Clash of the Kingdoms launches in Early Access on Steam and invites players to the first playtest.

February 7, 2026 — Independent indie studio New Horizons has released its turn-based strategy game Clash of the Kingdoms in Early Access, now available on Steam.

Clash of the Kingdoms is a tactical turn-based strategy where every decision can change the course of battle. Players command armies of unique units on a compact 7×7 grid, competing to either eliminate enemy forces or capture the opponent’s base.

Early Access allows players to:

• get familiar with the core combat system;

• test key mechanics of tactical battles;

• play against AI, in local mode, or online via Steam;

• influence the development of the game through community feedback.

“We are creating Clash of the Kingdoms as a fast yet deep tactical game where strategic thinking truly matters. This playtest is the first step, where we want to see player feedback and suggestions. We want to build this game together with the players,” the developers from New Horizons say.

Matches last on average 5–10 minutes, making the game ideal both for short sessions and for intense tactical duels. The final version is planned to include expanded visuals, new factions, battlefields, titles, frames, a seasonal ranking system, and tournaments.
