NeoCore Games has announced the release of “The Saxons” sandbox expansion for its strategy RPG King Arthur – The Role-Playing Wargame, now available for purchase and download.

I throw the phrase ‘game changer’ around in the title due to the new 30 hour campaign included. No longer are you in the shoes of the legendary leader, instead swapping for a role as the head of the proud Saxons of Norfolk.

Previously, King Arthur only ran on “compulsory elements that lead you through the background story.” Now with the new freeroam sandbox mode, objectives are only strategic goals that can be completed in any order the player deems worthy. The add-on also brings five new unique heroes, three new unique unit types, 10 new hero skills and more.

“The Saxons” runs $18, and can be had now on Steam. NeoCore released a new trailer today for the expansion, have a looksee:
