Kingdom Under Fire 2’s Publishing Rights Acquired by Gameforge

Gameforge, publisher of games such as Elsword, AION, Guardians of Ember and TERA announced they have officially acquired the publishing rights to Kingdom Under Fire 2 from Blueside. This latest offering in the Kingdom Under Fire series will be available to Western MMO fans later this year on PC. Kingdom Under Fire 2 was originally released in 2008, and is both an MMO and RTS  game for a fascinating hybrid titled with unbelievable scale.

“The Kingdom Under Fire series is a favorite among those of us at Gameforge, so we’re very excited to partner with Blueside to continue this epic saga and finally bring it to Western markets for the very first time,” said Tomislav Perkovic, Chief Product Officer. “We are determined to help Blueside realize their vision of the ultimate MMO, launching Kingdom Under Fire 2 for Windows PC in North America and Europe later this year.”

Set in a world where three powerful factions (the Human Alliance, Dark Legion, and Encablossians) compete for control of the land of Bersia, players choose from a variety of hero classes, and build them up, or also command armies as tacticians. Kingdom Under Fire 2 takes place 50 years after the events of Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders and features an immersive multiplayer story campaign that can be experienced online multiplayer.

“Blueside has always sought a publishing partner with significant experience and a deep understanding of the Western online games market required to properly service Kingdom Under Fire 2,” said Sejung Kim, CEO of Blueside. “Based on their unique and extensive experience bringing Asian multiplayer titles to Western markets, we believe Gameforge is the publisher we’ve been looking for. We are very excited to collaborate with Gameforge to finally introduce Kingdom Under Fire 2 to fans throughout Europe and North America.
