King Arthur: Knight's Tale Preview

Neocore Games, the studio behind Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor and The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing, are taking their grimdark style of tactical gameplay to the Middle Ages this March. Players will build their castle, manage their court, and set out on quests to save Britain from King Arthur. Yes, you read that right - despite his name being in the title, the legendary King Arthur is the bad guy in this one.

King Arthur: Knight's Tale can be considered a sequel to the famous legend. In the famous tale, the knight Sir Mordred (who in some tellings is Arthur's illegitimate son, in some his nephew, and in some unrelated to the king at all) leads a rebellion that culminates in a great battle. Arthur and Mordred slay one another in single combat, and Arthur's body is taken to the mystical island of Avalon to await the day when he will return to rule over Britain once more.

At the beginning of the game, it's revealed that Arthur has returned not as the hero of destiny but as an undead monster bent on destruction. Having no other choice, the Lady of the Lake resurrects Mordred, reasoning that if the traitor killed Arthur once he might be able to do it again. As Mordred, the player must gather the remaining Knights of the Round Table who wander Avalon in a state between life and death, building a force capable of ending Arthur's threat.

I'm further intrigued to read that they're not wasting materials by retelling an origin, yet picking up after Arthur passed to to Avalon.
