Chronicles: Medieval Trailer Teases Ambitious Battles With Narration from Tom Hardy at Summer Game Fest 2025

Summer Game Fest 2025 came with a surprise cameo from Venom and The Dark Knight Rises actor Tom Hardy, who is involved in an ambitious new project called Chronicles: Medieval.

Details about this mysterious new game were announced by Raw Power Games toward the beginning of today’s show, revealing dark footage of knights riding on horseback as they head toward a great war. Most of today’s video seems to rely on pre-rendered footage, though it does end with what appears to be a few seconds of gameplay as a leading knight marches his army toward a distant castle.

It’s unclear if Hardy’s involvement stops at the narration he provided for today’s trailer. Chronicles: Medieval comes to PC via Steam early access in 2026.
