King Arthur II will feature a new and dark fantasy setting. No longer a
valiant ruler, King Arthur is now the Maimed King trying to mend a land
almost beyond repair in a stunning new plot. More heroic, large scale battles
with bigger armies are at reach to defeat more powerful foes. Intense boss
fights never seen before promise to pit hero's forces against unique and
terrifying enemies. A new wide range of camera control options, revised
animations and an extensive tutorial will provide for the ultimate gaming
experience.

"We are excited to begin King Arthur II with the Paradox publishing
team," said Zoltan Pozsonyi, Producer of King Arthur II for Neocore. "We have
every intention of testing the limits in the sequel. With an extraordinary
new plot and insane new battles, our community's expectations will be blown
away."

"We couldn't be more thrilled to add King Arthur II to our lineup of
exceptional upcoming titles. From the early development that has taken place,
we know this newest title will more than live up to its predecessor," said
Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox Interactive.
