Development on King’s Bounty II continues and 1C Entertainment along with Koch Media has decided to answer several questions from fans. Check out a video below of a developer Q&A session that introduces the races and monsters that players will be able to use on the battlefield, but also discusses the differences between units, customization, connections between previous games in the franchise, and more.
Everything we have seen so far has been quite incredible. Especially the details in the landscapes. The realism is just amazing. Seriously, check out the gallery of images below.
King’s Bounty II expands the turn-based tactical RPG genre to provide players with a truly immersive experience that will add weight to every decision they make, whether they decide to lead an army battling non-living horrors, or whether they choose to develop relationships with local inhabitants. Discover a rich world mixing realism and fantasy, filled with compelling stories, memorable characters, and a multitude of moral choices!
Players will take on the role of one of three heroes, each with their own unique personality and story. They will thus enjoy a non-linear adventure in an open and fantastic world, teeming with life. Players will roam the kingdom in third-person view, take part in quests, explore the wilderness, and learn more about the inhabitants they encounter. However, when a conflict begins, the perspective will shift to a tactical view to make way for turn-based combat. Players will then need to use their units wisely in combat to win.
King’s Bounty II Key Features
- Interactive and cinematic story – Told through the lens of a highly cinematic experience, King’s Bounty 2 puts choice in players’ hands rather than their mouths. Embracing classic RPG traditions, players are frequently faced with difficult moral choices that have far-reaching consequences for the fate of the realm. But instead of hinging on simple dialogue choices, it is the players’ actions that hold the true weight
- Landscape matters – When players enter combat, the battlefield directly reflects the specific part of the world map that they’re traversing. This forces players to consider their surroundings before entering combat, to minimize potential risks or even try to give themselves the upper hand
- No more flat arenas – Realistic, volumetric battlefields are now an integral part of combat in King’s Bounty 2. Creating maximum tactical diversity, all manner of obstacles and features can be found on the combat maps, from ravines and hills to wagons and more. Every battle now has its own unique tactical advantages and disadvantages.
- New character development system – King’s Bounty 2 gives players three characters to choose from, each with their own unique story. As they explore the realm, their stories change as they align themselves with different ideals: Strength, Art, Order, and Anarchy. Not only do these choices affect how NPCs react to them, but they also have a tangible impact on the world
- Unique squads – Each squad consists of wholly unique units, each with their own set of skills and visual appearance. Instead of faceless recruits, players build armies of humans, elves, trolls, and other creatures who spend the majority of their adventure fighting side-by-side, developing lasting bonds
- Tactical depth on the battlefield – King’s Bounty 2 introduces many new tactical features to the series, such as Line of Sight, for a deeper, richer combat experience. Surprise tactical events mid-battle will also keep players on their toes
- Unique blend of realism and fantasy – Experience a vast fantasy world that expertly blends beloved genre tropes with gritty realism to ensure players remain grounded in this desperate, realm-wide struggle
King’s Bounty II will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Steam. To learn more about the game, visit the official website: www.kingsbounty2.com
