- 3 Days Left: The Final Push! ⚔️ - 9 February 2026
Knights, the final countdown has begun.We have entered the final 72 hours of our Kickstarter campaign. The campaign is progressing, momentum is building, and for the first time, the finish line is truly within arm's reach. We can absolutely do this.But we need to be realistic about the final obstacle. The Ballad Singer: Knights Templar is a deep, complex indie project. We know the quality is there, but the reality is that there are still thousands of RPG and Strategy fans out there who simply do not know this project exists yet.This is where you make the difference.We are at a tipping point where literally a handful of new backers could be the difference between this game becoming a reality... or fading away.We aren't asking you to pledge more. We are asking for your voice.How you can help us cross the line:Message a friend: Do you know someone who loved The Banner Saga, Darkest Dungeon…

We are in the final countdown.Hello everyone,There are exactly 9 days left until the The Ballad Singer: Knights Templar Kickstarter campaign comes to a close.We want to speak to you from the heart: we are at a decisive crossroads. This project wasn't born yesterday. It is the result of over 4 years of development, historical research, and design. We have been working in the shadows to create something that isn't "just a sequel," but a deep, complex evolution of the genre.Why does this game deserve to see the light of day?Because the depth we’ve built goes far beyond surface appearances. In Knights Templar, you aren't just managing anonymous pawns.

Here are the very first images we're sharing for TBS: KT!We are working hard to bring you more content soon.
- TBS: KT Art Focus 4 - 7 August 2023
Greetings everyone! If you have already played the first The Ballad Singer, you know that the three main pillars of the game are the visual arts, the music, and the fully narrated story. Since The Ballad Singer: Knights Templar is an evolution of the first game, the focus will remain on those three aspects. This time we are going to have a managerial and combat phase that is going to make the game completely different. But the focus on visual art, music, and storytelling is still there. The game includes a hard-core combat system, where 1 blow delivered by the opponent could be fatal if your unit does not wear armor. Among the combat objectives, there is the "Massacre" where you have to slay most of the enemies. Below you can find the image that we are using to show this objective! -Riccardo
- TBS: KT Art Focus 3 - 4 July 2023
Greetings everyone! Today I am thrilled to share with you a handpicked selection of hit cards included in the weapons, as well as some of the unique perks of the unit or Grand Master. In TBS:KT, each unit boasts a distinctive deck crafted around their equipment and perks. The combat phase sees you unleashing these unit cards, along with others from a special Command Deck featuring cards from archers and Grand Master perks. It will be crucial to know that Command Deck cards are accessible to all units in combat, but require Faith Points to use, so you must make wise choices when playing them. At times, you will face tough decisions, such as deciding between rescuing your beloved unit or securing the battle's objective. -Riccardo
- TBS: KT Art Focus 2 - 9 May 2023
Greetings everyone! During the artistic realization, I divided all the cards into two categories: horizontal and vertical. The horizontal cards have a special role in the game as they are used for game activities and focus cards that can influence your gameplay with bonuses or maluses over a short period of turns. The vertical ones are used for equipments, hits and more. What's unique about the focus cards is that each one is named after a Latin proverb! We have provided translations for the proverbs and descriptions of the bonuses/maluses they offer. I believe this adds an extra layer of depth and medieval charm to the game. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project! -Riccardo
- TBS: KT, Art Focus 1 - 4 April 2023
Hey everyone, I'm excited to introduce the "TBS KT: Art Focus" series with this post! Over the next few weeks, I'll be sharing some images that highlight the immense effort we've put into the game's graphics. As with the first TBS game, we have three main strengths: illustrations, music, and story. The same artists from the first game have covered all three areas, ensuring continuity in this "second chapter" of the game. However, this time we're adding complexity to the game mechanics, so we're not relying entirely on the artists' features. TBS KT is going to be completely different from the first TBS game, but the artistic focus remains the same. So, stay tuned for more posts in this series! TBS: KT, Art Focus 1 In TBS: KT, the first phase of the fights take place in an isometric environment, and we've prepared modular pawns divided into the three factions of the game. The Templars are…

Cheers future Grand Masters, I want to share with you the current state of the game and the plans for the next year. We are very close to having the first internal playable build of the game. This is a very critical step since we are going to try for the first time all the different parts of the game together. The story will be linked to the managerial and combat phase and in the first months of next year, we will try to polish and balance how each activity interacts with the others. Mounts and equipments are already part of the game as well as buildings and perks. We are currently planning some insights on the game for next year.
