King Assassination

King Assassination is a team game in which an NPC King travels through the kingdom toward a destination. Players join the Guards, who protect the King, or the Assassins, who try to kill him. Matches support up to five players on each team, but can start with fewer players and teams do not have to be even.

Choose your side

Guards stay close to the King, watch the crowd and investigate suspicious players. They can use unique abilities to protect the King, work together to heal wounded teammates and identify threats. Killing too many innocent players can turn a Guard into a threat.

Assassins blend into the crowd, deceive the Guards and wait for an opportunity to strike. They can eliminate their targets only from behind, so positioning, patience and coordination matter. Assassins work together, stay hidden and exploit openings around the King's route.

Read the crowd

Players cannot be certain who is on their side: an innocent player may look suspicious, an Assassin may seem harmless, and a Guard may kill the wrong person. You watch player behavior and make decisions under pressure, while both teams protect or hunt around the King's route.

Match sizes and endings

Matches can be balanced or uneven, including 1 vs. 1, 2 vs. 2, 3 vs. 3, 4 vs. 4 and 5 vs. 5, as well as 1 vs. 2, 1 vs. 3, 2 vs. 4, 2 vs. 5 and 3 vs. 5.

Assassins win by eliminating the required Kings, eliminating all Guards or fulfilling their team objective. Guards win by protecting the required Kings, eliminating all Assassins or fulfilling their team objective. A match can also end when the last King reaches the destination.
