King’s Bounty 2, the sequel to Heroes of Might and Magic creator Jon Van Caneghem’s classic tactical fantasy RPG, will no longer release in March as originally announced and is now expected to make its way to Xbox One, PS4, Switch, and PC on 24th August this year.<\/p>\n

Combat is more in keeping with the original, although its turn-based battling and strategic hex-based traversal will be bolstered by new features including Line of Sight, unique units, mid-skirmish events, and diverse environments aiming to create more interesting tactical opportunities.<\/p>\n
