King Arthur: The role-playing Wargame was released earlier in 2009 and turned out to be surprisingly popular for the diverse blend of real-strategy and role-playing elements that it consisted of. Now, Neocore Games in co-ordination with publisher Paradox Interactive, is brewing up an all-new sequel dubbed King Arthur II infused with a genre-pushing mix of fantasy, role-playing RTS ingredients.
“We are excited to begin King Arthur II with the Paradox publishing team,” commented Zoltán Pozsonyi, Producer of King Arthur II for Neocore. “We have every intention of testing the limits in the sequel. With an extraordinary new plot and insane new battles, our community’s expectations will be blown away.”
Depicting a dark new fantasy setting, King Arthur II follows the story of King Arthur who is no longer the heroic ruler. He has turned into an injured king trying to restore a terrain that is almost beyond mending. With even more valiant, expansive battles and larger armies, the game will offer unforeseen boss fights that are not only intense, but will also test the hero’s mettle against new terror-inducing opponents. King Arthur II will feature new range of camera control options, extensive tutorial and revised animations ensuring an amusing gameplay experience.
