Quote:
The game is to be multiplayer, embracing the social nature of Bookfacing, describing itself as “a turn-based social strategy game”. The Summer release promises forty levels of an “extensive and witty storyline”, with quests, tactical turn-based combat, including PvP, and the troop hiring that defines the series. It’s all arriving in the Unity 3D engine.

And from the look of the screenshots, it’s not just the name that’s been licensed. It seems they’ve got all the assets from Katauri’s games too.

Naturally it’s going to be “freemium”, free to play, but with purchasable in-game items. What those items are we don’t yet know. If they’re belts with adventures inside, it’ll be tempting. This is coming from KranX Productions, a Russian team who focus on online games, and has nothing to do with Katauri, who are busy focusing on their MMO, Royal Quest.

Wouldn't call Kings Bounty a HoMM clone, seeing how KB is different enough from HoMM to justify a style of it's own. Especially when you take into account the fact that HoMM came after KB...

Oooooh, I hadn't released KB went back as far as DOS... damn, I only noticed it once The Legend came out, with the subsequent releases, which is what made me think it was a HoMM clone (The Legend came out in 2008, HoMM has been going since the early 90s)


~not-quite-edit~

Hahahaha! Wiki to the rescue... turns out HoMM *and* King's Bounty are actually created by the same person, for the same company! Very Happy

Does this mean that there isn't going to be a new KB game for the time being? FB is destroying hardcore PC gaming.

It's King's Bounty: Armored Princess and the Crossworlds expansion, three new campaigns, and also a campaign editor.

But all that is moot because it's King's fucking Bounty. Very Happy
