Lionhearts: The Medieval World That Players Control
Credenzio Studios, the Colorado-based developer behind the popular ROBLOX experience Lionhearts: Crusade that reached over 6.3 million plays since 2018, is now bringing their medieval vision to life as a standalone Unreal Engine 5 title.
The Kickstarter campaign launched seeking $100K in funding, with over half already pledged by enthusiastic backers. What makes Lionhearts special? It’s the complete player-driven experience in a historically authentic 12th-century world during the Third Crusade.
| Feature | Details |

| Factions | 16 different medieval factions |
| Career Paths | 60+ options across 14 guild types |
| Kingdoms | 12 player-run kingdoms |
| Religions | 4 different faiths to follow |

Player-Driven Medieval Politics and Warfare
Unlike traditional MMOs where NPCs control everything, Lionhearts puts real players in every position of power. Want to become a knight? Work your way up the military hierarchy. Prefer trade? Build a merchant empire. Religious calling? Ascend to bishop or higher.
The game promises seamless server meshing technology, creating a single persistent world without loading screens or server hopping. Every castle siege, diplomatic negotiation, and trade deal impacts the entire medieval ecosystem.
Inspired by titles like Mount and Blade: Bannerlord and EVE Online, Lionhearts combines historical authenticity with player agency. The developers emphasize historical plausibility while giving players unprecedented freedom to shape their medieval destiny.
For gaming enthusiasts following emerging MMO trends, Lionhearts represents the next evolution of player-driven worlds. The ambitious scope includes everything from commanding retinues to navigating complex political relationships. Check out the official Kickstarter campaign and add Lionhearts to your Steam wishlist for updates.
