Stardock released a 2.1 version update for Sorcerer King: Rivals today. The update adds a new campaign, complete with a unique quest with all-new dialogue and text, a new villain, and an unusually well-dressed ogre.
“For this update, we teamed up with writer Chris Bucholz over at Cracked.com again,” said lead designer Brad Wardell. “The quest dialogue is fantastic, players are really going to enjoy the humor.”
The campaign begins when the player visits a nearby inn, which triggers the primary quest. A mysterious letter arrives with an unusual artifact called the Crux of Az-Adoras, which is capable of piercing the magical wards that seal off your realm from the rest of the Sorcerer King’s world. But, where did the artifact come from, and who sent it? This isn’t a world where things are done for free.
In order to solve the mystery of who sent the artifact and why, the player will need to explore the realm, taking care not to upset the irritable Sorcerer King. Each gate that you unlock with the Crux draws his attention as you explore territories that he’d previously barred you from. He’s willing to let you explore, but for a price – leave his minions be, and provide him with some of your life force now and again. For the Sorcerer King, it’s as fair a trade as anyone has ever received.
With a custom map and setting, hilarious quests, a new villain, and more, this campaign provides additional adventure and entertainment to Rivals. “We’ve got lots of plans for Sorcerer King: Rivals,” said Wardell. “This update has a pretty sizable campaign, and in the future we’ll be enhancing each individual sovereign with custom starting units, unique improvements, and some other things.”
Sorcerer King: Rivals is can be purchased on Steam or through Stardock or GOG for $29.99. For those who already own Sorcerer King, Rivals is available as an upgrade for $14.99.
