King Arthur: Legends Rise will be available for PC and mobile devices, and will feature crossplay and cross-progression between the two platforms. "We are thrilled that Kabam has chosen Unreal Engine 5 to build their great-looking squad-based RPG for mobile and PC," said Tim Sweeney Founder and CEO of Epic Games.”
Some of the features highlighted for King Arthur: Legends Rise are a “dark and mysterious” campaign that follows a young King Arthur. Players will be able to create a roster of fighters that includes Wizards, Knights, and other medieval staples.
