NeocoreGames is thrilled to announce the launch of King Arthur: Legion IX for Xbox Series X|S. This tactical RPG offers a fresh experience with its turn-based mechanics and character-centric gameplay set in the dark fantasy realm known from King Arthur: Knight’s Tale. Whether you’re a tactical veteran or a newcomer to the world of Avalon, this stand-alone story comes packed with new heroes and challenges that await your strategic prowess.
In the story, a forgotten threat emerges in Avalon as the infamous Ninth Legion of Rome, lost in time, resurfaces from Tartarus and claims their spot on the magical island. Led by Gaius Julius Mento, a former Roman tribune who now heads a demon army gifted by their deceased emperor, Septimus Sulla, this narrative is all about building an Eternal Rome. The first step on this journey involves rallying his dispersed legion.
Playing as Gaius Julius Mento, players will embark on a campaign across the Roman-themed Avalon. Expect to face terrifying creatures born of nightmares, battle fierce Pict tribes, and confront the ancient Fomorians and sly Sídhe. You might even find yourself dueling the knights of Sir Mordred’s Round Table from the original game. The game offers 15 meticulously crafted missions, requiring strategic thinking and decision-making that will ultimately determine Gaius’ destiny and the outcome of Avalon.
The strategic depth offered in King Arthur: Legion IX caters to gamers who love a blend of tactical combat and rich storytelling. You’ll command a squad of unique heroes, managing them through strategic battles that involve utilizing cover, setting smart traps, and mastering tactical maneuvers to outwit your enemies.
With the introduction of six new heroes, each possessing distinctive skills, you’ll have the chance to tailor their growth to suit your strategy. Level them up, hone their skills, equip them with powerful relics, and forge them into an unstoppable force as you seek to dominate Avalon, whether through careful planning or fearless engagements.
Building and maintaining a stronghold, Nova Roma, is a critical part of your adventure. You’ll need to handle resources, upgrade facilities, and prepare for battles, all while keeping your heroes ready for whatever challenges lie ahead.
The choices you make will dictate not just how Gaius Julius Mento’s tale unfolds, but also the very future of Avalon. Will you lead him down a path of power, embracing his demonic side, or restore his humanity? The story hinges on the decisions you make throughout your campaign.
Mark your calendars for May 6, 2025, as King Arthur: Legion IX promises an immersive adventure filled with tactical challenges and rich storytelling that leave you shaping the fate of Avalon with every choice.
