#MAMG23 Historical modality or HM (Redder, 2023) entails different multimodal ensembles of gameplay representation by their literacies and meaning-making modes of history. This paper introduces HM for examining gameplay histories as multimodal texts via AH in TWW3’s Bretonnia.

#MAMG23 This green knight is secretly Gilles Le Breton reborn, Bretonnia’s own King Arthur who amalgamates different versions and scholarly interpretations of this figure and its pagan association to nature-rebirth, including the Green Man and Malory’s coloured knight personas.
#MAMG23 Medieval games are at the forefront of historical gameplay representation as an emergent study. With TWW3, alternate Medievalisms like the Bretonnia faction signify that Arthurian traditions are ongoing developing genres and not finalised products of the Middle Ages.
