Total War: MEDIEVAL II Mobile、ホットシートとハルバードで登場

Feral Interactive Unveils Major "Hotseats and Halberds" Update for Total War: MEDIEVAL II on Android

Feral Interactive has just delivered a landmark update for Total War: MEDIEVAL II on Android — a powerful expansion that brings the depth and excitement of the PC "Kingdoms" experience directly to mobile devices. Dubbed the "Hotseats and Halberds" update, this overhaul introduces major new gameplay mechanics, deepens tactical combat, and significantly enhances the overall polish of the mobile version.

🔥 New Multiplayer Mode: Hotseat — Now on Mobile

The most anticipated addition is Hotseat multiplayer, long a fan favorite on PC but now fully realized on Android. This mode allows players to take turns on a single device — perfect for couch co-op or competitive battles with friends.

• Supports both co-op and competitive play, letting you team up or go head-to-head.
• Features distinct victory conditions, including a thrilling new Battle Royale variant for high-stakes, fast-paced duels.
• Available across all "Kingdoms" campaigns and the Grand Campaign, preserving the rich narrative and faction diversity.

This is a massive leap forward for mobile strategy gaming, finally giving players the social, turn-based multiplayer experience that many have been waiting for.

⚔️ Tactical Combat Refined: Pike Cohesion & Halberdier Power

Historical accuracy and battlefield realism have been prioritized in this update:

• Pikemen now maintain formation integrity through improved Cohesion mechanics. No more chaotic breakdowns when soldiers switch to swords — they hold their ground, making pike formations a durable and tactical choice.
• Halberdiers have been rebalanced to serve as a true late-game alternative to spearmen, with enhanced anti-cavalry and anti-infantry performance. They now shine against heavy armor and massed infantry charges.
• Two-handed weapons (Zweihanders, Daneaxes, Great Clubs) now benefit from a new Cohesion-Disruption trait, making them more effective at breaking enemy lines and exploiting gaps in formation.

These changes give players deeper strategic options and reward thoughtful unit composition.

🎯 Enhanced Unit Performance & Combat Balance

Feral Interactive has addressed long-standing gameplay quirks and performance gaps:

• Gunpowder units (Arquebusiers, Musketeers) now have refined firing mechanics — faster reloads, better target prioritization, and improved performance in ranked volleys. No more feeling overshadowed by archers.
• Naval combat has been tuned: Late-era ships (like galleons and ships of the line) now have adjusted movement speeds to better reflect their real-world capabilities.
• Late-period unshielded knights have had their defensive stats rebalanced for greater survivability and tactical relevance.
• The Ribault artillery piece has received targeted buffs, making it a more viable option in siege and open-field combat.

📱 A More Polished and Immersive Experience

Beyond new features, the update delivers a more refined, stable, and immersive mobile experience:

• Improved UI responsiveness and visual clarity for campaign and battle screens.
• Smoother animations and better particle effects during large-scale battles.
• Optimized performance across a range of devices, ensuring stable frame rates even in massive skirmishes.
