'Guardian Tales' Will Be Adding New World As Free Content Later This Month

In Guardian Tales you embark on a classic, adventure-type RPG to save a kingdom that has been overrun with enemies.

In Guardian Tales, a new knight recruit must quickly jump into action after a surprise attack on Kanterbury Kingdom. They must take on the role of the Chosen One and will need to travel the world to find the other 12 Champions. The player will meet various comrades in the many diverse worlds available to explore in the game. Having comrades at the player's side will be useful in fighting bigger and more evil enemies throughout their quest.

A retro-inspired fantasy-adventure game inspired by Nintendo classics, Guardian Tales isn’t all about the main quest! Players with a knack for customization will be able to decorate their floating castle known as Heavenhold once they have progressed far enough into the game. For players who enjoy social media, there’s a feature called FaceBreak. As players go through the stories, certain characters they meet will follow them on social media and post fun and interesting statuses.

Kong Studios is committed to providing Nintendo Switch players more content in Guardian Tales.

Clocking in at 100 hours, the biggest strength of Guardian Tales is the breadth of content available. Players will soon have even more to look forward to, with immersive stories and exploration coming in future updates. 

Publishing Director Changkyu Song ensures players that Guardian Tales will remain free to play and there will not be playable content locked behind paid DLC. Kong Studios will continue investing its time in developing more free content for Guardian Tales rather than transitioning into paid content.

Currently, Nintendo Switch players can experience Guardian Tales up until World 7. World 8 is expected to be released in November, along with several short stories and side stories for Guardians to enjoy. Guardian Tales will also have a content update in November bringing in more Guild Raids. 

Key Features:

  • Single Player Story Mode: This is the signature mode of Guardian Tales, where players must solve different puzzles to uncover secrets and fight monsters to clear missions. 
  • Guilds: Players can join a Guild with others after progressing through some of the story.  There are different events guild members can take part in, like Raids for ranking regards, Meteor Excavation for items, and Guild Conquests, where players fight to win as many rewards as possible. 
  • Customizable Floating Castle: Build up your base of operations at Heavenhold.  Players can enjoy different foods and entertainment unlocked throughout their playthrough. 
  • Hero and Weapon Collection: It’s dangerous to go alone! Collect and choose from over 100 different weapons - each with its unique abilities. 
  • Puzzle Solving Gameplay: Lift heavy boulders, throw explosive bombs, and sling yourself across obstacles to discover hidden pathways to amazing treasures! 
  • Intense PvP and Rankings: Assemble and synergize your best party of three heroes to face others in real-time in combat for glory!

Guardian Tales is available for Android, iOS and Nintendo Switch.
