Crown of Bones Soft Launches, Bringing Dark Fantasy to Mobile

Author:Kristen Update:Jan 24,2025

Century Games, the creators of the hit game Whiteout Survival, have quietly soft-launched a new strategy game: Crown of Bones. This title casts players as a skeleton king commanding an army of skeletal minions. The gameplay involves leading your army, upgrading your units, and engaging in battles against mortal foes.

Given the success of Whiteout Survival, Century Games' expansion into new genres isn't surprising. Crown of Bones, currently in soft launch in regions including the US and Europe, offers a distinctly casual strategy experience. Players assume the role of a Skeleton King, guiding their bony warriors across diverse landscapes, from fertile farmlands to barren deserts. The game emphasizes upgrades, collectible items, and progressively challenging levels, even incorporating leaderboards for competition against friends and other players.

Maintaining a family-friendly aesthetic with charming and inoffensive graphics, similar to Whiteout Survival, Crown of Bones focuses on continuous upgrades and escalating challenges.

While details are still limited, Crown of Bones appears to draw inspiration from other established strategy games, a trend not unexpected considering the success of Whiteout Survival's casual approach to survival mechanics reminiscent of Frostpunk. Further observation will be needed to fully assess its unique elements and potential to become Century Games' next flagship title. Its predecessor's success certainly bodes well for its prospects.
