A great video introducing the new The Sims Medieval has just launched showing all the exciting gameplay possibilities in the medieval world of Kings, Queens, Knights and Jesters.

The Sims Medieval is a brand new standalone game from The Sims Studio, creators of best-selling games such as The Sims™ 3, and marks a departure from the traditional The Sims games with all-new features and gameplay.

Set in medieval times, players now have the opportunity to build up a medieval kingdom, go on quests, level-up their characters and fulfill storyline elements. Players will find their Sims in a variety of situations previously unknown to them, such as duels to the death, choosing whether to poison a witch or marry her, and punishing Sims by having them thrown into the Pit of Judgment. Every quest plays out differently depending on which Hero Sim the player is controlling.
