Kingdom Under Fire II Still Alive, Has Screens to Prove It

Korean developer Blueside has recently released a new dump of screenshots for their upcoming (?) RTS/action-RPG hybrid, Kingdom Under Fire II. The new screens also include shots of the second revealed hero (of which there are reportedly 18 in total), Isabella, an albino dark elf who leads a resistance faction known as Kaedes. She also apparently doesn't bother wearing clothes very much.

Kingdom Under Fire II is reportedly the direct sequel to Blueside's PC RTS-RPG Kingdom Under Fire (released as Kingdom Under Fire: A War of Heroes in North America), and is supposed to combine elements of real-time strategy, action-role-playing, and massive multiplayer online games. Exactly how that works or how the game plays remain a mystery.

Kingdom Under Fire II is reportedly in development for PC and "consoles" (though precisely which "consoles" is unconfirmed) for sometime either this year or next year.

Any diehard KUF fans here that can fill us in on how closely related these games are?

Kingdom Under Fire II Trailer has Fighting in it

Blueside and Phantagram's official sequel to their Xbox RTS / RPG, Kingdom Under Fire, has received its first official trailer which is reportedly running with on the game's realtime engine. Impressive.


Blueside is touting this new installment's genre as MMOARTS (massive multiplayer online action real-time strategy), whatever that means.

No platform or release date has been confirmed at this point, but since Microsoft has published all of the Kingdom Under Fire games that I'm aware of, I would be pretty surprised to see this anywhere besides Xbox 360.
