It&#8217;s been in development for more than four years and is due to launch into Steam early access early in 2027.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is a very real chance this will no longer happen, as developer Raw Power Games suddenly faces closure after funding for its game was pulled.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Raw Power Games posted a<a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/news\/app\/2231020\/view\/683017363938871451?l=english\" target=\"_blank\"> statement<\/a> to Steam and on social media channels (via<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/chronicles-medieval-developer-at-real-risk-of-closing-before-release-as-funding-no-longer-in-place\" target=\"_blank\"> IGN<\/a>), explaining how the studio has suddenly found itself in dire straits. &#8220;Due to circumstances outside our control, the necessary funding for Raw Power Games is no longer in place,&#8221; the studio wrote. &#8220;Without it, we can&#8217;t keep building Chronicles: Medieval, and right now the studio is at real risk of closing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This appears to be a sudden development. Through October, the studio had been posting regular development updates, including an<a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/news\/app\/2231020\/view\/683016729753820077?l=english\" target=\"_blank\"> incredibly detailed deep dive<\/a> on Medieval coats of arms and how they would appear in the game. None of it suggested a studio that&#8217;s in trouble, so it seems this has caught Raw Power off guard.<\/p>\n<p>By the sounds of it, Chronicles: Medieval isn&#8217;t all that far away from being done, either. Or at least ready for its planned alpha launch: &#8220;What makes it hurt is how close we are. Early access is within reach,&#8221; Raw Power Games writes in its statement. &#8220;The world we&#8217;ve been building for years is finally starting to feel alive, and we have so much we&#8217;ve been thrilled to show you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Chronicles: Medieval<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/raw-power-games-medieval-sandbox-sgf\/\" target=\"_blank\"> first appeared on our radar last year<\/a>, not without some controversy. At the time, Raw Power Games was super excited about using generative AI for its games. Not only was the studio using Midjourney to generate (terrible) concept art, but company COO Jakob Rasmussen told Danish newspaper Ingeni\u00f8ren that genAI was &#8220;at the core of our vision&#8221;, adding that &#8220;When the technology is ready\u2014and perhaps a little sooner\u2014we&#8217;ll be willing to stick our necks out and put it into the game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yet the company<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/chronicles-medieval-announcement-sgf\/\" target=\"_blank\"> quickly changed its tune<\/a> on this point, with CTO Caspar Strandbygaard telling PC Gamer that Chronicles: Medieval was &#8220;100% handcrafted with no use of generative AI.&#8221; Strandbygaard admitted that Raw Power was still &#8220;curious&#8221; about the technology, but regarding Chronicles specifically, he stressed that &#8220;every asset in the game is built by our extremely talented team of passionate developers. It is not generated by AI.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While the situation seems grim for Raw Power, the studio says that it is &#8220;not going down without a fight&#8221; and has urged fans of the game to &#8220;keep Chronicles: Medieval on your wishlist and keep talking about it.&#8221; How much road Raw Power has remaining before it&#8217;s forced to close isn&#8217;t clear. But since the game is allegedly close to being in a releasable state, it may be able to secure new funding relatively soon.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"2f7a315c-d613-11f1-b4e4-cdff2f83f53b\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/chronicles-medieval-developer-faces-imminent-closure-after-losing-funding-what-makes-it-hurt-is-how-close-we-are-early-access-is-in-reach.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"2f7a315c-d613-11f1-b4e4-cdff2f83f53b\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/sim\/chronicles-medieval-developer-faces-imminent-closure-after-losing-funding-what-makes-it-hurt-is-how-close-we-are-early-access-is-in-reach\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chronicles: Medieval is an impressive looking open-world sandbox where players explore a dynamic Medieval world and fight in massive, authentic battles.
