Publisher Gameforge has announced that it is finally bringing massively multiplayer RTS hybrid Kingdom Under Fire II to North America and Europe later in 2019, some eleven years after the game was originally announced.

It's been a long, long time coming, with the game first revealed by developer Blueside studios all the way back in 2008 when it was set to come to 'consoles and PC'. However, it ended up facing many, many roadblocks, including a version for Xbox 360 scheduled for 2010 which never came to pass, and a PS3 version announced by Sony Entertainment themselves that also never saw the light of day was supposed to arrive in 2012. News on the game went dead for a while, until 2013 when a PlayStation 4 version was announced.

The game finally saw limited and beta releases in Russia and South Korea, but this will be the first time the game has come to the West. However, it does seem any console version is no longer on the cards, as Gameforge have clarified as per their announcement post that they are strictly announcing a PC release.

Here's the most recent trailer from PlayStation's official YouTube channel from back at E3 2015, so it might be outdated, but it should give you an idea of what to expect. There's no specific date yet, but Kingdom Under Fire 2 will be available for PC later this year.
