Lionhearts is an upcoming MMORPG that takes players back to medieval times. It is an experience unlike any other, where players can build cities, train armies, and wage war against other players. This is the ultimate dream of medieval enthusiasts who have been waiting for an immersive and authentic experience that can rival the success of recent games like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, in a different genre.

Lionhearts Is Taking the MMORPG Genre to New Heights

The idea of Lionhearts started after the developers launched a game mode on Roblox in 2010, which gave Credenzio Studios the confidence and push to create a full-fledged project. Players fell in love with the concept of being leaders of a community and having full authority over their kingdoms. Roblox became the perfect platform for developers to try something new and to solidify their vision for what it could be in the future.

In a recent interview, Credenzio Studios took the time to explain how this project will stand out from other MMORPGs today. While the title of king is up for grabs, the developers realized not everyone is fit or has the desire for a throne, and this plays a major role in the project.

We have found most players do not have the ambition or stomach to become King – its too much work and responsibility. Ultimately, every single job and role in the game will have mechanics that allow the player to meaningfully contribute to their faction in a fun way.

The developers wanted to ensure that being king is not the end-all be-all objective in Lionhearts. Players can aspire to take lesser titles, but with hefty roles. There will be no scripted events, and anything that happens within the game will be completely up to the players.

Player choices will largely dictate how the drama will unfold. The developers shared a demo reel of Lionhearts, and this could be the start of something revolutionary for the MMORPG genre.

Limited positions are reserved for the most dedicated, competitive, and hardcore players. A squire
can meaningfully assist his kingdom while having fun participating in massive PvP battles, an artisan can craft unique goods that boost his retinue’s economy, and a priest can start a diocese and leave a lasting impact on the world.
