Orlando Bloom Stars In Mobile MMO King of Avalon

Fantasy film star Orlando Bloom looks to be headlining the small screen in a new trailer for the latest update to King of Avalon.

While everybody reading this is probably familiar with film stars making product endorsements, Orlando Bloom looks to have gone all in on a recent collaboration with mobile MMO King of Avalon. Not only has the Hollywood star added his likeness as a playable character in this fantasy adventure, but Bloom is now front and centre for a new trailer that just dropped. In this live action trailer, @LordOrlando plays both the in game hero and the real life player, out to save a fortress under siege.

New Quests

This isn’t without precedent either. The actor is already in game as Orlando the Nightshard. This character adds the tale of a mysterious lost hero to the online adventure. This new warrior was a famed and respected leader of the knights, until the Unmelted, a mysterious new foe, appeared. One day, Orlando was attacked by the Unmelted in the Dragonshield Town, while trying to save others. Orlando disappeared, and a hero who looked like him but half-Unmelted was found. Now, players can explore this new lore in game, by participating in The Ballad of Orlando questlines. Happily for us, it seems that publisher Funplus is eager to expand on this new lore:

Orlando the Nightshard has already become a fan-favorite hero in King of Avalon and we’re excited to invite new players to the game to enjoy the character too” said Chris Petrovic, Chief Business Officer of FunPlus. “Orlando marks the beginning of a new era in ‘King of Avalon’, through a renewed  in-game art design, a brand new strategic mode called Tower Defense and a thrilling narrative that fans will love.”

As well as this lore update, the newest add on to this mobile free to play title also includes a new Tower Defense gameplay mode. Here, players will have to deploy heroes and troops strategically to defeat waves of the Unmelted. The Unmelted are an unusual addition to the game, approach Avalon as vicious creatures covered in snow and ice. Players will have an opportunity to explore what this means for the world, and provide a warm reception for Avalon’s invaders.
