Crown of Bones is Century Games\' newest release, now in soft launch

Century Games, the studio behind the hit game Whiteout Survival, has quietly soft-launched a new strategy game: Crown of Bones. In this title, players become a skeleton king, commanding an army of skeletal minions. The gameplay involves upgrading your undead forces and battling mortal enemies.

Given the success of Whiteout Survival, Century Games' expansion into new genres isn't surprising. Crown of Bones, currently in soft launch in the US and Europe, offers a casual strategy experience. Players lead a king and his skeletal army through diverse environments, from lush farmlands to barren deserts, upgrading their troops along the way.

Maintaining a family-friendly aesthetic with charming graphics, Crown of Bones emphasizes upgrades, collectibles, and escalating challenges. Players can even compete on leaderboards against friends and other players.

While details are still scarce, Crown of Bones appears to draw inspiration from other strategy games, a familiar approach given the success of Whiteout Survival's Frostpunk-inspired casual survival mechanics. Further observation will reveal its unique elements. The success of Whiteout Survival suggests Crown of Bones has the potential to become Century Games' next major hit.
