From Press Release:
October 8, 2025 – Hooded Horse and Sad Socket are excited to announce that 9 Kings now has nine kings, as the King of Time portals through from the future to join the fray and become the King of Kings, for all time! The latest update of the successful roguelite deckbuilding strategy game is available now:
A multidimensional gentleman who travels through the ages in search of more kingdoms to conquer, the King of Time joins the roster to break the time continuum (and the game) like never before. His kingdom lies in the fringes of time, somewhere between magic, sci-fi, and steampunk technology, and his deck is all about timing. Some cards reward swift play, while others promote slower, more targeted strategies. Most importantly, some cards will allow players to literally time-travel to earlier years within the same run.
With the ninth king finally on the scene, 9 Kings’ foundations are finally complete, but this is only the beginning – stay tuned for more content and patches, including new game modes. If that wasn’t enough, 9 Kings has also been nominated for “Best Early Access Game” at the 43rd Golden Joystick Awards, being held next month in London, UK. Fans can go to the official voting page to show their support and vote from now until October 31.
9 Kings is available now on PC via Steam Early Access for a base price of $19.99 / £17.99 / €19.99 / ¥1,980. It currently holds a 92% “Very Positive” rating with over 12,000 reviews.
