Liegecraft, the debut title by indie studio From Chaos, promises to reinvent 4X strategy with a strong narrative edge. Developed by a team of ex-CD Projekt Red, Paradox Interactive, and 11 bit studios members, this medieval strategy RPG invites you to command a kingdom teeming with ambitious vassals and unpredictable alliances.
As a monarch, you manage feudal economics, reward loyalty with land and titles, and navigate your subjects’ complex personalities. Every decision shapes the trajectory of your realm, whether it’s resolving disputes diplomatically or quelling unrest through force. Inspired by Civilization and Crusader Kings 3, Liegecraft emphasizes meaningful choices and the ever-present intrigue of medieval statecraft.
Beyond its deep turn-based strategy, Liegecraft also delivers immersive real-time moments, such as feasts, hunts, and tense duels that shape relationships and power dynamics. Each playthrough promises a unique world map and cast of characters, enhancing replayability with procedurally generated scenarios and robust modding tools.
Players can dive into a sandbox of kingdom building, military conquest, and interpersonal drama, or experiment with user-created adventures through the map editor. With its blend of RPG storytelling and strategic gameplay, Liegecraft aims to captivate fans of classics like Heroes of Might & Magic 3 when it launches in Steam Early Access in 2025, below an overview, screens, and trailer.
