MEDIEVAL MULTIPLAYER ROMP
'KING OF THE CASTLE'
LAUNCHES 2ND MARCH ON STEAM
Band together with friends and foes on PC and mobile to navigate a tongue-in-cheek game of pomp, backstabbing, and dubious decisions.
Tuesday, 17 January 2023 – Team17 and Tributary Games have today announced that King of the Castle, the upcoming online multiplayer party game set in a fictional fantasy medieval kingdom, is arriving on Steam on 2nd March. King of the Castle allows players to take up the mantle of Monarch or one of their Council of Nobles hailing from the game’s five unique regions. As the game’s different storylines unfold, Monarch and Nobles alike will have to work together to navigate a bizarre world of power, fantasy, and political intrigue as they reckon with the treacherous – and often hilarious – consequences of steering the fate of a potentially unstable kingdom.
