Pike & Wall (2022)

Pike & Wall is a historically grounded game that immerses players in early 16th-century events during the Italian Wars. It frames player agency through the role of a condottiere, guiding a mercenary force in collaboration with General Fernández Gonzalo de Córdoba to pursue the liberation of southern Italy from French occupation.

Later in the campaign, the game departs from a historically accurate path and forges its own narrative by extending the player’s campaign across Greece toward Constantinople and the liberation of the city from the Ottoman Empire.
