KuF2 for PC “perfected” – now looking at new platforms
When will the game be released? Kingdom Under Fire 2 will be launched in November for PC. An exact date will be announced later. The MMO-RTS is published by Gameforge.
What about the version for Xbox One and PS4? In an interview, Jubo Kim, Creative Director of Kingdom Under Fire 2, and Jonghwan Lee, Chief Product Manager, explained that the PC version of the game is now in a stable state (he even calls it perfect) and they can now focus on other platforms.
The developers have not yet announced a date for a release on PS4 or Xbox One. However, a PS4 version was already announced in 2013. The developers stated in 2017 that they do not want to release the title for Xbox One.
However, since they are now talking about other platforms in the plural, an Xbox version might still be in the works.
Is there any information about monetization? Gameforge is bringing KuF 2 to market as a Buy2Play title. The price is €29.99, but there will also be more expensive editions with cosmetic and convenience items like mounts.
Regarding the purchase of additional items, the developers are currently discussing with Gameforge what could be offered in the in-game shop.
New content is a priority
What about future content? New classes have already been announced, such as
- Paladin
- Dark Sorceress
- Vampire Prince
According to the developers, these are still in development. However, the optimization of the main game is the priority – the reputation system still needs refinement, which has received a lot of feedback from testers. Then the team will focus on new content and will talk about it as soon as they are ready.
Is there going to be an improvement in graphics? Although Kingdom Under Fire 2 still looks very good, the game was announced eleven years ago!
However, the studio is currently not planning any improvements to the visuals, but wants to focus fully on content first. Additionally, many improvements have been made compared to the discontinued Russian version, which took considerable time.
