Recently, NeocoreGames announced that the tactical turn-based game “King Arthur: Knight’s Tale” will be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S starting May 6. The game’s PC version was launched on Steam last May.
Game Overview:
“Arthurian Legends: Ninth Legion” is a character-focused, turn-based strategy RPG set in the dark fantasy universe of the Arthurian legend as depicted in “King Arthur: Knight’s Tale.” The game introduces a brand-new storyline and heroes, making it accessible to newcomers to Avalon’s mythological world, while also providing tough challenges for seasoned players.
As the notorious Roman Ninth Legion resurfaces after years of disappearance, a new threat looms over this enigmatic island. Commanded by fallen hero Gaius Julius Mentor—sent by his deceased emperor Septimus Sulla—the demonic legion seeks an escape from Tartarus. Upon their unexpected arrival in the magical realm governed by the Lady of the Lake, Gaius Julius Mentor decides to conquer Avalon and establish an eternal Rome there. But first, he must regroup his lost legion…
Assume the role of Gaius Julius Mentor leading his undead Ninth Legion through a Roman-themed campaign after discovering Avalon. Face off against nightmarish monsters, challenge Pict tribesmen, terrifying Fomorians, and cunning Sidhe warriors. Across 15 meticulously crafted missions experience both paganism’s might and Christianity’s power while contending with Sir Mordred’s Knights of the Round Table.
Locate, rebuild, and defend Avalon’s sole Roman settlement as you chart your path to victory. At campaign’s end decide whether to embrace demonic power or reject Emperor Sulla’s influence to reclaim your humanity.
