OREM, Utah – Nov. 18, 2010 – Today independent games developer NinjaBee released the first screenshots of the Desert Kingdom, from its upcoming Xbox LIVE® Arcade title, A World of Keflings. The Desert Kingdom is one of three lands where players will use their Xbox LIVE® Avatar to build and customize cities for their small, somewhat helpless Kefling friends.

“In A World of Keflings you travel back and forth between the different lands of the Kefling world through magic portals called Kingdom Gates,” said Brent Fox, Art Director at NinjaBee. “Beyond each gate are new lands with distinct climates and different kinds of Keflings who want you to build them cities. And in each kingdom you’ll build buildings that match the style of that land made from the resources available in that part of the world.”

A World of Keflings is the sequel to the popular XBLA game, A Kingdom for Keflings, and includes several new key features not found in the first game like local multiplayer, an extensive avatar emote system and the ability to push buildings. A World of Keflings will be the first game on the Xbox 360 to allow players to bring their avatar props and pets into the game world.

A World of Keflings will arrive on XBLA this winter. No price has been announced.
