Century Games, the studio behind the hit game Whiteout Survival, has quietly soft-launched a new strategy game: Crown of Bones. Players take on the role of a skeleton king, commanding an army of skeletal minions. The gameplay involves upgrading your forces and battling mortal enemies.
Given Whiteout Survival's success, Century Games' expansion into new genres isn't surprising. Crown of Bones has already soft-launched in several regions, including the US and Europe.
Early information suggests Crown of Bones is a casual strategy game. As the skeleton king, you'll lead your army across diverse environments, from lush farmlands to barren deserts, upgrading your skeletal warriors along the way.
Maintaining a family-friendly aesthetic similar to Whiteout Survival, the game features charming graphics. The core gameplay loop revolves around upgrades, collecting items, and tackling increasingly difficult challenges. Leaderboards allow for competition against friends and other players.
While details are still scarce, Crown of Bones appears to draw inspiration from other strategy titles, much like Whiteout Survival drew inspiration from Frostpunk. This casual approach to a familiar genre clearly resonated with players, making Whiteout Survival a major success.
Further observation of Crown of Bones will reveal its true potential. Given Whiteout Survival's popularity, Crown of Bones could very well become Century Games' next flagship title.
