King Arthur: Legion IX, a Turn-Based Tactical RPG, Set to Launch on May 6, 2025

At NeocoreGames, we’re thrilled to announce that King Arthur: Legion IX will soon land on Xbox Series X|S. Set in the dark and enigmatic world from King Arthur: Knight’s Tale, this new installment offers a turn-based, character-centered RPG adventure. Whether you’re a tactical pro or exploring Avalon for the first time, there’s plenty to enjoy in this standalone game. Expect fresh heroes, a captivating story, and epic battles where you can wield your sword—or gladius.

A fresh menace has emerged in Avalon, and it’s not your typical band of outlaws. The legendary Ninth Legion of Rome, thought lost to history, has re-emerged from Tartarus, stepping onto this mystical island. Their leader, Gaius Julius Mento, used to stand as a proud Roman tribune. However, he now commands a demon-imbued legion, a dark gift from the deceased emperor Septimus Sulla. Gaius isn’t just content with this power; he dreams of creating an Eternal Rome right here in Avalon. His first mission? To reunite his scattered legion.

As Gaius Julius Mento, you’ll lead the infamous Ninth Legion on a relentless Roman-themed campaign. Battling nightmarish beasts, confronting fierce Pict tribes, and engaging the ancient Fomorians and cunning Sídhe awaits you. You’ll also meet the knights of Sir Mordred’s Round Table again, which fans might remember from King Arthur: Knight’s Tale. Over fifteen meticulously crafted missions, you’ll navigate Avalon and determine Gaius’s destiny.

For those who relish strategy and intricate narratives, King Arthur: Legion IX is sure to satisfy. Take control of a squad of five to six distinct heroes as you explore Avalon. Combat involves clever use of cover, setting traps, flanking maneuvers, and mastering systems like overwatch to shift the tide of battle in your favor.

Introducing six brand-new heroes, each boasting unique skills and playstyles in Legion IX, you’ll have the chance to develop their abilities, unlock skill trees, and equip them with powerful artifacts—shaping them into the most formidable force Avalon has ever seen. Whether you’re inclined towards careful planning or full-on battles, you’ll have the freedom to mold your characters as you wish.

Building a new empire in Avalon isn’t without its challenges. Central to the game is the rebuilding of Nova Roma, where you’ll manage resources, upgrade structures, and prepare your heroes for impending challenges.

At the core of Legion IX, your choices will have a defining impact on Gaius’s journey. Each decision you make will influence not only Gaius’s fate but the future of Avalon itself. Are you ready to lead the Ninth Legion? Gear up for the battlefield on May 6, 2025.

In King Arthur: Legion IX, tactics blend with a character-driven RPG experience, inviting players to manage squads, face moral dilemmas, and reconstruct Nova Roma in a rich, tactical odyssey. Your every decision—from strategic battlefield moves to resource management—can tip the scale between success and failure, culminating in a story where Gaius might reclaim his humanity or embrace his demonic side.
