Update 31 - Release Plans
Hey Everyone,
And we are back with another update, as well as number of important announcements.
We are pushing forward with work on all fronts and expect to complete and release Kingdom Wars Plague later this fall. We`ll an ounce exact date later this month.
Over the past months we have been working on a number large projects which are finally very close to completion.
In a couple of weeks we are adding Tutorial Campaign. This 7 mission campaign is a historically accurate story of Genoese colonies in Crimea, including famous siege of Caffa by the Golden Horde. Campaign includes full introduction to the game and explains most of the game mechanics.
We also completing last of the game mechanics - so all the buildings and technologies will be working.
From that point on once game enters beta stage we`ll continue polish, improve and add more art and audio assets as we move towards release.
With regards to the Undead Rising DLC, we made a big mistake trying to release it before finishing and releasing the actual game:) DLCs are meant to be additional content for post-release, but we got too excited with the idea of it, and thus tried to release it before finishing the actual game...
Sincere apologies to all of you who are only interested in Kingdom Wars Plague course of the Undead Rising DLC. We will release this DLC towards the Holidays, couple of months after KWP launch. And it will be a FREE DLC.
With all that said lets take a look at today`s update
