Original Xbox Hit Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders Coming to PC This Year

The real-time strategy action hybrid original Xbox game Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders is coming to PC soon. According to an official press release from developer Blueside, the classic will launch on Steam sometime during Q1 of 2020. The announcement follows the launch of Kingdom Under Fire 2, which was released on Steam late last year after coming out on PlayStation 4 in 2013. Coming to PC in early 2020 will put this version of Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders just shy of 16 years behind the original release on Xbox, which came out on October 12, 2004.

Players will also still be able to use heroes during specifically controlled moments and make use of the four different nations to explore the full plot of the game. While the action is said to be unchanged and authentic in this port, keyboard and mouse support has been added to the gamepad controls of the original as well as HD graphics. In news of other titles coming to PC, reports are strongly suggesting we'll see PS4 exclusive Horizon Zero Dawn get a PC port at some point.
