Audentes Fortuna Iuvat
- by Khayl Adam 57m ago
With Warhorse's medieval WRPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance II thundering towards us, charging home on 4th February on PS5, it only seems appropriate to arm oneself for the occasion. A coin engraved with the Latin phrase and the game's creed, Audentes Fortuna Iuvat (fortune favours the brave), embedded in the pommel of an authentic replica sword, has been revealed by the developer; made to historical 15th-century specifications, naturally.
Forged by some of the finest blacksmiths in all Bohemia Czechia, in partnership with Wulflund, the Invictus (undefeated) is the official blade of KC: II and has raised the bar for merchandise we'll be expecting from devs moving forward. At €665, or around $415.90, it's not even that far out of reach of our grasping peasant paws.
Forged in the full tang fashion of the day (crafted from a single piece of steel extending from tip to pommel), the blade is historically classified as a Type XVI and would have been worn and used throughout the High Middle and into the Late Middle Ages. It comes in a remarkable case with a certificate of authenticity from Warhorse, and a matching leather scabbard can be purchased separately. What are you going to do, carry it around unsheathed?
