Originally known as “Project O”, King Story is the English name given to the new life simulation game for the Nintendo Wii, with Yahuhiro Kimura (Harvest Moon) at the helm. It’s currently scheduled to arrive in the summer of 2008 in Japan, and today we’re treated to new details and screenshots.
King Story sees players inheriting the role of a timid little boy named Corobo Bred, who on finding a mysterious crown realises that it gives him the power to charm anybody he comes across into performing orders for him. As King of his Europe-based village, his task ultimately involves expanding his “empire”, keeping the residents happy and defending them from the attack of monsters.
Players will be put in charge of a number of key areas, including agriculture, construction and defense. A report from Famitsu also reveals that King Story will include time-sensitive events during the day and night cycles.
Looking very promising so far, if you ask us, especially in the vibrancy and spirited-looking graphics.
