Producer and Director Sang Youn Lee shared the following information about Kingdom Under Fire II

 Kingdom Under Fire II is brand new, action RTS, in which players can control both troops and the hero at the same time. As a free-to-play MMO, players can evolve from a unknown mercenary up to the ultimate ruler of the world, and also players can explore massive scale battlefields together with friends.

The story of Kingdom Under Fire: Crusaders and Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes are based on the vast story of the Bersia continent. Kingdom Under Fire II starts its story in Bersia where approximately 120 years has passed since Kingdom Under Fire: Crusaders.

Lots of things have changed for 120 years. Regnier, the powerful hero in Kingdom Under Fire: Crusaders, disappeared and became legend. Encablossa, the God of Darkness, sent a mysterious evil one called Celes to Bersia in order to recreate the Age of Darkness and destroy the current Age of Light.

The biggest difference between Kingdom Under Fire II and the former games in the series would be scale. The former games featured simple troop strategy play, but Kingdom Under Fire II is a strategy game of grand size regarding troops. Also, heroes can use more powerful actions, and hundreds of weapon types of various troops which have more specialized strategic function. 

There are three different heroes available as well. The first is the technical Gunslinger which uses both sword and gun in battle. The second is the Spellsword which is physically weak but has powerful spells. The final hero is the Berserker which is physically very powerful.

Kingdom Under Fire II has a release window of late 2014/early 2015. Keep an eye out for more details on this game and many others as E3 2014 continues!
