Wild Wits Studios, in collaboration with Playdigious Originals, announced during last month's Gamescom the release of Crown Gambit for 2025. This tactical narrative game plunges players into a capital on the brink of collapse, where they must prevent the kingdom's downfall. Set in a dark fantasy universe inspired by Celtic and Breton folklore and illustrated by French artist Gobert, the game presents a plot full of mysteries and twists.

Players take control of three fearless paladins: Aliza, a swordswoman who bends blood, Hael, a cleric wielding maces, and Rollo, a warrior who uses anchors as weapons. Together, they will face political and supernatural challenges, making difficult decisions that will directly influence the fate of the kingdom while pledging loyalty to one of the throne's claimants.

Mixing tactical card battles with deck-building and immersive storytelling, Crown Gambit offers multiple endings depending on the player's choices. They will have to deal with a wide range of intriguing characters and overcome enemies like bandits, powerful knights, and supernatural creatures. Additionally, they will have the opportunity to channel the power of the Ancestral Grace, a dangerous magic that comes with a high price.

The gameplay is enriched by hand-drawn illustrations, with a bold and expressionist style, accompanied by a medieval soundtrack with a modern twist. The game's atmosphere further enhances its dark fantasy setting, making the experience even more immersive.

With a unique blend of strategy and storytelling, Crown Gambit promises to be one of the most anticipated releases of 2025. Fans can expect an intense journey filled with impactful choices as they explore this universe full of mysteries and supernatural dangers.
