The road ahead for Of Kings and Men

Of Kings and Men is looking to evolve the medieval combat slash strategy genre in a number of ways. We had a chat with project lead Florian "chadz" Hofreither about the game that's currently in Early Access.

Focus right now is on fixing things and expanding the experience as the team work towards multiple additions at the same time.

"To be honest we were a bit unprepared for the release," admits Hofreither. "First of all because it was rather successful and it was our first real release and we're still in the process of fixing things that popped up during the release. Cause those things always have highest priority. We want to make sure that our game is known as one that is stable and running and there are still issues where some the things are not working for some people so this is our highest priority. But apart from that we're working very hard on the Epic, which is the beginning of an open world game, it's not open world yet, but we plan to make it open world in the future. It's also being developed right now. And being release very soon, I can't say when, because deadlines and developers don't go well together. But it's going to be released very soon and apart from that that we're working on horses. We are working on more weapons. We are working on a tournament mode so people can play and actually see their rank in a ladder. And what else was there... We're working on a blood system that many people requested so that everything gets a bit more bloodier. And a few other things."
