Netflix has announced the latest game it is developing, called Kingdom: The Blood. It is a Single and Multiplayer Action RPG based on the popular Korean TV show Kingdom. The game will launch on PC and mobile.

Kingdom: The Blood's single-player mode will follow the story of the series, which is a zombie horror series set in 16th century Korea. Players can also create their own characters. The game also features multiplayer modes including conquest mode, multi-boss battle mode, and PvP battles.

Action Square, the game's developer, is creating the title with respect to the period elements of the series. Character creation will include historically accurate clothing options, according to Netflix. Action Square has also hired a professional Korean sword dancer to recreate the series' hack-and-slash action.

During Netflix Geeked Week, the platform announced several more games based on its popular shows, including The Queen's Gambit, Too Hot to Handle, and Shadow & Bone. It's unclear if the game will also launch on Netflix's platform as well as PC, but the addition of a "mobile" version would seem to imply that.
