Overview

Gnomes Vs Knights, developed and published by Arête Studios, is a chaotic multiplayer heist game that pits desperate Gnomes against angry Knights, all under the watchful eye of the Goblins. Released on October 27, 2026, this action-adventure title blends strategy with roguelite elements, offering both cooperative and competitive play.

The premise is simple: the Gnomes owe the Goblins a mountain of gold, and their only solution is to break into the castle, steal everything that isn't nailed down, and escape before the Knights throw them in jail.

Highlights

  • Two Distinct Roles: Play as a Gnome, sneaking into the castle to steal treasure and complete ridiculous tasks to meet the Goblins' quota, or as a Knight, patrolling the halls to catch the intruders.
  • Multiplayer Mayhem: Supports online PvP and co-op, allowing you to team up with friends for a heist or face off against them in a frantic game of cat and mouse.
  • Roguelite and Party Game Elements: Each run offers randomized challenges and items, making every heist a fresh, unpredictable experience perfect for parties.

Who It's For

If you enjoy chaotic party games like Overcooked or Among Us, or if you're a fan of dungeon crawlers with a twist, Gnomes Vs Knights is right up your alley. It's ideal for groups of friends who love cooperative chaos and competitive mischief.

The game's blend of action, strategy, and roguelite replayability ensures that no two heists are ever the same.
