Gameforge, a leading Western publisher of popular multiplayer online games such as AION and Tera, has announced the official North American and European launch of Kingdom Under Fire 2, the highly-anticipated new chapter in the award-winning Kingdom Under Fire series, which originally launched to the Asian market last week.
Set in a world where three powerful factions compete for control over the land of Bersia, Kingdom Under Fire II combines the MMORPG and RTS genres in the most ambitious entry yet in the popular fantasy series, which saw its last release—Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom—over a decade ago.
In Kingdom Under Fire 2, players are able to choose from several hero classes, and may then focus on building up their individual characters, or command massive armies as war strategists. Taking place fifty years after the events of Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders, the new title features an immersive, story-driven online campaign which is can be enjoyed both solo or multiplayer.
“Kingdom Under Fire 2 has been one of the most exciting projects Gameforge has published,” said Tomislav Perkovic, Chief Product Officer at Gameforge. “We worked closely with developer Blueside to take an already fantastic game to the finish line, transitioning gameplay balancing from a free-to-play business model to a traditional premium model where players simply buy to play and have a content-rich experience from the start. Today’s launch of Kingdom Under Fire 2 is just the start as we have future updates in the pipeline that series fans will no doubt love!”
“After many long years developing our most ambitious game ever created, the time has finally come for western players to experience Kingdom Under Fire 2,” said Sejung Kim, CEO of Blueside. “Thanks to their considerable publishing experience in the online games market, Gameforge has helped Blueside fully realize the vision of Kingdom Under Fire 2. We look forward to re-opening the gates to Bersia to our fans, as well as to newcomers, who have been eagerly awaiting this day.”
Key Features:
Become a Legend: Master a unique and visually diverse MMORPG where players can dictate the fate of the world alone or with allies.
Enter the Front Lines: Engage in action-packed hack ‘n’ slash combat against thousands of foes — including legions of bloodthirsty orcs, magic wielders, towering beasts, and fellow players.
Command the Battlefield: Switch to an RTS perspective to command over 80 different types of troops from 10 different factions, and strategize the fall of kingdoms in epic PvP battles featuring thousands of units.
