NeocoreGames is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of King Arthur: Legion IX for Xbox Series X|S. This standalone tactical RPG invites players into a character-driven, turn-based adventure set within the grim fantasy world that fans of King Arthur: Knight’s Tale will find familiar. Whether you’re a veteran strategist or new to the lands of Avalon, you’ll discover a treasure trove of new heroes, an engaging storyline, and intense battles in this fresh outing.
In this new chapter, a formidable challenge arrives on the shores of Avalon—the notorious Ninth Legion of Rome, a force shrouded in the mists of history. Emerging from the depths of Tartarus, they set foot on this mystical island under the command of Gaius Julius Mento, a once-honorable Roman tribune. Now leading a demonic battalion bestowed by the deceased emperor Septimus Sulla, Gaius dreams of recreating Eternal Rome in Avalon. Yet, first, he must gather and unify his disbanded legion.
Players will step into Gaius Julius Mento’s shoes, guiding the Ninth Legion through an epic campaign rich in Roman lore. Expect to face terrifying monsters from nightmares, engage fierce Pict tribes, and clash with both the ancient Fomorians and the sly Sídhe. Across 15 meticulously crafted missions, your choices will carve a path through Avalon, ultimately deciding Gaius’ destiny.
For those who savor strategy and character-driven narratives, King Arthur: Legion IX offers an intricate blend of tactical combat and storytelling. Players will command teams of five to six distinctive characters as they navigate Avalon’s treacherous landscape. Mastering the mechanics of utilizing cover, laying traps, flanking adversaries, and leveraging the overwatch and opportunity systems is key to gaining the upper hand in engagements.
Moreover, this installment introduces six exceptional heroes, each with their own unique abilities and playstyles. As you progress, you’ll level them up, unlock diverse skill trees, and arm them with potent artifacts. Whether your approach is to plan each maneuver meticulously or charge boldly onto the battlefield, you have the flexibility to mold your characters to fit your playing style.
Conquering Avalon isn’t just about battle prowess; establishing a stronghold like Nova Roma is crucial. Resource management, building upgrades, and preparing your heroes at your fortress become essential tasks between skirmishes to ensure readiness for upcoming challenges.
At the heart of Legion IX lies the power of choice. Your decisions will not only influence the journey of Gaius Julius Mento but will also shape the future of Avalon.
Prepare to lead the Ninth Legion and create your own legend. We’ll see you on the battlefield on May 6, 2025. Players can join this epic saga steeped in Roman and Arthurian myths, facing perilous quests and moral dilemmas that could redefine Gaius’ very essence—will he embrace demonhood or reclaim his humanity? The fate of Avalon, and perhaps a new Rome, awaits.
