- January 25, 2026
AceShowbiz - 1348 Ex Voto is an upcoming medieval action game that promises an engaging cinematic experience inspired by classic chivalric tales. Set in the mid-14th century, just before the events of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, this title features a talented cast, including a standout actor from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Scheduled for release on March 12, 2026, there’s a palpable excitement surrounding its launch, with details about additional editions and pricing already surfacing shortly after the game's announcement.
At a glance, 1348 Ex Voto shares a striking resemblance to the narrative-driven gameplay and dark atmosphere found in the Plague Tale series by Asobo Studio and Hellblade by Ninja Theory. However, it aims to carve out its own identity, focusing on intimate, over-the-shoulder combat mechanics. Players can anticipate a plethora of beautifully rendered cutscenes, reminiscent of the storytelling techniques seen in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
In a notable casting choice, Jennifer English, who portrayed Maelle in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, takes on the role of Bianca in 1348 Ex Voto. Recently, her performance earned her accolades including Best Performance at The Game Awards 2025 and Best Lead Performer at the Golden Joystick Awards 2025. With her upcoming role as Gwendolyn in Tides of Annihilation, her involvement in this new title only adds to its narrative depth, as players guide her character through perilous quests.
The storyline revolves around Aeta, a young knight errant on a harrowing journey to rescue her closest companion in turbulent Medieval Italy. This quest promises to be a blend of action and emotional storytelling, compelling players to invest in the fates of its characters.
For those interested in diving into this new experience, 1348 Ex Voto will be available in two editions: a standard and a deluxe version. However, it appears that Xbox users may face some disappointment with the release, as details regarding platform availability are yet to be fully disclosed. As the release date approaches, fans will eagerly await more information about this promising addition to the medieval action genre.
