Developer Booming Tech and publisher Poros Interactive announced that an epic collaboration is launching in Conqueror’s Blade. Dubbed as the Battle Metal: Sabaton & Conqueror’s Blade event, it starts November 21 and runs until December 5.
The upcoming event marks the first time that a celebrity likeness is set to be featured as a playable skin in the game. To celebrate, a new trailer has been released which gives us a first look at what to expect for the event. Watch the trailer here.
Here's some of the features of this event:
- Sabaton Metal Legend Attire featuring the voice and likeness of Sabaton lead singer Joakim Brodén, with two unique looks included.
- The Sabaton Rockcrusher is a weapon attire that transforms the Maul and gives it the look and feel of an electric guitar. Complete with custom sound effects and a unique emote.
- The Sabaton Mini Battle Pass, included with the purchase of the Sabaton Metal Legend attire or the bundled Metal Legend/Rockcrusher attire pack, unlocks missions that lead to dozens of additional rewards, including an Emerald Warrior variant of the Sabaton attire.
- A reworked "Sabaton Fortress" siege map, backed by a newly recorded orchestral version of Sabaton’s "The Lion from the North."
In a statement, Director of Publishing & Product at Booming Tech Yannik Hellmich shared in a statement the mediums where Sabaton and Poros Interactive play may be different but the two are united by a shared desire when it comes to exploring history through art. He added that the game has continued to thrive this year mainly due to the “active and dedicated community.” He went on to say that the studio believes players are sure to love the perfect marriage between the history-grounded action of the game and Sabaton’s epic power chords.
