New Settlers Game No Longer a Settlers Game

The game that started life as The Settlers: Kingdoms of Anteria has changed direction. You may remember that we previewed the game a couple of years ago now. Even back then, we thought it was a bold new direction for the series, introducing a lot of new elements that weren't in the original games in the city builder series. Fan feedback over the course of beta testing in 2014 suggested that it was too bold and fans were concerned that it didn't feel like a Settlers game. Well, it looks like developer Blue-Byte agree and they have now relaunched the project under a new name. The Settlers series will continue, but not with this title.

Step forward Champions of Anteria; a tactical RTS with Active-Pause-Mode in which you can fight with three of five Champions in diverse and challenging battles. Each Champion is aligned to a magical element, and players must strategically choose the powers they bring into a battle, as interactions between affinities constitute a very important part of the gameplay. Champions of Anteria features a completely new narrative and adventure which now takes place outside of The Settlers universe it was formerly a part of.
