Discover what type of King you will be when King of the Castle arrives next year
Team17 have partnered up with developer Tributary Games, to bring King of the Castle to PC in 2023, where your choice as King is not final and Twitch viewers can vote against you, check out the announcement trailer below.
King of the Castle game hosts will play as the ‘Monarch’ and work through a series of mini storylines full of unique challenges, many of which can have far reaching consequences. For the Nobles, words are weapons, and at the beginning of each game, players will be assigned a unique homeland and be able to voice their thoughts using Twitch chat to discuss those dilemmas faced by the crown; plan not-so-secret uprisings; or vote upon key decisions, whose impact and legitimacy will be determined by the Monarch.
Throughout each story, both the Monarch and Nobles will have to work together to navigate a tongue-in-cheek world of power, fantasy, and political intrigue as they reckon with the treacherous – and often hilarious – consequences of steering the fate of a potentially unstable empire.
"King of the Castle is not just a unique game breaking new ground in social storytelling, it's also our debut game as a studio, so we're utterly focused on getting it right. Team17 has an illustrious history of helping small teams to deliver games that reach a lofty standard of quality and polish without compromising on their core premise. That's immensely important to us, and it was clear from the outset that Team17 understood that and had the resources to help us focus on development and realise the game’s full potential." - Samuel Partridge, development lead, Tributary Games
“We’re thrilled to be working with Tributary Games on King of the Castle. The game’s unique, social take on storytelling really appealed to us and we look forward to helping the team deliver players a one-of-a-kind multiplayer experience on PC in 2023.” - Roger Carpenter, Head of Studios, Team17 Digital
