King Arthur: Knight’s Tale, the next-gen tactics-RPG mash-up on its way for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S (and already out for PC in Early Access), has just had a new developer diary released by its developers, explaining the game’s attempt to uniquely blend turn-based tactics and RPG gameplay. You can watch that video below and it should give you a good idea of what the game is all about.

Meanwhile, the developers at NeocoreGames just dropped a summer update for the aforementioned PC version, which includes, among other things, a new class (the Sage, whose abilities revolve around ice magic), controller support, and brand-new abilities for the existing characters and classes.

For more on King Arthur: Knight’s Tale, don’t miss the announcement trailer. Another tactical RPG, Marvel Midnight Suns, was announced by XCOM developer Firaxis at Gamescom last week. IGN will have the gameplay premiere for that on Wednesday at 11:30am PT/2:30pm ET.
