King Arthur: Legion IX Drops on Steam May 9 – Get Ready to Conquer Avalon!
Yo, gamers! Get ready to dive into the dark and twisted world of Arthurian legends with King Arthur: Legion IX, hitting Steam on May 9. Developed by NeocoreGames, this turn-based, tactical RPG is about to flip the script on everything you thought you knew about the classic tales of knights and nobility.
The Stage Is Set in Avalon
In this standalone epic, set in the gritty King Arthur: Knight’s Tale universe, players will step into a fresh narrative filled with all-new heroes, alongside gnarly challenges for the seasoned pros. The scene? Avalon, a mythical land where the notorious Ninth Legion of Rome, led by the badass, fallen hero Gaius Julius Mento, crashes the party. Given a demonic boost by their dead emperor, they’re on a wild ride to escape Tartarus, only to stumble into Avalon. Their mission? To subjugate the island and kickstart Eternal Rome.
Tactical RPG Meets Dark Fantasy
Brace yourselves for a wild mix of turn-based tactics and character-driven RPG action. Control a squad of 5-6 heroes, navigating Avalon’s treacherous landscape, mastering tactical combat, and making those brain-busting moral decisions. From setting up traps to exploiting the battlefield, every move is a step towards victory or defeat. And with heroes emerging from the Abyss, you’re in for some serious leveling up, looting, and crafting to create an unstoppable force.
Craft Your Legacy
But it’s not just about brawn; strategy takes the front seat in building Nova Roma, your new base of operations. Resource management? Check. Facility upgrades? Check. Your choices ripple through the game, morphing Gaius from a demon back to a dude, or sealing his fate in the abyss.

And if you’re feeling nostalgic, snag its predecessor, King Arthur: Knight’s Tale, at a cool 60% off during Steam’s Turn Based Thursday event from April 4 to April 8.
