11 Best Ottoman Empire and Turkish Games You Must Play (Upcoming & Released)

A Mosque in Age of Empires 4

Turkish history was deeply rooted and filled with amazing events, hence inspiring so many TV shows, movies & video games in recent years. One of the high points in Turkish history is the Ottoman Empire founded in 1299, establishing a long-lasting dominance across Europe, Asia, and Africa.

 

The Turkish gaming scene wasn’t that hot until the early 2000s. Yet, in 2008, Armağan Yavuz and his wife İpek Yavuz (TaleWorlds) launched the Mount and Blade series, really successful worldwide and gave huge momentum to the industry. This game allows one to become a part of multiplayer combat set in the medieval period wherein players can arm themselves with swords and shields, and this is something at which the Turkish community excels. By 2022; the sequel came out in full force on consoles and Steam: Bannerlord. It put more of the Turkish gaming industry on the map, although Turkey still hasn’t reached that key threshold in PC and console gaming. Still, there are definitely some exciting tries being made.

 

Anyway, I don’t want to get too sidetracked and lose sight of the main point-I am not trying to give an in-depth look at Turkish gaming here-so let’s just say that Bannerlord does have gameplay reminiscent of the Ottoman Medieval style and it comes with a mod that we’ll include in this list.

 

In the following, we shall explore 11 games featuring Ottomans and Turks, from those already released to some expected to come by 2025. Mind you, many of these games have been in development by game developers living in Turkey. But even well-established companies like Ubisoft with AC Revelations and Microsoft with Age of Empires IV drew plenty from this rich and magnificent history, so let’s check them out!
