King Arthur: Legends Rise Is Out Later This Year
At Summer Game Fest, mobile developer Kabam Entertainment announced that its next game, King Arthur: Legends Rise, will be headed to PC and mobile platforms later this year. Originally revealed at the State of Unreal presentation at this year's Game Developer's Conference, King Arthur: Legends Rise reimagines the Arthurian legend as a squad-based RPG that has been built entirely in Unreal Engine 5.
Alongside the news of the 2023 release window, Kabam also debuted a new CG trailer for the game and details on the game's next open beta test, which begins on June 29 in the United States, Australia, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Philippines, and Hong Kong. One of the other big features of the game is «seamless» cross-progression and cross-play on mobile devices and PC, which will allow you to pick up right where you left off when you need to switch between platforms.
As for the actual gameplay, King Arthur: Legends Rise isn't straying far away from the fantasy elements that are usually depicted in adaptations of the legends. There'll be plenty of fire-breathing dragons to slay, Eldritch monsters to battle, and other dark forces looking to pick a fight. The game uses a turn-based battle system, as you command Arthur and his allies, and the king can recruit knights, mages, and mythical beings to his cause.
Between battles, you'll be able to increase the power of your party and spend resources on rebuilding Camelot, and Kabam says that there'll be plenty of extra content that reveals more about the world and people that you encounter in Arthur's quest. For more details on the game and to sign up for the open beta, you can find more details on its official site.
