In the meantime, check out today’s trailer:
For the unitiated, in King’s Bounty II players take on the role of one of three heroes – each a personality with their own background – and experience a non-linear adventure in an open and vibrant fantasy world.
The gameplay is split into two distinct phases: players traverse the realm from a third-person perspective, picking up quests, exploring the wilderness, and getting to know the people they meet. When conflict arises, however, the perspective shifts to tactical, turn-based combat. Players must then make smart use of their units as they fight to win.
King’s Bounty II was initially supposed to launch last year, but was later delayed and is now on-track for an Aug. 24, 2021 release.
