“Regrettably, we must announce today that the time has come to cease the fighting on the battlefields of Bersia: Gameforge will discontinue the operation of KINGDOM UNDER FIRE 2 on 26/10/2021.
We look back on epic mass battles, hordes of enemies and, in particular, a unique community. We are grateful for the amazing time we could spend together and will always it fondly.”
Kingdom Under Fire 2’s development has been a long and arduous road fraught with delays, financial troubles, and shutdowns in several regions even before it launched in North America. The game was first announced in 2008 and was initially scheduled to launch on PC and consoles in 2009 but was pushed back multiple times until it finally launched into open beta in South Korea in May 2014. The console versions, however, never materialized and the Asian servers shut down in April 2017. This was followed by a Russian release in 2017 which lasted nearly two years before closing shop in March 2019 a few months before the game’s North American launch in November later that year.
