1C Entertainment and Prime Matter have revealed the second of three playable characters for King’s Bounty II. This new trailer introduces, Katharine, a human mage who prefers the power of word, intrigue, and magic rather than open confrontation with the enemy.
As the press release reads:
“Katharine comes from a long line of noble Rigern counts, the rulers of the rugged mountain region of Nostria. She spent more than 20 years away from Nostria, roaming the dragon ruins and the remains of ancient Antis, looking for arcane knowledge and magic. However, when Katharine stops receiving the taxes she needs to fund her expeditions and mystical research she discovers that her nephew, Maurice, has taken over her county. Outraged by this, she heads to the Universal Assembly in order to demand the return of her power from the King…
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.”
King’s Bounty 2 will launch on August 24th.
Enjoy!

I adore the the three first titles of Heroes of Might and Magic, I would love to play games like those with some QoL and modernized graphics like in the video. Never played any of the Kings Bounty games, but they look somewhat similar? I’ll check it when it comes out.
I remember playing the first one and thinking “this is like heroes but worse”.
They all have 3d graphics but I don’t mind that personally.
Sprites age well I feel, much better than 3D stuff.
Both Mainline M&M and Heroes are still very playable.
So she went out of the kingdom and away from her people for 50 years and is surprised to find out someone else is ruling now haha
Such story
Is ruler.
Is away from the country for 50 years enjoying life and doing what she likes.
Uses the taxes people pay to fund her adventures and doing what she likes.
Is surprised to find out people changed ruler.
Seems pretty familiar to me. xD
