The game in January will be King Arthur Pendragon. Players take on the role of knights following the chivalric code. It introduces traits and passions that reward players acting as virtuous knights as they compete for glory. King Arthur Pendragon integrates seasonal adventures where players are able to experience running not only a knight, but later, their children in long epic campaigns.
