Rift, Tera, and others were raking in cash and so the shift was made, reimagining Kingdom Under Fire 2 to accommodate those trends.

Planned as a solo Xbox 360 game that would then be expanded as an online-focussed PC game, Lee explained that the studio's Asian investors demanded that the game come to PC first to capitalize on the then exploding Korean MMO market. The studio began work back in 2007 with an estimated budget of $15 million. What happened?Ī number of things brought Kingdom Under Fire 2 low. Nothing about it looks like a game that's been struggling to release for nearly a decade. It's all very pretty,generically high fantasy but also lovingly detailed.
Cities like Accolade where you can pick up quests, an open field for wandering and getting in small skirmishes, and big mission areas. Surrounding that formula are the trappings of an MMO. The troop customization and commands relegated to text-heavy menus back in 2004 is now done on the fly through simple button or keyboard commands. You control a big, flashy hero wielding a sword and command legions of troops on a field, a more intentional and less wantonly chaotic spin on Dynasty Warriors' massive conflicts. In large missions, it looks very much like Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders, Blue Side's original Xbox game. Guiding a demo of the game E3, Lee demonstrated how Kingdom Under Fire 2 plays in 2014, so long after it was first conceived. The game is, finally, right where he wants it. Sang Youn Lee, the producer and Blue Side CEO who's stuck with the game over the years, doesn't need any more sudden changes.
Enduring false starts, major changes to the fundamental design of the game, the rise and fall of consoles, and the wild transformation of the MMO market worldwide, Kingdom Under Fire 2 remains and its coming to PlayStation 4 and PC in the near future. Many games die on the vine as production passes the three-year mark, but Blue Side's MMO sequel to the oddball action-strategy hybrid is now well into its seventh year of development.
