Century Games, the creators of the hit game Whiteout Survival, have quietly soft-launched a new strategy game: Crown of Bones. In this title, players assume the role of a skeleton king, commanding an army of skeletal minions. The gameplay involves upgrading your forces and engaging in battles against mortal enemies.

Given the success of Whiteout Survival, Century Games' expansion into new genres is unsurprising. Crown of Bones, currently in soft launch in the US and Europe, offers a casual strategy experience. Players lead their skeletal army through diverse environments, from lush farmlands to barren deserts, upgrading their troops along the way.

Maintaining a family-friendly aesthetic with charming and non-threatening visuals, Crown of Bones emphasizes upgrades, collectibles, and progressively challenging levels. Players can even compete against friends and other players on global leaderboards.

While details are still emerging, Crown of Bones appears to draw inspiration from other strategy games, a strategy that clearly worked well for Whiteout Survival. The casual approach to survival, reminiscent of Frostpunk, proved highly successful for Century Games.

Further observation of Crown of Bones will reveal its unique position within the strategy game market. Considering the phenomenal success of Whiteout Survival, Crown of Bones has the potential to become Century Games' next flagship title.
