King's Bounty II: The return of Aivar

1C Entertainment and Prime Matter are pleased to reveal the third and final trailer revealing King's Bounty II’s protagonists. Today’s new video introduces Aivar, the former knight of the Royal Guard, who became a mercenary against his will.

The upcoming successor of the unique and critically acclaimed turn-based tactical role-playing series King's Bounty will launch on August 24th, 2021 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Aivar, a descendant of an impoverished noble family, used to be a knight of the Royal Guard. However, at a crucial moment, he refused to support the coup that eventually led to king Claudius’s ascension to the throne. His actions saw him banished from the Guard. Aivar escaped to Artisania, where he earned a fine reputation as a mercenary and became the captain of his own troops: the Hounds of War. Recently, Aivar received an invitation to the Universal Assembly, where Prince Adrian promised to pardon him and offered a good position back with the Royal Guard. Aivar is suspicious of the offer, but thinking he’ll try his luck he sets out to meet the prince ...

Darkness descends over the world of Nostria. Conspiracies, sabotage, and necromancy are overshadowing the country. Counties are demanding independence, bandits prowl the roads, and rumors about the overwhelming power of Blight emerge from a whisper in the dark. The old King Claudius was poisoned and cannot lead the kingdom, and so his son, Prince Adrian, must now unite the struggling lands while his power and faith fall under attack. But maybe a saviour - the kingdom's last hope - is already here, to fight back and finally restore peace and order in Nostria?

King’s Bounty II will launch on August 24th on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC.
