A continuation of the highly acclaimed Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders, KUF: Heroes is being developed by Blueside, which consists of the core members who created Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders, and produced/published by Phantagram. This time, KUF: Heroes raises the intensity of the fast-paced action strategy game with multiple improvements, new features, new multiplayer options for waging war over Xbox Live. An improved user interface with simplified game menus and adjusted difficulty levels will make it easy for even new players to crush their foes.

KUF: Heroes lets players assume the role of a general in a fantasy battlefield. Players must fight alongside their troops and use catapults, dragons or any means necessary to annihilate the opponents. Starting from 5 years before The Crusaders, KUF: Heroes will let gamers take seven unique new heroes through 50+ missions that will deliver 30-50 hours of ruthless medieval warfare in single-player mode alone. Each of the seven heroes has new skills, abilities and a unique link to the original story. New units and environments will add more variety and depth to the epic-scale battles. In addition, new custom missions will let players set up their own adventures by selecting their computer opponents’ level, type and skill.

KUF: Heroes also boasts enhanced Xbox Live features and new game modes such as 6-player Troop Battle Mode, 6-player Hero Battle Mode and 3-player Invasion Mode (previously known as “co-op mode”), introducing even more ways to bloody your friends and foes online. Players can also take advantage of Spectator Mode and Game Replay features to watch and learn from others or their own previous game.

Phantagram will display Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes at the upcoming E3 2005 within the Microsoft Xbox booth, and will also announce European distribution partners shortly.
