The Castle Game was announced nearly a year ago – August 2014. We haven’t heard about it much since, but we do know that it remains in the works.
Neptune Interactive’s Ayngaran Vamatheva reconfirmed to Toronto GameDevs that The Castle Game remains on track for Wii U. However, it’s been put on the back burner while the team focuses on the PlayStation 4 version. Vamatheva said that Neptune Interactive will likely be returning to development of the Wii U version for release in 2016.
He said:
“We’ve put a pause on it in order to get the PS4 version out. We’ll probably get back to it to release for next year. It is a fun console, especially with the second screen. I’d love to take advantage of it for our game, but it is not as straightforward as it might seem.”

Neptune Interactive has announced a new strategy title called “The Castle Game” for Wii U and PlayStation 4.
Here’s a brief overview:
The Castle Game is a single player experience where the focus is on defensive gameplay. The player is able to build their own castle and defend against waves of enemies. Defensive structures like walls, towers, gatehouses with burning oil, and traps can be built. These structures can be manned by archers, knights, mercenaries, catapults, sorceresses, ballistae.
The Castle Game is inspired by the likes of Warcraft, Game of Thrones, and Lord of the Rings. “It’s not a typical tower defense,” Neptune says. “The maps will be designed to give a different experience. We’ll have control point capture, sandbox, and other types of maps.”
The Castle Game will be available in February 2015. It will be playable at PAX Prime 2015 this week.
