Source-derived summary

A World of Keflings is a city-building video game developed by NinjaBee for the Xbox Live Arcade. It was released on December 22, 2010, and is a sequel to the 2008 video game A Kingdom for Keflings. An updated Steam port on PC was released on July 29, 2025.

Gameplay

The game follows the player's Avatar (or Mii, in the Wii U version), who is a giant in the world of the Keflings. As in the previous game, the Keflings are tiny people, similar to elves, who need the player's assistance to build-up their kingdoms. The player helps them by harvesting resources and constructing buildings, tasks that can be delegated to the Keflings as well. Throughout the game, the player completes missions and visits three separate kingdoms; the Ice Kingdom, the Forest Kingdom, and the Desert Kingdom. Each kingdom features its own unique climate, resources, and characters. The players gain access to additional content if they also own ilomilo, Cloning Clyde or Raskulls.

In addition to the online multiplayer component carried over from its predecessor, A World of Keflings features local multiplayer, allowing two players to work together in the same world to accomplish tasks.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “A World of Keflings” as 2010 video game. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2010, 2008, 2025—that can be checked directly. The authority record carries competing date values—2010-12-22, 2013-03-13, 2014-11-13—which should remain separate until their references and qualifiers are resolved. The account is most persuasive where World, Keflings and video can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 2010 video game. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q18881099. None of the 4 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2008 and 2025.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
