Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom Readies for Battle on Xbox 360

Microsoft announced September 15 that Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom will hit store shelves in Q2 2007. The Xbox 360™ exclusive will take the Kingdom Under Fire franchise in a new direction as developer BLUESIDE and series director Henry Lee plan to create a truly next-generation action-role-playing game, departing from their well-known action-real time strategy formula.

Taking advantage of the processing power of the Xbox 360, randomly generated dungeons and landscapes, along with thousands of fierce on-screen enemies, will test the abilities of even the most skilled player, and will make for a new adventure around every corner. With a newly enhanced, intuitive control system, gamers will experience fast, blood-thirsty action.

Although not a direct successor to the previous Kingdom Under Fire titles, Circle of Doom serves as an important link between the storylines of its predecessors. The game features a cast comprised of heroes from all previous Kingdom Under Fire games, and depending on the player's decisions, the story can quickly branch out in unexpected directions.

Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom will also feature several Xbox Live® components. Though full details are yet to be revealed, players can choose to play alone or recruit up to four team membersonline tocontinue their quest together.

The game will be published globally by Microsoft, with the exception of Korea.
