Only 16 years earlier the ruling Goryeo dynasty of Korea was forced to swear fealty to Kublai Khan the grandson of Genghis Khan and his Mongol Horde.

Yay for an historical setting. Expeditions: Conquistador made me interested in those.

Looks like it could be very interesting.

Any idea about release?

The first episode Dusk will be out this summer.

Looks nice. It's officially on my radar. I think I said that once before but it's official now.

I like the setting. This could be a fun game, but hopefully devs aren't shy about making combat dangerous and realistic even if it is turn based. And there better be decapitations, seppukus and all that good stuff.
