Kingsway

Long live the Kingsway

Kingsway is now self published!



In case you missed the news, Warner Bros is shutting down Adult Swim Games and all games published by Adult Swim Games were going to be removed from Steam and everywhere else.

But thanks to the help of several people, the publishing rights of many Adult Swim Games have been transferred to their developers and have been rescued from being delisted. Including Kingsway.

Expect a small update soon!

Thanks for playing!
