In today’s world of gaming, where the line between reality and fantasy is as thin as the new ultra-slim gaming monitors, Artefacts Studio and NACON have decided to throw their gauntlet into the ever-growing ring of strategy games. And what a gauntlet it is! They’ve just dropped a new gameplay trailer for “Crown Wars: The Black Prince,” and let me tell you, it’s hotter than a dragon’s breath after a curry night.

Scheduled for release on the 23rd of May, 2024, this game promises to bring all the fun of medieval warfare without any of the pesky plagues. Available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, it’s set to be the next big thing in turn-based tactics and strategy games. And for those who still rock the Switch, don’t worry, your time will come later this year.

“Crown Wars: The Black Prince” is not your average Sunday school historical lesson. Oh no, it’s a dark fantasy medieval world where you’re not just fighting for the crown, but also against a secret evil force known as ‘the Order’. They’re the kind of folks who’d steal your kingdom and not even leave a thank-you note.

From the comfort of your castle, which is less ‘Downton Abbey’ and more ‘Fortress of Doom’, you’ll be recruiting, equipping, and training soldiers. Think of it as a medieval ‘X-Factor’, but instead of singing, they’re swinging swords and shooting arrows. Your mission? To foil a diabolical plot that’s about as welcome as a jester at a funeral.

The game plunges players into the 100-Years War, a time when royal families didn’t just send passive-aggressive letters, but whole armies to settle their beef. And just when you thought it was just about the royals, in comes the Order, sowing chaos like they’re auditioning for the role of the villain in every medieval epic ever.

So, mark your calendars, set your sundials, or just stick a post-it on your fridge for the 23rd of May. “Crown Wars: The Black Prince” is coming, and it’s bringing a whole new meaning to the term ‘royal pain’.

For more information, you can visit the Steam page, but I’m afraid you’ll have to do the legwork yourself and search for “Crown Wars: The Black Prince” because, you know, rules and all that.
