Kalypso Media released a new trailer from Gamescom late last week for The First Templar, the upcoming cooperative third-person action game being developed by Haemimont Games for the Xbox 360. In this new trailer, viewers will be treated to a taste of cooperative combat and fast-paced action from within The First Templar. Watch as Knights Templar battle against an onslaught of foes; from knights and archers, to something far more fearsome, and prepare yourself for an unmatched combat experience.

The First Templar follows the story of two main characters – a French Templar, and his companion, a noble lady who has been proclaimed a heretic. Taking control over these two unlikely allies, the player must uncover the mysteries behind the Templar Order, play a role in a grand conspiracy, and discover the secret of the Holy Grail. The heroes face powerful opponents at every turn, in the face of the Saracen, King Philip IV of France and the Inquisition.

The First Templar features both single player and co-op modes. When playing solo, the player can switch between the two characters, leaving the control of the second hero to the game’s AI. At any moment a second player can join in and take control of the AI controlled hero.

The First Templar is scheduled for release in Q1 2011.
