When the greatest tale of chivalry ends, the nightmare begins..

Paradox Interactive and Neocore Games today released a new video interview together for the upcoming King Arthur sequel, King Arthur II. Critically praised by reviewers and gamers alike, King Arthur was received as one of the biggest surprises to emerge on the gaming scene in 2009. The Fantasy/Role-playing RTS returns in a sequel set to push the boundaries of the genre even further.

King Arthur II features a new and dark fantasy setting. No longer a valiant ruler, King Arthur is now the Maimed King trying to mend a land almost beyond repair in a stunning new plot. More heroic, large scale battles with bigger armies are at reach to defeat more powerful foes. Intense boss fights never seen before promise to pit hero’s forces against unique and terrifying enemies. A new wide range of camera control options, revised animations and an extensive tutorial will provide for the ultimate gaming experience.

“We are excited to begin King Arthur II with the Paradox publishing team,” said Zoltán Pozsonyi, Producer of King Arthur II for Neocore. “We have every intention of testing the limits in the sequel. With an extraordinary new plot and insane new battles, our community’s expectations will be blown away.”

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to add King Arthur II to our lineup of exceptional upcoming titles. From the early development that has taken place, we know this newest title will more than live up to its predecessor,” said Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox Interactive.

The interview, featuring Neocore’s Orsolya Tóth, highlights some of the new features to be found in the role-playing wargame sequel
