Kingdom Under Fire 2 is officially coming to North America and Europe in 2019

Quick, someone pinch me! Kingdom Under Fire 2 is finally making its way into North America and Europe for Windows PC.

Gameforge has just announced that it has secured the North American and publishing rights to Kingdom Under Fire 2 for the PC version. The western release is scheduled for late 2019.

This Korean action MMO successfuly mixes MMORPG and RTS mechanics and was previously released in regions such as SEA, China and Russia. The unstoppable rumors of a western release were always pointless, and slowly but surely doubt started to creep in.

Kingdom Under Fire 2 was originally announced in 2008 and is the latest chapter in the Kingdom Under Fire series from developer Blueside.

“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,” said Tomislav Perkovic, Chief Product Officer. “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.”

“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,” said Sejung Kim, CEO of Blueside. “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.”

Gameforge isn't new to this kind of partnership, having published games such as Aion, SoulWorker and TERA, among others. You can follow Kingdom Under Fire 2 on Facebook.

With Phantasy Star Online 2 and Kingdom Under Fire 2 coming soon to western territories, we will finally find some closure. Is there any other MMORPG that has a long overdue release in the west?
