The First Templar is an action-adventure video game developed by Haemimont Games and published by Kalypso Media for the Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. It was released on both platforms in May 2011 in Europe and North America.
The First Templar follows the story of two characters: French Templar Celian d'Arestide and his companion, Marie d'Ibelin, a noble lady declared a heretic by the Dominican Inquisition. Taking control of these two unlikely allies, the player must uncover the mysteries of the Templar Order, engage in a grand conspiracy, and discover the secret of the Holy Grail. The First Templar features both single-player and co-op modes. When playing solo, the player can switch between the two characters, with the game's AI controlling the second hero. At any moment, a second player can join in and take control of the AI-controlled hero.
