Century Games, the creators of the hit game Whiteout Survival, have quietly soft-launched a new strategy game: Crown of Bones. In this title, players assume the role of a skeleton king, commanding an army of skeletal minions. The gameplay involves upgrading your undead forces and engaging in battles against mortal enemies.
Given the success of Whiteout Survival, Century Games' expansion into new genres is unsurprising. Crown of Bones, currently in soft launch in the US and Europe, offers a casual strategy experience. Players lead their skeletal army across diverse landscapes, from fertile farmlands to barren deserts, constantly upgrading their troops and facing escalating challenges.
Maintaining a family-friendly aesthetic with charming, non-threatening visuals, Crown of Bones emphasizes upgrades, collectibles, and competitive leaderboards where players can test their skills against friends and other players.
While details are still emerging, Crown of Bones appears to draw inspiration from other successful strategy games. This shouldn't be surprising, considering the success of Whiteout Survival, a casual take on cold survival mechanics reminiscent of Frostpunk.
Further observation will be needed to fully assess Crown of Bones's potential. However, given Whiteout Survival's popularity, there's a strong possibility that Crown of Bones could become Century Games' next major success.
