Gameforge — the leading Western publisher of popular multiplayer online games, including AION, Elsword, Guardians of Ember, OGame, SoulWorker, and TERA — today announced that it has acquired the North American and European publishing rights to Kingdom Under Fire 2, the long-awaited and highly-anticipated massively multiplayer online action roleplaying game from South Korean developer Blueside.
Originally announced in 2008, Kingdom Under Fire 2 is the latest and most ambitious entry in the award-winning Kingdom Under Fire series, combining massively multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG) and real-time strategy (RTS) genres for a hybrid title unrivaled in its epic scale.
Tomislav Perkovic, Chief Product Officer, said:
“The Kingdom Under Fire series is a favorite among those of us at Gameforge, so we’re very excited to partner with Blueside to continue this epic saga and finally bring it to Western markets for the very first time. We are determined to help Blueside realize their vision of the ultimate MMO, launching Kingdom Under Fire 2 for Windows PC in North America and Europe later this year.”
Sejung Kim, CEO of Blueside, added:
“Blueside has always sought a publishing partner with significant experience and a deep understanding of the Western online games market required to properly service Kingdom Under Fire 2. Based on their unique and extensive experience bringing Asian multiplayer titles to Western markets, we believe Gameforge is the publisher we’ve been looking for. We are very excited to collaborate with Gameforge to finally introduce Kingdom Under Fire 2 to fans throughout Europe and North America.”
Kingdom Under Fire 2, the latest in the popular Kingdom Under Fire series, will finally be available to Western gamers later this year for Windows PC.

Oh no no no not gameforge…
Wow, I thought this was well dead. I remember it being advertised for the Xbox 360 many years ago.
Ditto. Play Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders a lot back on the first Xbox. Thought this was dead as well after the first trailer. But it seems like we are getting an MMO instead :/
Not Xbox 360 , it was advertised for PS3 first then PS4 by the same Korean company
Wrong I remember clearly thanks. There were a series of games on the Xbox I don’t remember a single game being on Sony’s console. It may well have been going to the PS3 eventually but it was an Xbox platform series.
If I only had a pickaxe.
Welp, there goes my interest.
Waaaaamen
This took way too long
