Kingdom Come Rising's 2nd Birthday Celebrates with a FutureView!


Kingdom Come Rising turns 2 years old today, and to celebrate we’ve got a 15-minute Hadcl4 Expo event…the second ever FutureView! The FutureView setup was first used in 2023 to announce Kingdom Come Rebirth and Metal Soldiers, and this year it’s also been used for some big announcements. Let’s get into the details!

First of all, here's the FutureView itself. If you want to see it all at once, just go ahead and watch the full video!

Now, moving on to individual announcements during the FutureView…

OUKOKU-SENKI Kingdom Come RISING

This is a brand new Japanese version of Kingdom Come Rising...but it's not just a translation! The "Skill Charge Action System" from Kingdom Come Rebirth will replace Rising's original battle system, and there are also other enhancements in the works! This game is planned to be released by the end of the year!

Kingdom Come RAID

This is the long-awaited prequel to Kingdom Come Rising, focusing on the stories of Fujen, Cruweg, and their allies! Taking on the format of a strategy/tactical RPG, it's also a fresh development gameplay-wise for the series. This game is planned to be released by the end of the year.

Kingdom Come Realms

While there wasn't much information revealed in the trailer, Kingdom Come Realms is planned to be the biggest Kingdom Come game yet. If you want more information, please check the description of the trailer on YouTube. This game is still in early development, so don't expect news for a while.

Perfect Metal PROTOTYPE

This is a brand new mecha anime project created by only a single person! The story focuses on 14-year-old Aio Marke, and how he ends up piloting the "Perfect Metal." The universe of Perfect Metal is loosely related to the game "Metal Soldiers", but it can be thought of as entirely an independent work. While the planned release date is later this year, please know that it is more likely to be delayed in release timing compared to the other projects scheduled for this year due to the complexity of making a full anime project. Currently it is planned to only be a single episode, acting as a sort of "pilot" or "one shot" for a possibly longer series involving a larger team.

NextEngine

This is a brand new, simple game engine targeted at beginners. However, it's built on top of Pygame, and thus also can be used for some more advanced projects. The game engine is open-source and available from today on GitHub!: https://github.com/hadcl4/NextEngine

Well, that’s all for today! See you next time!
