Kingdom Eighties out on Switch this month, new trailer
We’ve got a release date for Kingdom Eighties on Switch, and the game isn’t far off with its launch planned for this month. Raw Fury and Fury Studios confirmed today that it will launch on October 16, 2023.
Kingdom Eighties, the new standalone game in the micro-strategy series, was previously announced for Switch in March. We knew it was due out sometime this year, but nothing more specific beyond that.
Here’s an overview of the game:
A stylish new spin on the hit Kingdom franchise, Kingdom Eighties is an epic adventure of micro-strategy and base-building wrapped in the neon-retro vibes of the ‘80s. As the Leader, a young camp counselor, you’ll team up with new friends like the Champ, the Tinkerer, and the Wiz to protect the town of Monarch from the relentless attacks of the mysterious Greed.
Recruit neighborhood kids and assign them roles like soldiers and builders, use coins to build and expand your kingdom, and fortify it by raising walls and defensive turrets. But be ready – when night falls, the Greed will attack without mercy. Explore your town, unlock new mounts, discover powerful weapons and tech upgrades, and manage your resources wisely to survive.
