Over at NeocoreGames, we’re thrilled to announce the impending release of King Arthur: Legion IX on Xbox Series X|S. This stand-alone chapter in our tactical RPG lineup introduces you to a dark fantasy universe reminiscent of King Arthur: Knight’s Tale. Whether you’re an avid strategist or just starting your journey in Avalon, there’s plenty here to engage you: new heroes, a fresh narrative, and loads of challenging encounters await your blade—or in this case, your gladius.
In this adventure, an unexpected threat emerges in Avalon. The notorious Ninth Legion of Rome has resurfaced from the annals of legend, marching onto this mystical island from the depths of Tartarus. At the helm is Gaius Julius Mento, once a proud Roman tribune and now commander of a demonic horde, courtesy of the late emperor, Septimus Sulla. Gaius dreams of constructing an Eternal Rome right in Avalon, but first, he must rally his scattered legion.
You’ll take on the role of Gaius, leading the Ninth Legion on a gritty, Roman-themed campaign. Expect to face nightmarish creatures, fierce Pict tribes, the ancient Fomorians, and the cunning SÃdhe. Prepare for epic clashes with Sir Mordred’s knights from the King Arthur legend. Through fifteen carefully crafted missions, you’ll navigate Avalon and steer the course of Gaius’ destiny.
For fans of strategic gameplay and rich storytelling, King Arthur: Legion IX offers a feast. You’ll guide a squad of five to six unique heroes through Avalon, employing tactics like using cover and setting traps while capitalizing on flanking and mastering overwatch and opportunity systems to turn battles in your favor.
Legion IX unveils six new heroes, each boasting distinct abilities and play styles. Level them up, delve into their skill trees, and arm them with powerful artifacts to become a formidable force in Avalon. Whether you approach battles with careful planning or an all-out assault, you’ll be equipped to shape your characters as you see fit.
Building Nova Roma is integral to your conquest of Avalon. Between skirmishes, manage resources and upgrade your settlement’s facilities to ensure your heroes are battle-ready.
Central to Legion IX is a pivotal choice that will define Gaius Julius Mento’s journey and the future of Avalon itself. Every decision you make will have lasting implications.
Get ready to guide the Ninth Legion and make your mark on Avalon. Join us on the battlefield on May 6, 2025.
