself, per Game Skinny and DBLTap.

In addition to these base features, the game will also feature crossplay for the first time, allowing players from the PC and consoles to play against each other freely.

Mordhau Console Version Release Date And Price

Triterinon did not share a specific release date in its announcement. However, Mordhau's official website says that the game will be available on the PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X and S, as well as the Xbox One.

While the game developer has yet to name the price of the game's console version, the game is currently available on PC for $30, per Digital Trends.
