Les amateurs de la sympathique série King’s Bounty seront heureux d’apprendre qu’un nouvel épisode vient d’être annoncé par 1C. Intitulé Dark Side, le jeu ne devrait pas du tout révolutionner la formule mais amènera néanmoins son petit lot de nouveautés, particulièrement la possibilité de pouvoir désormais choisir la race de son héros. Ainsi on pourra semble-t-il jouer un guerrier Orc, une démonesse option paladin ou encore un vampire magicien.
A noter aussi qu’une édition King’s Bounty – Collector Pack est parue début avril, elle regroupe les quatre précédents titres de la série, soit Legend, Armored Princess, Crossworlds et Warriors of the North (plus l’add-on Ice and Fire).
La sortie de King’s Bounty – Dark Side est prévue dans le courant de l’été prochain.

MOSCOW, Russia – April 22, 2014 – 1C Company is excited to announce the upcoming release of King’s Bounty: Dark Side, the next chapter in the award-winning King’s Bounty saga.
Time has come to join the Dark Journey to the other side of Teana and visit a mysterious part of the world never before seen by royal bounty hunters.
For the first time in King’s Bounty series, players will be able to choose their hero’s race as well as class. Become a fearless Orcs warrior, lead and heal your troops as a Demoness, or use dark magic as a fearsome Vampire.
The world is in turmoil. After winning the battle of Tristrem, arrogant elves plunder Orcish villages, desecrate holy shrines, and massacre the innocents. Orc-Baghyr, the greatest living Orc warrior, is forced to flee with a handful of loyal followers. He vows to return with a stronger force and retake his homeland!
Armies of human knights invade the land of Atrixus. A young Demoness named Neoleene, still mourning the death of her royal father, and her small unit of devoted imps is all that stands in the way of the invading horde.
Castle of the ancient Morton clan is threatened by an army of vampire hunters. Young Daert leaves home to seek allies among the other Dark races. All must join him or perish.
Fates of the three heroes are sealed. They come together in the depths of the Black Cave, where many centuries ago races of Light imprisoned Ancient Evil. The heroes exchange vows and share antique artifacts, then gather their armies and march to fight for the very survival of their race. They must unite against the Light or face extinction!
