SEATTLE, WA – March 16, 2025 – The King is Watching, the award-nominated roguelite kingdom builder from developer Hypnohead and publisher tinyBuild, with more than 500k units sold, bows to the power of ancient monarchs in the Crowns of History DLC, available today on PC via Steam.
Bend the knee as past royalty ravages a land in ruin. Unleash catastrophic destruction as one of three legendary monarchs. Egyptian Empress of Death, Cleopatra, raises armies from the dead to annihilate nations with excruciating pain. Revive trusted Egyptian loyalists, including Horus, Jinns, Sphinxes, and the formidable Anubis Saber Masters. Explode sand-bearing scarabs from reanimated corpses with the Pharos Blessings and remind nations of Queen Cleopatra’s might.
Xerxes, The Glass Cannon King, demolishes armies in a fraction of a second. Use Ephemeral Existence to bestow amplified damage at the cost of a 90% health penalty. Transform troops into prideful armymen, and use Sands of Time to instantly teleport soldiers and reset ability cooldowns, withering away enemy assaults in a flash.
Stand with the all-powerful emperor, Taizong of Tang, who wields the technique of offensive structures. Fortify, repair, and enhance structures into instruments of total annihilation. Hire sharpshooting crossbowmen at no cost, and conquer the realm as the Tang Dynasty’s harbinger of doom.
“Incorporating three legendary monarchs as the core of this DLC was a no-brainer,” said Semyon Itmaniuk, Head of the Hypnohead Studio. “We look forward to fans entering the battlefield as their favorite historical kings and queens, and exploring an added depth of gameplay.”
The King is Watching’s Crowns of History DLC is available now on PC via Steam for $4.99 USD with a 10% discount. The base game is available for $14.99 USD, with a 35% discount.
