MOSCOW, Russia - April 22, 2014 - 1C Company is excited to announce the upcoming release of King's Bounty: Dark Side, the next chapter in the award-winning King's Bounty saga.

Time has come to join the Dark Journey to the other side of Teana and visit a mysterious part of the world never before seen by royal bounty hunters.

For the first time in King's Bounty series, players will be able to choose their hero's race as well as class. Become a fearless Orcs warrior, lead and heal your troops as a Demoness, or use dark magic as a fearsome Vampire.

The world is in turmoil. After winning the battle of Tristrem, arrogant elves plunder Orcish villages, desecrate holy shrines, and massacre the innocents. Orc-Baghyr, the greatest living Orc warrior, is forced to flee with a handful of loyal followers. He vows to return with a stronger force and retake his homeland!

Armies of human knights invade the land of Atrixus. A young Demoness named Neoleene, still mourning the death of her royal father, and her small unit of devoted imps is all that stands in the way of the invading horde.

Castle of the ancient Morton clan is threatened by an army of vampire hunters. Young Daert leaves home to seek allies among the other Dark races. All must join him or perish.

Fates of the three heroes are sealed. They come together in the depths of the Black Cave, where many centuries ago races of Light imprisoned Ancient Evil. The heroes exchange vows and share antique artifacts, then gather their armies and march to fight for the very survival of their race. They must unite against the Light or face extinction!

King's Bounty: Dark Side features:

- New companion system (different companions for each character);

- New battle companion;

- New units, artifacts, and rage abilities ;

- Over 100 new quests and 15 new locations

King's Bounty: Dark Side is scheduled to be released in summer 2014.

Really wish they updated their damn engine, game is already beginning to look bad. Gameplay is fun, but it needs a rework from the ground up.

Oh god, and aaaaaagain the same engine.
Kings Bounty was great till the Crossworlds expansion.
I still bought Warriors of the North and played for many hours. But not this time. If they don't even care for improved engine rofl. Exactly the same with some reskinned monsters.

No new engine... but on the other hand, personally I prefer this setting to the previous storylines. So yeah, I'm looking forward to this.

The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

I really liked the previous Kings Bountys.
Played Armored Princess or Crossworlds (can't remember which it was) for about 75 hours.
And Warriors of the North for about 65 hours, but didn't finish it, because sadly it was pretty much the same fight against the same 3 different enemies.
The facebook game of this was pretty nice too, but it got p2win after playing for some hours.

Will still try this one, but i doubt i will play it for too long. Sad

The game is updated fairly often but with the forums being primarily in Russian I have no idea what is being changed. - http://steamdb.info/app/289520/history/

Is anyone else considering buying this? If yes, do you happen to know of any reliable reseller for the premium edition that beats the steam price? The game is out tomorrow and I'd love to start playing as soon as the "real" version is out.

Edit: nvm I just prepurchased on steam Smile

Its a new KB game, if you liked the previous ones then you'll probably like it as well Smile To me this is a significant improvement over WOTN already because of the setting.

The game was patched quite often during the early-access period but reading the Steam forums it seems like there's still several issues and other problems, might be best to wait a while and see if it'll be patched further. Smile

http://steamcommunity.com/app/289520/discussions/

(Well I still haven't played the previous game since I was waiting for it to be done patching so I guess it could take some time.)


EDIT:

13 minutes ago

Changed Depots

289521/manifests/public: 5194361169565354302 › 7054786567974012713
289526/manifests/public: 1600832484024478565 › 1158155013684495676
branches/public/buildid: 359179 › 360379

That should be the release patch. Smile

EDIT: Nope, just support for German language.
