Silver Lemur Games, the developer of the Legend of Amberland games has announced a third game in the series with Legends of Amberland III: The Crimson Tower coming to Steam & GOG in late 2025 / early 2026, with a Nintendo Switch release to follow as well as the possibility of releasing on other consoles at a later time. The Legend of Amberland games have been described as classic western RPGs inspired by the games from the 90s like Might & Magic, Wizardry, Ultima, the Gold Box series and others.
Previous games include 2019’s Legends of Amberland: The Forgotten Crown and 2023’s Legends of Amberland II: The Song of Trees. Silver Lemur Games has emphases that while the three games all take place in the same world, they all follow a different self-contained story. The lore spans all of the games, but you do not need to have played passed entries. Legends of Amberland III: The Crimson Tower will follow a party of 7 adventurers (either pre-made or self-created) on an epic adventure to fight an evil that lurks within the land of Amberland.
The game will include:
- First person perspective, 90 degree rotation, over grid movement (like in the 90s).
- Turn-based (both combat and exploration).
- Party-based (7 heroes, either predefined or manually assembled upon new game).
- Fast paced combat, especially blazing fast against much weaker enemies.
- Quick travel to reduce backtracking.
- Easy inventory management with separate personal equipment encumbrance system and an infinite magic bag of carrying for items not equipped at the moment.
- Open world with a big overworld to explore.
- Quests (including both main storyline quests and side quests).
- Rich world lore (spanning between all games of the series, but no knowledge of prior games required).
