The upcoming medieval time-traveling action strategy game, Kingmakers, is being adapted into a live-action film by Story Kitchen. This collaboration with developer Redemption Road Games and publisher TinyBuild promises a unique take on the genre, drawing inspiration from epic tales like Braveheart infused with sci-fi elements. The film's intent is to explore thrilling warfare set in a war-torn medieval world while allowing characters to wield a modern arsenal of weapons. While Kingmakers itself is set to release in 2024, the film adaptation does not yet have a specified release date. TinyBuild CEO Alex Nichiporchik expressed excitement about the project, emphasizing the potential for a spectacular time-bending narrative.
