Free Company
Launches 13 November 2026 · PC · Indie, RPG, Simulation
A co-op tactical RPG set on the eve of the year 1000. Lead a free company of mercenaries across a doom-haunted medieval world. Take the contracts, win the fights, and decide what your company becomes before the millennium turns.
Story
The year is 997, and Christendom is holding its breath for the end of the world. You're getting paid either way. Free Company is a co-op tactical RPG about a band of sellswords carving a living out of a fracturing medieval world. From the Viking-raided coasts of the North Sea to the courts of Al-Andalus and the sands of the Maghreb. Recruit a roster of hard-bitten war-bands, take contracts from kings, bishops and caliphs. Or seize a place of your own. Settle every fight with deep, deliberate, turn-based tactics where a single bad decision can cost you a veteran forever. Play alone, or bring your friends into a shared campaign you can drop in and out of. The world waits for you. Key Features Command war-bands, not lone soldiers. Every unit is a named captain leading a file of men: a bracing spear wall, a shield line, a lone assassin slipping through the dark. Attrition whittles them and losing the captain is a wound that doesn't heal. Deep turn-based combat. Action points, reaction interrupts, cover, reach and shield walls. Maces and crossbows punch through mail; arrows don't. Fire panics horses. Permadeath means every fight matters. A living mercenary roster. Hire from...

Hire from a broad cast of captains: a disgraced Norman lord, an exiled Byzantine strategos, a Berber raider-chief, a heretic alchemist. Each with their own quirks, flaws and dry, needling banter.
