NeocoreGames has announced that they have delayed the early access launch of their upcoming title King Arthur: Knight’s Tale by a few days. The developer states that they still have to iron out some bumps before they release the title in early access and for this, they require a few more days before launching the title.
The developer states in the official press release that despite the title releasing in its Early Access form which is notorious for having glitches and bugs at the start, they still want to launch a game client that is as stable and polished with the majority of the bugs squashed before putting it out for players to jump in the game. The added time will allow them to finalize the last few remaining work on the early access build and ensure that the title is in pretty good shape even for an early access release.
The new release date of the early access version of King Arthur: Knight’s Tale is now January 26, 2020. Check out the announcement trailer of the game below:
King Arthur: Knight’s Tale is based on the Arhurian mythology and is a turn-based tactical role-playing game which sits between turn-based tactical games and traditional character-centric RPGs. It can be called as a hybrid of both genres as well. The game tells us a classic Arthurian mythology story filtered through dark fantasy tropes. Key features of the game include:
- Your Fights – Control a small team of heroes and fight grueling, but satisfying battles with a deeply engaging, tactical turn-based combat system. Choose from more than 30 heroes of 5 diverse classes and combine hundreds of skills and artifacts to assemble an efficient team.
- Your Heroes – Gather your own Knights of the Round Table and send them on knightly quests. These heroes are the most important resources and the most complex gameplay elements at the same time. But beware! Death is always final! You must manage them at the Round Table accordingly, planning ahead before going into battles. The character progression system is designed to be as deep as in the traditional RPGs: heroes level up on unique skill trees and the complex loot system provides unique options to fine-tune their tactical capabilities. Each hero has a distinctive personality and their loyalty is constantly changing through the decisions made by the player – in certain cases they can even leave the Round Table and turn against you.
- Your Kingdom – See the entirety of Avalon presented on a the Adventure Map, observe all the territory, select your missions and explore various places. Management in KING ARTHUR: KNIGHT’S TALE focuses on rebuilding Camelot and expanding the mystical Stronghold with new buildings that each unlock various upgrades, and also offers different ways to heal up and manage the heroes of the Round Table.
- Your Legend – Play as Sir Mordred, the former nemesis of King Arthur. Explore the mystical island of Avalon, venture on knightly quests and make decisions in various encounters where you’ll need to make moral choices, as in most RPGs, which all have impact on the story and your Morality. The end of the campaign opens up new endgame content for the bravest of all: tough new challenges appear on the map with challenging, mythic boss fights and random quests, loot, and character progression ultimately leading to the banishing of Balor, the monstrous god-king of the Fomorians himself.
- Beyond the Legend – Complete more than 50 unique points of interest on the Adventure Map, including 20 story missions and various side quests, taking place on diverse terrains. Journey to dark castle dungeons and the forests of the Sídhe, all built by using photoscanned environments and complemented by high-quality mocap animation, then rendered inside a modern PBR engine utilizing DirectX 12 to support strong, atmospheric effects. Challenge 7 enemy factions, fight more than 50 types of enemy units, overcome 10 incredible boss fights throughout your quests.
You can add the game to your wishlist right now on Steam and jump in the action when it launches in Early Access on January 26, 2020. The game managed to reach its Kickstarter goal last year and is now finally coming out in Early Access.
