Century Games, the studio behind the hit game Whiteout Survival, has quietly soft-launched a new strategy game: Crown of Bones. Players take on the role of a skeleton king, commanding an army of skeletal minions. The gameplay involves upgrading your forces and battling mortal enemies across diverse environments.

Crown of Bones is a casual strategy game with a family-friendly aesthetic, featuring cute and non-offensive graphics. The core gameplay loop revolves around upgrades, collecting items, and tackling progressively challenging levels. Players can also compete against friends and other players on leaderboards.

While details are still scarce, Crown of Bones appears to draw inspiration from other strategy games, much like Whiteout Survival's success was built on a casual take on survival mechanics reminiscent of Frostpunk. The game's soft launch in regions including the US and Europe suggests high hopes for its future. Given Whiteout Survival's popularity, Crown of Bones has the potential to become Century Games' next major title.
