Cyanide Studios has announced that it’s developing two new video games based on the Confrontation universe, known as Aarklash: Legacy and Dogs of War Online, which will be released in 2013.
Originally created by Rackham, Confrontation is a medieval-fantasy world where several alliances of peoples clash at the dawn of Rag’Narok. Acquired by Cyanide in 2010, this license serves as the basis for both games, which are being developed at the same time.
Aarklash: Legacy is a tactical adventure game were the player controls the destiny of a group of fighters. The most important facet of the game is combat strategy which is based on an active pause system. However, a heavy accent will also be placed on the storyline and the evolution of its heroes.
With Dogs of War Online, Cyanide offers a management and strategy orientated free-to-play game. Players will be able to control their own mercenary companies, which they build themselves, and will compete in turn-based tactical battles inside online arenas.
Aarklash: Legacy and Dogs of War Online are currently planned for release on the PC in the second quarter of 2013.
