King of Thieves, the unique platform game developed by ZeptloLab released on the App Store earlier this year, has received a new update which adds a new play mode to the game.

The new King of Thieves update adds Guild Battles to the game, a new multiplayer mode where two guilds with similar rating will compete to see who can steal more treasure from one another. Each battle lasts for three days so it’s a good idea to be as active as possible. The guild which manages to steal more wins the Guild Battle, with the more active player also receiving in-game currency as reward.

The new King of Thieves Guild Battles expand the multiplayer concept of the game vastly and it looks like this is only the beginning, according to creative director Semyon Voinov. More updates with new play modes will be coming in the near future, further expanding the game.

King of Thieves is now available for download for free on the App Store.
