During Nintendo's Nindie showcase in March 2017, Raw Fury's Kingdom: Two Crowns was confirmed for the Switch eShop. Now, after all this time, the developer has finally revealed the game where you lead a kingdom and make tough decisions will arrive on 11th December.
Alongside this release date announcement is the reveal players will be able to explore two new unique and incredibly vibrant settings. The first is Kingdom Two Crowns: Shogun - inspired by feudal Japan - and will be available at launch. The second one has not been revealed, but the developer promises both will include their own special NPCs, strategies and mysteries. The new campaign-style experience will also ensure your efforts carry across to the next leader. Here's the full rundown:
At launch, Kingdom Two Crowns will feature an additional stunningly gorgeous Japan-inspired setting we’re calling Kingdom Two Crowns: Shogun which will be filled with its own unique set of NPCs, strategies, and mystery. This is on top of the already revamped and reimagined medieval backdrop Kingdom is known for, which will also don its own NPCs and more. Furthermore, additional settings will be coming to Kingdom Two Crowns post launch, each with completely new environments offering their own different items and characters. These aren’t reskins, they are settings that offer different strategies to ruling in Kingdom.
This is the most extensive undertaking of Kingdom we have ever attempted but one look at that teaser trailer and you can see it’ll totally be worth the wait. Both the current setting and the new Kingdom Two Crowns: Shogun setting overhaul Kingdom’s permadeath mechanic and introduce a new campaign style where death will still be your best teacher but you won’t be punished as severely as before.
For veteran rulers, there are plenty of new mysteries to solve in our beloved horse riding simulator. For monarchs who have yet to traverse these lands, Kingdom Two Crowns will make you swoon with its remarkable aesthetic and keep you engrossed with its simple yet brilliant strategic depth.
For the first time ever, the title will also include local co-op for all platforms. While online co-op has been confirmed for most versions at launch, online play for the Switch version is still being "explored" at this point in time.
Take a look at the Shogun teaser trailer below and tell us if you're interested in downloading this one on release.

Always wanted to try Kingdom New Lands, this one might be a must if it reviews well.
Unfortunately I couldn't get into the predecessor as much as I thought I would. Played it maybe three times. Didn't even leave the first island. I loved the artstyle and the idea. But for me there was just too many occasions where you couldn't do anything but to stand around and wait because you spend your money much faster than you get new money....maybe they fix this.
Pixel cluster + awful animation = Pass
At least they could have made a smooth background animation.
Hopefully this leads to a physical collection of the games.
So, is this a new game? Or is it an update or DLC for the existing game?
@Beluganator It's a new game, but it will be receiving (looks to be free) dlc (or updates as they are calling it).
@TsukiDeity So it’s not like Shovel Knight? They add new free content to the existing game.
@Tiefseemiez I had that happen at first, but then I learned the rules and how the game operates. It was really frustrating ng at first! Now I'm addicted. Kingdom is one of my favorite games of all time. They don't explain how it works, you have to read the basics on the internet. Dont cut trees on either side of homeless camps. Don't send workers out to cut or build unless you know they have time to get back to camp. Also, cut trees to clear land for rabbit hutches to develop. Those basic things were screwing me up at first because I didn't know how the dynamics worked.
This game and Super Mario Maker are probably the only two games I've played steadily from one launch to another. They just never get dull! I can't wait to play two crowns! I also really hope they make a physical version that isn't super limited and hard to find, or expensive.
@Rhaoulos Yeah the graphics are beautiful, but horrible too! I hate the choppy frame rate so much! But the gameplay is just awesome in my opinion. I wish they would give their choice to make graphics super basic so it could be played smoothly at 60 fps. Kingdom New Lands doesn't run smoothly on any system. I've played it on a powerful PC, on Xbox one x, PS4 pro, and they all have uneven frame pacing and practically never hold to 60 fps. I guess it's poor optimization ?!
@Tiefseemiez i always had money though I always have a unicorn but the point is to carefully manage your money.
at this rate I just need to know the price and if it will have online on switch or not.
Im waiting for the reviews, but im really curious about it.
Digging the style.
Pixel stuff with effects on top can look messy if handled poorly, but these guys know what they're doing.
I wish A Ride into the Mountains would come around too.
@Beluganator no, this is more like Shovel Knight 2, with free updates in the future.
