"While we loved slicing and dicing our way through 2005's Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders (and the subsequent Heroes mini-sequel) on original Xbox, the RTS elements that forced us to pull away from our hero to manage squads of allies left us in a huff. It seems we weren't the only ones: developer Blueside has nixed the RTS elements entirely (thank Encablosa!) to deliver straight-up combo-heavy hack-and-slash action and RPG leveling with the usual Gary Gygax–inspired story cues."
Following Electronic Theatre’s recent series of articles revealing all-new details on the highly anticipated Kingdom Under Fire II, today we have something a bit different. Having now been at the forefront of Action RTS gaming for more than a decade, the Kingdom Under Fire series is a shining light for the genre. And now approaching it’s fifth title, Blueside has taken the time to explain to Electronic Theatre’s just how Kingdom Under Fire II fits into the Kingdom Under Fire universe.
Looking forward to the game but is there a official release date of the game yet?
Kingdom Under Fire II is currently in development at BLUESIDE Inc. for PC online and console, and aims to perfect the Action Strategy genre that the series is best known for. Set to continue the ten year legacy of the Kingdom Under Fire series, Kingdom Under Fire II will be the fifth release in the successful videogame franchise.

With the January Sales right around the corner, it's time to take a look at some more of 2008's greatest achievers; disc-based retail releases from February...
