The moment we’ve all been hoarding our gold for has finally arrived.
Publisher Hooded Horse and developer Sad Socket have officially dropped the news that 9 Kings players have been collectively manifesting: multiplayer is officially here.
If you’ve spent the last few months meticulously perfecting your medieval layouts in isolation, it’s time to tear down those castle walls and look toward the horizon. The smash-hit kingdom-building auto-battler is throwing open its gates to the world, introducing a brand-new competitive mode where you can finally test your strategic genius against actual human brains.
Sovereign Supremacy (or Complete Chaos)
Until now, 9 Kings has been a brilliant, addictive balancing act of managing a thriving economy while engineering the perfect automated defence grid. But let’s be honest—true satisfaction doesn’t come from beating an AI. It comes from watching your best friend’s carefully planned cavalry crumble against your own chaotic genius.
The new multiplayer update introduces a dedicated competitive mode designed to prove who truly deserves the crown. You can now square off in real-time tactical showdowns against:
- Your Friends: To settle roommate disputes, office rivalries, or just for bragging rights.
- Your Foes: To crush the spirits of anyone who dares question your build order.
- Complete Strangers: Because sometimes you just need to match wits with a random internet stranger who is trying to mount a ballista onto a giant boar in peace.
Same Deep Strategy, New Unpredictable Rivals
What makes 9 Kings so special is its blend of cosy kingdom management and high-stakes auto-battling. The introduction of multiplayer completely flips the script on the meta. No longer can you rely on predictable enemy waves; now, you’ll have to scout, adapt, and counter the wild, experimental builds of live opponents.
Whether you play defensively with towering stone keeps or aggressively rush the field with weaponised wildlife, the playing field just got a whole lot bigger—and a lot more dangerous.
The update is live right now. So grab your blueprint scrolls, rally your troops, and go claim your sovereign supremacy. We’ll see you on the battlefield (just watch out for the boars).
