From GameWatcher: “Released two decades ago, the original Kings Bounty laid the groundwork for the Heroes of Might and Magic series of turn-based strategy games. While the latter overtook it in terms of popularity before slowly sizzling out, a well-received revival in 2008 Kings Bounty: The Legend alongside four subsequent games proved that there was still a fanbase waiting for more. Next year, Kings Bounty II is preparing to usher in the series third generation of titles.”
