The young neighbourhood kids will be at your side, and you’ll also find some new friends along the way: The Champ, the Tinkerer, and the Wiz will lend you their skills and support in battle.

- The summer camp is just the beginning! You will travel through different locations never seen before in the Kingdom series.
