The Mobile free-to-play Strategy MMO marks the Hollywood star’s return to a medieval setting and his first-ever mobile video game collaboration
FunPlus, a leading mobile game developer and publisher today announced a partnership with the Hollywood movie star Orlando Bloom to bring his character to life in ‘King of Avalon’, the medieval free-to-play mobile strategy game inspired by the legend of King Arthur. The actor has worked closely with FunPlus in creating a fearless half-Unmelted new hero of Avalon, ‘Orlando the Nightshard’.
Starting today, and running through upcoming months, Orlando will be a playable character with a customized storyline within the ‘King of Avalon’ universe. Orlando leaves behind his iconic bow to take the Nightshard Blade forged with Dragon’s blood to lead the locals of Avalon to victory.
Orlando Bloom arrives in ‘King of Avalon’ with a blockbuster storyline that now is part of the lore of the medieval strategy game. The new hero once was a famed and respected knight, until the Unmelted appeared – evil creatures who have brought frost and terror to Avalon. One day when traveling alone, Orlando was attacked by a horde and, while trying to fight them off, Orlando’s right hand was struck by a cursed ice blade. Without hesitation, Orlando cut off his hand but the curse of that wound was more powerful than he thought, turning him into a half-Unmelted state. When Orlando returned home, he discovered his Unmelted traces spurred fear and hatred in people in Avalon so he became an outcast, heading to Dragonsholm City to find out how the Lord of this ancient land might receive a knight marked by the Unmelted.
The Nightshard hero joins the growing roster of heroes of ‘King of Avalon’ with a unique skill: Nightshard Blade. Forged with Dragon’s blood, Orlando wields it to deal extra damage to all foes based on the player’s Infantry’s Health. Troops led by Orlando the Nightshard deal extra damage to enemy troops each round.
To celebrate this arrival, King of Avalon has shared a gift code worth $10 with hero items related to this content: ORLANDO2022. This code can only be redeemed once per account by Lunar Lords who have reached Lord Lv.16.
