After that, check out the new screenshots in the gallery or head past the break for the first offical trailer. Kingdom Under Fire II is scheduled to arrive on multiple (albeit undisclosed) platforms sometime in 2009.

nice looking game.. hope it's good!

Impressive, but because of the previous games, I remain skeptical.

I loved KUF: The Crusaders and KUF: Heroes. Those two were some of my favorite games from last gen.
They got RTS controls for consoles right (yes I know it's a hybrid)

Well if that was all in game footage then I am well and truly gobsmacked.

Heh, "footage." Heh. Heh. Geddit? The screenshot? Foot? Ahhhhhhh...

Impressive in game movies.

It looks like there are some portions of live rendering in there.

Not only beautiful...but further proof that white people should not ever wear cornrows.
Incidentally, while it has nothing to do with this game, that ethos also applies to dreadlocks.

Nice to see Ludwig thinking outside the box with his puns.
KUF-link?
Brilliant.

How come nobody runs out of the way of the stompy thing? I feel like even if I was fighting with some dudes, we'd all break and run to avoid getting stepped on.
Biff_McFresh @ Nov 13th 2008 4:15PM
I hear you. Even if we are enemies with different views and trying to kill each other, there would be some solidarity in regards to getting the fuck out of the way of death by stompage. I'd assume we'd just continue our battle away from the stomp zone. Seems like a fair idea that even the biggest of rivals can agree on.

It must be a linear game. You can only move forwards, not side to side.

I have no doubt that most of this video is gameplay footage. It doesn't look that much better than how great the first games looked on xbox.
-I am fully sold. KUF: Crusaders was the reason I bought an Xbox to begin with. Awesome real time war strategy that requires more than just a badass hero. The sense of tactics required actually makes this game challenging.
I do hope they added some story animation this time, though. The pushpin map navigation between battles was kind of weaksauce.

Is this the fourth KuF game? I've wanted to check these out for a while.
RiccochetJ @ Nov 13th 2008 4:27PM
Nope, this is the fifth. The first was true rts for the pc, then came Crusaders and Heroes for the xbox. Next was the dungeon crawler for the 360.
Highly recommend checking out KUF: The Crusaders. You can find it cheap and it's on the 360 backwards compatibility list.

Very little actual in game footage I suspect.

i really liked crusaders, but this one looks like its going to kick all kinds of ass. wasn't MS the publisher for the KUF series?
mutd1999 @ Nov 13th 2008 7:23PM
I'm curious to know why that huge army isn't defending it's castle from the INSIDE...instead of getting raped outside the walls. lmao
turkeybaster @ Nov 13th 2008 9:32PM
I think this trailer is how every KUF player envisioned the game should have been. I hope they can pull it off. (Throw a bone to PS3!)

The only problem I had with the original was the occasional train wrecking of army controls. Specifically, setting straifing patterns for archers on horse back, while moving infantry, and summoning (and targeting) air support.
For me, it just got unplayable by the second unlocked campaign
