That might be something else too, but the UI and developer sure implies it would be KoH 2.
KOH is what Total War should have been IMO. Streamlined and deeper strategic gaming, less than mediocre AI (not sure it is better or worse than TW).

It will be published by Paradox. Or not given that Black Sea Studios has been bought by Sega.

I don't mind if it's similar to Total War, as long as we get some Historical Medieval strategy game. I just hope it's good.

The first one had lots of interesting ideas and a very dumb AI. But some mods made it much better iirc.

My bad, Black Sea Studios have been bought by sega. Not sure how it will end up as it is awfully close to Total War (that it, total war if the strategic layer made any sense).

It's a bit confusing, but this Black Sea Games seems different studio with the one SEGA acquired:



- In November 2016, the founder and some developers left Crytek Black Sea (Black Sea Studios before it acquired by Crytek), and formed a new independent studio Black Sea Games

- And then in March 2017, SEGA acquired what remains of Crytek Black Sea, and renamed it as Creative Assembly Sofia

- So, Black Sea Games and Creative Assembly Sofia are two different studios

Can you refresh my memory. I thought Blacksea was bought by Cuntek in 2008 and they did nothing good since then. Are they Sega's bitches now? Their twatter acc says they are independent. Nvm, just noticed Less T_T's post.



In any case this is somewhat good news. I loved the original KoH back when i was a teen, replayed it many times over the years. Let's see how it turns out.

I hope they have the same composer doing the soundtrack.One of the best soundtracks,far better than any paradox game.In EU4,HoI4 and CK2 i stop the music,while i play KoH soundtrack.

Yes, i hope so. Borislav made fucking amazing soundtrack. I enjoyed some of his other work. Really talented guy.

Hi there Black Sea Games if the new secret project is anything related to KoH, it might be a good idea to check some of the people that have worked on the big mods for KoH (http://www.moddb.com/games/knights-of-honor)
I have played them and there some amazing things added to the game - new music, new buildings with same art style, logic of the game, troop count and etc. Hope it helps you out.
So excited to see your new secret project

All the best!

P.S. if I drop by your Sofia office would I get a sneak peak on what you are working on ?
