Kingdom III: Rising Realms Announced for 2027

Kingdom III: Rising Realms Announced for 2027

Raw Fury announced Kingdom III: Rising Realms during the Future Games Show: gamescom 2026 broadcast on August 27, 2026. The game is a side-scrolling strategy and tower defense title developed by Fury Studios, the in-house studio based in Croatia and Sweden that previously worked on Kingdom Two Crowns and Kingdom Eighties. Set in a medieval fantasy world inspired by Arthurian legend and Celtic mythology, the game casts players as a monarch who must restore a collapsed kingdom while defending against the mysterious invading force known as the Greed, which attacks each night. Unlike earlier entries that focused on defense, Kingdom III introduces a more aggressive playstyle: the king can throw a spear of light to take down multiple enemies at once. The game also expands the fortress development system, adds a revamped technology tree, and introduces Elite Soldiers, or Masters, such as the Master of Archery and the Merchant. Up to three Masters can be summoned simultaneously. The game supports local and online split-screen co-op and is planned for release in 2027 on PC via Steam, PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X|S. Japanese display support is planned.

  • Creative Director Angelica Norgren said in the demo presentation that multiple Masters exist and up to three can be summoned at once.
  • Non-combat Masters are planned, including the Merchant, who efficiently collects coins.
  • The demo showed a rescue scene where a captured Master of Archery is freed and hired.
  • Players liberate and unify multiple regions to acquire region-specific resources and technologies that boost national power.
  • The demo ended with a siege battle where players pushed siege weapons protected by archers to destroy the heart where the Greed multiply.
  • Fury Studios previously worked with solo developer Noio on the series; the studio is based in Croatia and Sweden.
  • Kingdom Two Crowns holds a "Very Positive" rating on Steam, with 90% favorable reviews from about 30,000 reviews.
  • Kingdom Eighties moved the series to a 1980s American setting with children defending their hometown; Kingdom III returns to a medieval world.
  • Automaton noted that offensive raids on enemy bases, well received in Kingdom Two Crowns, are likely to return in the new title.
