'Challenge Islands', a free game update to the critically acclaimed and award-winning strategy game Kingdom Two Crowns, is set to arrive on August 29.

In Kingdom Two Crowns: Challenge Islands each challenge takes place on a unique island, all with their own custom rules, with players getting but a single attempt to conquer it. To make it trickier there is no co-op option to help lighten the burden of the challenges ahead. Survive the island and claim the Gold Crown. Fail and it’s game over.

Offering an alternative experience to the campaigns of previous Kingdom titles with tougher roguelike gameplay, the three Challenge Islands for the brave monarch are; Dire Island, Skull Island and Plague Island.

• Dire Island: With the new Dire Wolf mount as your aid, protect its pup at all costs. No crown, no monarch. No pup, no monarch!
• Skull Island:Time is running out and you must destroy the Greed Lairs. That’s right, ‘Lairs’, as in more than one!
• Plague Island: This land has been overrun and on the brink of succumbing to the Greed. On top of that, a fearsome pandemic is transforming citizens into Greed. How long can you survive in the face of such overwhelming odds?

Kingdom Two Crowns: Challenge Islands will be available for free on August 29.
