Change the worldД¬hanging a free-to-play service to a paid one isnвЂ™t simple, however. But perhaps it would if it required a single purchase to gain access.

For whatever reason, Kingdom Under Fire 2 just didnвЂ™t quite work as a free game. But Gameforge decided to take it in a different direction. Two forms of in-game currency could be purchased for real money: cubits and diamonds. The free version of the game was apparently very grindy, as Korean MMOs generally are.

German publisher Gameforge has plucked the game up to give it one last shot. The phrase вЂњdevelopment hellвЂќ has been thrown around, but it just appears to all be optics. Kingdom Under Fire 2 is a Korean MMO, and I simply donвЂ™t see how a Korean gameвЂ™s entire Asian run could be considered a beta. Recent interviews and press releases repeatedly describe this period as a beta and state that the Western release is the actual release, but that appears to be obfuscation. Shortly after, the game popped up in Russia but that too was closed down in March of last year. But in April 2017, it was shut down completely. During this period, the game was free and featured a lot of identical content to what we have in the current Western release. In late 2011, a closed beta began in Southeast Asia, which is where the game stayed until 2017. Kingdom Under Fire 2, which is actually the fifth game in the series, was announced in 2008. But it makes a certain kind of sense when you dig into its history. But Kingdom Under Fire 2 from publisher Gameforge is the only game IвЂ™ve ever heard of that did things the other way around. Slashing the required initial price to nothing is certainly a great way to get players to give a game a fair shake.

There's no specific date yet, but Kingdom Under Fire 2 will be available for PC later this year.ItвЂ™s not exactly rare for MMOs to require a purchase or subscription upon release, only to go free-to-play once its userbase dwindles. Here's the most recent trailer from PlayStation's official YouTube channel from back at E3 2015, so it might be outdated, but it should give you an idea of what to expect. However, it does seem any console version is no longer on the cards, as Gameforge have clarified as per their announcement post that they are strictly announcing a PC release.

The game finally saw limited and beta releases in Russia and South Korea, but this will be the first time the game has come to the West. News on the game went dead for a while, until 2013 when a PlayStation 4 version was announced.

However, it ended up facing many, many roadblocks, including a versionВ for Xbox 360В scheduled forВ 2010В which never came to pass, and a PS3 version announcedВ by Sony Entertainment themselves that also never saw the light of day was supposed to arriveВ in 2012. It's been a long, long time coming, with the game first revealed by developer Blueside studios all the way back in 2008 when it was set to come to 'consoles and PC'. Publisher Gameforge has announced that it is finally bringing massively multiplayer RTS hybrid Kingdom Under Fire II to North America and EuropeВ later in 2019, some eleven years after the game was originally announced.
