Shot documentary-style on location in York, senior producer Gordon Van Dyke and lead designer Mårten Stormdal don armor and ransack the now peaceful city, enabling viewers to see firsthand the buildings, landscapes, armor, and lore that will become a part of War of the Roses when the game launches later this year.

About War of the Roses

War of the Roses is a team based third person action game set in 15th century England. Two rival branches of the Royal House of Plantagenet - the house of Lancaster (the reds) and the house of York (the whites) -- fight over the throne, and the player is thrown into the fray.

The years of 1455-1485 in England is an extraordinary setting filled with conflict, treachery and bloodshed. In the wake of the "death of chivalry" at Agincourt in 1415 and the introduction of gunpowder, warfare changed; the gloves came off, so to speak. The old and the new clashed on the battlefield while personal vendettas persistently motivated the desire for war. War of The Roses sees players go toe-to-toe with their opponents using authentic and visceral weapons of the time period including broad swords, long bows and battle-axes.

Is battlegrounds training up and running? Do you have to do something to ulock it because I cannot access it.

[Gordon VanDyke]

Or maybe we got it right, and you don't understand armor.

[zackhanscom]

so you guys actually wore the armor and still managed to screw it up in the game?

[MaceUK71]

That 'cracked' me up :D

[foxfingers]

28,000 people died, one by one, each of them being stabbed in the face and neck 5 times by a dirk. :D

Well there doesn't seem to be many details on it atm, but i seem to remember that it will be story based following the major battles of the war of the roses i suppose. On the IGN website it says "War of the Roses features both online multiplayer and a deep single-player campaign", so i hope they are at least telling the truth about it containing single player since i don't really want a game that is only multiplayer.
