Chivalry and Depth have teamed up to bring you a bunch of new in-game cosmetics, as well as a new map! Starting tomorrow at 10am PDT, both games will be 50% off on Steam until May 5th, 2015 to celebrate this union of Sharks and Knights. The update is scheduled to go live as soon as possible, the current status of that can be found below.

Chivalry vs Depth Status: Patch live, enjoy! (Message Last Updated: 5:51am PDT)

New Cosmetics for Depth & Chivalry!

Players which own both Depth and Chivalry: Medieval Warfare on Steam will have access to these new cosmetics in-game:



Cosmetics Available in Chivalry: Medieval Warfare:

• Arm yourself to the teeth with the Deepfang Morning Star and bring the ferocity of a Great White to the battlefield.

• Strike fear with the Great Bite Helm as you put your enemies in deep water to escape the jaws of death.

  Cosmetics Available in Depth:
  
  
  Chivalry Themed Weapon Skins - Thrust yourself into combat with the Thrusting Dagger and Thrusting Spear weapon skins for the Knife and Bang Stick. These weapons may not be cutting edge technology but their proven ability to penetrate armor bodes well for dealing with shark attacks.

  New Map: Hillside - Available for everyone!

  
  Based on a popular Chivalry map of the same name, Hillside features a coastal fortress that was the site of many battles during the age of chivalry. It is now a crumbling ruin that has been partly consumed by the ocean, but rumors state there are still a lot of artifacts down there which should make the dive worth it.

  Megalodon Hunt Improvements

  
  We've re-done the HUD Megalodon Hunt, fitting it into the new UI style. We're also re-built the score display at the top-left of the screen, with a big emphasis on clarity for new players. The new map Hillside has also been added to the Megalodon Hunt rotation, so there's never been a better time to grab some friends and hunt each other!
  
  

  FAQ

  
  I already own Depth and Chivalry. Now what?
  Well done you! The map, and all the in-game items (Deepfang Morningstar and Great Bite Helm in Chivalry / Chivalry Knife and Chivalry Bangstick in Depth) will be automatically unlocked when you play.
  
  I own Depth, but I don't own Chivalry.
  You'll still be able to play Depth as normal, including the new Chivalry themed map. But you will need to purchase a copy of Chivalry to try out the Chivalry Bang Stick and Chivalry Knife skins.
  
  Are the Chivalry themed weapons different than the normal ones?
  They are functionally identical, the only difference is how they look / sound.

  • Fixed bug where the last damage dealt was not recorded correctly
    
  • Fixed bug where weapon attachments on divers would produce silhouette artifacts
    
  • Fixed bug where the game would hang on start up when Steam is online when your user name had a particular sequence of characters
    
  • You can now disable dynamic loading screens by launching the game with -UseStaticLoadScreens. This fixes issues for players who crash while loading into a map

Omfg, some guy a while back was talking about wanting to add maces and swords and spears from medieval things to this game and we all made fun of him for it.
Whoever that was, Babycat, you made his dream come true.

[abugaj]

Are you guys putting out anymore road maps for future updates?

[Gameo]

Nice updates. Guess I'm gload I actually bought that Chivalry game a long time ago, now. Don't like it much but, cool new weapon skins.
Still need to add something to prevent players from quitting matches and having me be stuck with bots nearly every... game...

[Aether-Eel]

I hope the next update adds knights, said no one ever...

I hate free content in my game, but I love paying for overpriced, mediocre DLC.

Said no-one ever.

Knights is obviously a blanket term for knightly stuff. No need to get butthurt.

No butthurt here man. You're making a mountain out of a mole hill.

This was needed but I feel seachers will take even longer now :(

Okay, you added some new content for the game, but how about better grafics and an optional way for Open world? That would be importier than the new content.
I loved the game Jaws where you can be a shark for sure and have a big OpenWorld and kill some people,animals etc. and improve the skills like the shark skin and the teeth.
It would so awesome if that can be added here as well. I think the game would be better than now.

Go play Jaws, that's not what this game is, even slightly.
