For the King: Teaser Trailer Released; Kickstarter Coming September 2015

Some of you may recall that the team — now known as Iron Oak Games — which had at one point been working on The Black Gate Board Game (a board game version of Ultima 7) put that project to rest in order to pursue an original idea of their own devising: For the King, a fantasy RPG featuring a highly stylized polygonal aesthetic that I swear makes almost all of their screenshots look like pieces and sets for a tabletop game.

Well…they’ve just released a teaser trailer for the game, which you can watch above. And I would suggest that you do in fact watch it, because it’s pretty epic. Very high production values, very polished…and hopefully very reflective of what we can expect to see in-game.

The final seconds of the trailer also let on that Iron Oak will be launching a Kickstarter campaign to finance…I would assume the completion of the game?…in September, so that will be a thing to watch for.
