Gadgets 360: As for how you can play Knights of Light, the game will be hitting the PS4 first as the studio is self-publishing the game on Sony’s platform. It might be a timed exclusive to the PS4 “for a few months” though Mousa says it’s “not yet confirmed”. No surprise considering Sony’s dominance in the region with over one million PS4s sold two years ago, and the console quickly tracking to hit two million units, insiders say. A PC version is in the works as well with the team releasing a video of Knights of Light featuring Nvidia’s bespoke tech — Gameworks.
As for other consoles, Mousa was hesitant. “Currently triple A projects require many optimisations for each platform and this will require a lot of time,” he explains. “Nintendo Switch is very unlikely to be considered.”
The promising historical RPG Knights of Light is set to fall far short of its crowdfunding goal, but Rumbling Games Studio aims to move ahead with an Early Access release nonetheless.
The Middle East is not a region often associated with role-playing video games or video gaming culture in general. Rumbling Games Studio is looking to change that with Knights of Light, a historical RPG that takes a realistic approach similar to that of Kingdom Come: Deliverance. OnlySP recently had the chance to talk with the game's creative director Ahmed Mousa to find out more about this ambitious title.
At first sight, Knights of Light resembles Assassins' Creed more than the Witcher 3. The game will supposedly have a 400 km wide open-world spread across a diverse landscape.
