Description

This book explores the nature of medievalism in digital games across a range of themes, exploring depictions of morality, race, gender and sexuality. It argues that while these games are influenced by medievalist and ludic tropes, they represent a distinct new form of medievalism. Considering hundreds of games from across genres, from Assassin's Creed and Baldur's Gate to Crusader Kings and The Witcher series, it provides a vital illustration of the field and a cornerstone for future research and teaching.
