A blend of City Building, Social Management, Exploration and Adventure gameplay, Distant Kingdoms brings a rich fantasy world to life. Bring the Humans, Dwarves, Elves and Orcs of Talem together and help the disparate races to save the fabled land of Ineron from ruin.

Forge a civilization, building a sprawling network of towns and provide for your people’s needs through a deep web of production lines as they move through the social strata from Peasants to Nobles. 

Explore a new mysterious world filled with secrets, quests and magic as you create Tabletop RPG-like adventuring parties and have them venture out into the unexplored mists...and battle the fierce creatures that lay in wait.

Kasedo Games and Orthrus Studios have announced that Distant Kingdoms will launch into Steam Early Access on May 5, 2021.

In preparation, a new video explaining Distant Kingdoms has been released, showing off everything from starting out with a small settlement, to dealing with external influences such as emergencies and monsters.

The development plan of Orthrus Studios has also been laid out in the dev roadmap graphic below.

“We anticipate that the Early Access will last for one year, with regular feature updates scheduled during this time, driven by our own plans and shaped by community feedback throughout.”

“Our approach to Early Access is to put out a game that a player can get hours of entertainment from, a solid foundation to build on. You will be able to play all four of the races within the game (Humans, Orcs, Dwarves and Elves), discover a range of encounters on two different maps, with 40 unique goods and associated production chains implemented, and more than 60 types of buildings to construct.”

“With Early Access, we’re releasing an experience we hope you’ll enjoy, something that delights our community and provides a taste of what’s to come. We have a lot of ideas we want to include in a full release (as well as considering our player feedback) such as:

• A full Campaign Story Mode in the world of Ineron
• Fully-fledged Modding support
• Additional maps, models, productions, monsters & magic!
• Quality, polish and balancing
• More music and sound implementation

Key Features:

• Home
  • Build a sprawling network of towns and villages as you forge a new civilization.
  • Research new technologies and dabble in magical conjuration to support your growing settlements.

• Kingdom
  • Provide for your population’s needs through a deep web of production lines, as they move through the social strata from peasant to noble, catering to each race’s desires. 
  • Help the humans, dwarves, elves and orcs come together across multiple maps and scenarios in a future grand campaign to save civilization from apocalyptic ruin.
