{"title":"Tripwire Presents","description":"\u003cp\u003eTripwire Presents represents the external publishing division of American developer-publisher Tripwire Interactive, established in 2020 to extend the studio's expertise in successful franchise development and self-publishing into supporting independent developers across multiple platforms and genres through collaborative partnerships emphasizing mentorship, transparency, and shared commercial objectives. Operating from Tripwire Interactive's Roswell, Georgia headquarters under the parent company's leadership—which transitioned from co-founder John Gibson to co-founder Alan Wilson as interim CEO in September 2021 following internal controversy before Matthew LoPilato assumed permanent CEO responsibilities in April 2024—the publishing label emerged from Tripwire's expansion beyond its internal development of multiplayer first-person shooter and action role-playing franchises that had collectively sold over 20 million units, positioning the company to leverage accumulated industry knowledge and resources toward cultivating relationships with like-minded independent studios seeking publishing support without sacrificing creative control or partnership equity. The publishing initiative launched during Tripwire's independent operation under private ownership before the studio's August 2022 acquisition by Embracer Group positioned it within the Gearbox Software operating group, though Tripwire Interactive remained with Embracer following Gearbox's subsequent separation from the conglomerate while continuing publishing operations alongside internal development activities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTripwire Presents' publishing portfolio encompasses diverse genres and platforms spanning virtual reality tactical operations, medieval multiplayer combat simulation, vehicular combat experiences, and asymmetric multiplayer deception mechanics, with notable partnerships including Toronto-based Torn Banner Studios for their large-scale medieval warfare sequel published across PC and console platforms (though this relationship terminated in September 2021 during the aforementioned CEO controversy), Digital Lode for VR stealth infiltration experiences, and Sweet Bandits Studios for team-based social deduction gameplay. The publishing label's operational philosophy emphasizes collaborative development support rather than traditional publisher-developer hierarchical structures, providing marketing resources, distribution infrastructure, and industry expertise while maintaining partner studio creative autonomy and fostering long-term relationships through what the division describes as cultivation of \"strong partnerships through collaboration, mentorship and transparency\" designed to help independent developers navigate commercial release challenges. As part of Tripwire Interactive's broader organizational structure under Embracer Group ownership, Tripwire Presents continues expanding its catalog of externally-developed titles alongside the parent studio's internal franchise development, maintaining its 2020-established mission of supporting independent game creators while contributing to Tripwire's evolution from mod-community origins to multi-faceted developer-publisher operating across first-party and third-party content development.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"chivalry-2-pc-epic-digital-download","title":"Chivalry 2","description":"\u003cp class=\"lead\"\u003eChivalry 2 is a multiplayer first-person slasher that drops you into the chaos of 64-player medieval battlefields. Developed by Torn Banner Studios as the sequel to Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, this is large-scale melee combat at its most cinematic — castle sieges, cavalry charges, storms of arrows, and the kind of brutal swordplay that turns every match into a scene from your favourite medieval war film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Combat System Built for Depth\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of Chivalry 2 is a revamped melee combat system that rewards both newcomers and veterans. Players can chain slashes, overheads, and stabs into fluid combos, while advanced techniques like feints and dragging — adjusting your swing timing by moving your mouse or thumbstick mid-attack — add layers of skill-based mastery. The result is a fighting system that feels weighty and physical, where every landed blow carries real momentum and every duel demands genuine tactical thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eClasses, Subclasses, and Over 60 Weapons\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eKnight\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eThe heavily armoured frontline fighter, built to absorb punishment and hold ground.

Team Objective mode tasks players with layered goals — breaching castle gates, escorting siege engines, raiding villages, and defending throne rooms — creating a sense of narrative momentum that pushes battles through dramatic phases. Catapults, trebuchets, and ballista bolts add large-scale destruction, while the sheer density of 64 players ensures that no two matches ever play out the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMounted Combat and Environmental Chaos\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHorseback combat brings a new dimension to the battlefield, allowing players to charge through enemy ranks with devastating lance strikes or slash from the saddle with swords. Beyond conventional warfare, the environments are packed with interactive objects — from chickens and barrels to branding irons and fish — that can be grabbed and used as improvised weapons. Even severed limbs become throwable projectiles, blending the grotesque with the genuinely hilarious in a way that has become a hallmark of the series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExpression, Customization, and Cross-Play\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharacter customization runs deep, covering faces, skin tones, hairstyles, tattoos, armour appearance, and weapon skins, all earned through gameplay progression. Thousands of voice lines let you roleplay as a bellowing hero or a gurgling, battle-crazed warrior — and yes, you can keep shouting even after losing a limb. Cross-play matchmaking across all platforms means the battlefield is always populated, and cross-play parties make it easy to squad up with friends regardless of where they play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you are storming the ramparts or making a last stand at the gates, Chivalry 2 is medieval multiplayer combat at its most thrilling and unpredictable.
