Century Games, the studio behind the hit game Whiteout Survival, has quietly soft-launched a new strategy game: Crown of Bones. In this title, players command an army of skeletal minions, upgrading their forces and battling mortal foes.

Given the success of Whiteout Survival, Century Games' expansion into new genres is unsurprising. Crown of Bones, however, has seen a relatively stealthy soft launch across several regions, including the US and Europe. But what exactly is it about?

Available information suggests Crown of Bones is a casual strategy game where you play as a Skeleton King. You'll lead your bony army across diverse landscapes, from fertile farmlands to barren deserts, upgrading your skeletal warriors as you progress.

Similar to Whiteout Survival, Crown of Bones maintains a family-friendly aesthetic with charming, non-threatening visuals. The gameplay emphasizes upgrades, collectible items, and escalating challenges. Players can even compete against friends and other players on leaderboards.

Currently, details on Crown of Bones are limited. However, judging by Whiteout Survival, it likely draws inspiration from other strategy games. This isn't necessarily a criticism, considering the casual approach to cold survival (reminiscent of Frostpunk) that made Whiteout Survival so popular.

Further observation of Crown of Bones will be necessary to fully assess its position in the market. The success of Whiteout Survival suggests that Crown of Bones has the potential to become their next flagship title.
