Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom Dated

The Xbox 360 debut of the Kingdom Under Fire series, Blueside's action RPG Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom, will retail January 8 in North America, Microsoft announced today. A departure from the series' action-strategy roots, Circle of Doom will debut in Asia and Australasia nearly a month prior to the North American release on December 13, and hit Europe, the Middle East, and Africa on February 1. The dungeon-crawler will feature a single player campaign and up to four-player cooperative play over Xbox Live. The members of Korean developer Blueside, a spinoff studio of fellow Korean developer Phantagram, created the original Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders (Xbox) while at Phantagram and helmed the followup title Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes (Xbox) after becoming a separate entity.
