It didn't seem as if a thread had already been created regarding this upcoming game, so here's one now.
It's basically a late-medieval multi-player war game (it's said that there's single-player as well, which I really would like), and I think it's looking pretty cool:

Let's see what you guys think.

It looks like the combat might be interesting. I've always wanted a swordffighting game where you actually control the sword directly and damage depends on the angle, speed, point of impact, all realistically modelled and factoring armor and shields, rather than "press x, deal 10-30 damage to all opponents in 80 degree radius." There's been some indie attempts I've seen over the years that were pretty terrible at that :p

Reminds me very heavily of an old Source mod called 'Age of Chivalry'.

Yakoob: have you tried Mount&Blade? I've enjoyed it quite a lot.

Yeah, while the graphics looks like arse up close, Mount & Blade's combat is pretty damn good.
It's also amazing in motion, especially when you have larger battles consisting of mixed troops. Like being on the front line in a Total War game.

Naa but I've always heard great things about it, I probably should have snatched a copy in the multiple steam sales that occured over the years :/ It's MP-centric mainly IIRC, is it not?

God no, the MP for M&B is horrible.
M&B is all about roaming the countryside with your band of mercenaries mashing NPC bandits until you get enough prestige to become a vassal to an NPC lord, and shit.
And gutting peasants from horseback, ofc. That never gets old.
The MP is mostly skirmish badness against people who are way, way waaaay better at it than I am. (so YMMV, I guess)
