Century Games, the studio behind the hit game Whiteout Survival, has quietly soft-launched a new strategy game: Crown of Bones. In this game, players assume the role of a skeleton king, commanding an army of skeletal minions. The goal? Upgrade your forces and conquer mortal foes.
Given Whiteout Survival's success, Century Games' expansion into new genres is unsurprising. However, Crown of Bones has enjoyed a relatively under-the-radar soft launch across several regions, including the US and Europe.
Initial information suggests Crown of Bones is a casual strategy game. Players lead their bony army, upgrading their skeletal warriors as they battle across diverse landscapes, from lush farmlands to scorching deserts.
Maintaining a family-friendly aesthetic, similar to Whiteout Survival, the game features charming, non-offensive graphics. The core gameplay loop revolves around upgrades, collectible items, and escalating challenges. Players can even compete against friends and other players on leaderboards.
Details on Crown of Bones remain scarce. However, judging by Whiteout Survival's success, which drew inspiration from other strategy titles, it's likely this new game will also borrow elements from established franchises. This isn't necessarily a criticism; the casual approach to survival, reminiscent of Frostpunk, proved incredibly successful for Century Games.
Further observation of Crown of Bones will be needed to fully assess its potential. Given Whiteout Survival's popularity, Crown of Bones could potentially become their next major hit.
