At NeocoreGames, we’re thrilled to announce the arrival of King Arthur: Legion IX to the Xbox Series X|S platform. This standalone, turn-based tactical RPG draws you back into the dark fantasy world first explored in King Arthur: Knight’s Tale. Whether you’re a veteran strategist or new to the mythical landscape of Avalon, Legion IX offers something enticing for everyone—fresh heroes, a gripping narrative, and intense skirmishes that will have you brandishing your sword or perhaps a Roman gladius, ready for action.
A sinister force looms over Avalon as the infamous Ninth Legion of Rome marches forth from the shadowy realm of Tartarus. Gaius Julius Mento, once a noble Roman tribune, now leads this demonic contingent, bestowed upon him by their deceased emperor, Septimus Sulla. Gaius harbors grand ambitions of establishing an Eternal Rome by conquering Avalon, but first, he must reunite his scattered legionnaires spread across the land.
Players step into the sandals of Gaius Julius Mento, guiding the Ninth Legion through an arduous Roman-themed campaign. Along the way, you’ll confront nightmarish beasts, encounter formidable Pict tribes, and engage with the ancient Fomorians and the wily Sídhe. Your journey may even bring you face to face with the knights from Sir Mordred’s Round Table, weaving a story across 15 meticulously crafted missions where every decision molds your path in Avalon.
For those who savor a blend of strategic gameplay and rich storytelling, King Arthur: Legion IX is your ideal match. You command a select group of five to six courageous heroes as you navigate Avalon’s enigmatic terrain. Combat takes on a tactical edge where mastering cover, setting ambushes, and utilizing overwatch are key to turning battles to your favor.
Legion IX introduces six new champions, each with unique skills and playing styles, inviting you to level them up, cultivate their skills, and equip them with legendary artifacts to forge an unstoppable force in Avalon. Whether your style of play leans toward careful strategy or aggressive engagement, Legion IX provides the levers to craft your destiny.
Building Nova Roma is pivotal to your success on Avalon. Players will engage in city-building mechanics—upgrading facilities and managing resources—all while gearing their heroes for upcoming challenges. It’s a dynamic addition that makes the conquest truly feel like a monumental task.
Your choices in Legion IX significantly impact the narrative. Gaius Julius Mento’s fate—and the fate of Avalon—rests on the decisions you make throughout the campaign. We eagerly anticipate your leadership of the Ninth Legion as you embark on this gripping journey, commencing May 6, 2025.
King Arthur: Legion IX emerges as a turn-based, character-driven tactical RPG set within a dark, twisted take on Arthurian legend. It appeals to both newcomers and seasoned players, with its innovative mechanics and deeply engaging storyline. This game is set to redefine your expectations of what an RPG can offer in terms of depth, replayability, and strategic complexity.
