NeocoreGames is thrilled to announce the arrival of King Arthur: Legion IX on Xbox Series X|S. This game is shaped as a turn-based, character-centric tactical RPG, taking place in the dark and mystical realm previously established in King Arthur: Knight’s Tale. Whether you’re a tactical mastermind or setting foot in Avalon for the first time, this standalone adventure offers exciting new heroes, a gripping narrative, and challenging battles that’ll test your mettle.
The notorious Ninth Legion of Rome takes center stage in Avalon, emerging from the depths of Tartarus to lay siege upon this mystical isle. At the helm is Gaius Julius Mento, a former Roman tribune turned leader of a demonic army, forged as a gift from his deceased emperor, Septimus Sulla. With grand ambitions, Gaius aspires to forge an Eternal Rome in Avalon, but he must first reunite his scattered legion.
In this game, you step into Gaius’ sandals, guiding the Ninth Legion through a brutal campaign colored by Roman imagery. You’ll face monstrous nightmares, fierce Pictish tribes, ancient Fomorians, and cunning Sídhe. Returning players might even recognize the knights of Sir Mordred’s Round Table from the previous game. Over fifteen thoughtfully designed missions, your choices will carve a path through Avalon and ultimately decide Gaius’ fate.
For fans of strategy blended with rich, character-driven narratives, King Arthur: Legion IX offers the best of both worlds. Command a squad of five to six heroes, each unique and versatile, as you venture through Avalon, engaging in tactical combat that requires clever use of cover, traps, and flanking. Mastering the overwatch and opportunity systems can tip the scales in your favor during intense battles.
Legion IX introduces six new heroes, each possessing distinct abilities and styles. Your mission is to develop these characters, delve into their skill trees, and arm them with powerful artifacts to dominate the battlefield. Craft your approach, whether deliberate or daring, with the tools at your disposal.
Rebuilding Nova Roma isn’t just an afterthought; it’s critical to your quest. Manage resources wisely to upgrade buildings and fortify your stronghold, ensuring your heroes are primed for the confrontations ahead.
Choices are at the core of Legion IX, impacting not just Gaius Julius Mento’s trajectory but also the fate of Avalon. As you lead the Ninth Legion into battle, every decision reverberates across the campaign, forging your unique legacy.
We eagerly anticipate your command of the Ninth Legion commencing May 6, 2025. Ready your strategy and prepare for the challenge ahead.
