NeocoreGames is thrilled to announce that King Arthur: Legion IX is making its way to Xbox Series X|S.

No matter if you’re a strategic mastermind or a newcomer to this world, there’s plenty here to keep you engaged with fresh heroes, a gripping storyline, and plenty of intense battles that will test your mettle.
The Ninth Legion Reemerges
Avalon is facing a new threat—not your typical group of marauders. Emergent from the shadows of history, the notorious Ninth Legion of Rome has emerged from Tartarus, now marching upon this storied island. Leading them, we see Gaius Julius Mento, a once-respected Roman tribune turned demonic legion commander by their deceased emperor, Septimus Sulla. Gaius has big plans: to conquer Avalon and create his own Eternal Rome, but first, he needs to reunite his scattered legion.
Roman Conquest in Avalon
As players, you’ll step into the role of Gaius Julius Mento, guiding the Ninth Legion through an intense Roman-themed campaign. Battle through nightmarish creatures, combat fierce Pict tribes, and duel the ancient Fomorians and clever Sídhe. You might even come face-to-face with the knights from Sir Mordred’s Round Table, a familiar element from King Arthur: Knight’s Tale. Across fifteen meticulously crafted missions, you’ll shape Gaius’ journey and his ultimate destiny.
Strategy Meets Storytelling
For those who love strategy and depth of story, King Arthur: Legion IX is a dream come true. You’ll command a team of five to six distinctive heroes, navigating through Avalon and engaging in strategic combat. Master the use of cover, traps, and evasion tactics, and utilize overwatch and opportunity mechanics to turn the tide in your favor.
Heroes Rising from the Abyss
This game welcomes six unique heroes, each bringing their own skills and specialties. Level up, unlock abilities and outfit them with artifacts to carve your legend. Whether you prefer careful planning or diving headfirst into battles, the game allows you the flexibility to mold your heroes according to your play style.
Building Nova Roma
To conquer Avalon, having a solid base is crucial. The developers have ensured that rebuilding Nova Roma is central to gameplay. Between battles, you’ll manage resources, build and upgrade facilities, and prepare your heroes for the challenges ahead.
Your Choices Matter
Legion IX places significant weight on your choices, which will determine the journey and fate of Gaius Julius Mento. These decisions do more than influence Gaius’ path—they will alter the fate of Avalon entirely.
Prepare to command the Ninth Legion and make your strategic mark when the game launches on May 6, 2025. We can’t wait to see you on the battlefield!
