Kingdom Under Fire II is an upcoming real-time strategy video game developed by Blueside for Microsoft Windows , Xbox 360 and PS3 ^[1]. It is currently set to be released in 2010 and is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders. It was announced on January 28, 2008.^[2]

Details are scarce but the game will feature both a single player campaign as well as an MMO online mode. The developers claim it will be the first of its kind, allowing players to wage war against each other on a huge scale.

Gameplay

The Gameplay of Kingdom Under Fire II will be like that of the Kingdom Under Fire's on Xbox. You chose a hero and then lead their troops to combat, when the hero engages the enemy you take direct control of the hero and you get to fight yourself. However you will need many troops such as Archers and infantry to help your hero in battle, for different type of missions you will need different units, for some you will even need a siege unit to demolish a castle wall and in Kingdom Under Fire II it is confirmed that there will be lots of castles which mean that in Kingdom Under Fire II a siege unit will probably be a good unit in your army where as in the other Kingdom Under Fire's on Xbox an Archer was all you really needed along with infantry troops.

Storyline

Set approximately 150 years after the events depicted in Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders, the game will feature the return of The Human Alliance and Dark Legion plus a new faction - the Encablossians - whose aim is to reassert the cycle of light and Dark Ages by destroying the current Age of Light, which has already run far beyond its natural course. This faction is led by Regnier (from previous Kingdom Under Fire titles) who allied himself with Encablossa during the time he was stranded in the Dark Dimension (as depicted in Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom). Whilst other heroes from previous titles may return, including Kendal who in the Dark Dimension underwent a mutation, but is able to control himself still. He is now out to stop Regneir being the only person powerful enough to stop him due to his mutation. The game will also feature a brand new cast of playable characters.

Characters

• Kendal: Confirmed by blueside to have a more important storyline than ever before. Kendal is an Ecclesian and has strong faith in the tenets of his faith. He uses a hammer and mace and will no doubt use them in Kingdom Under Fire II. Now with a mutation, Kendal is powerful and his strength rivals that of Regnier's.

• Regnier: Regnier now has mutated and his appearance has changed. He is much bigger and stronger than his former self and his powers match that of his former self, however they are more devastating now. Regnier can now overpower ogres completely, he uses a massive sword.

• Glen: Son of Gerald, Glen is a quarter elf so he lives longer than Humans, it is because of this that Humans have come to hate him because he outlives them. Glen joined the army where he could be at home and his skills appreciated.

Development

According to information disclosed March 2nd, 2010, there has been significant obstacles concerning KUFII's development - a matter said to be "heatedly debated" within the korean game industry. BLUESIDE has left the project to a newly-created company, INUCA, due to financial difficulties.^[3]
