The release of For The King II has not gone quite as developer IronOak Games would have wanted, with a mixed response to the game over on Steam at launch.
Many people have experienced technical issues, as reported over on Steam and on Reddit. However, the studio has tonight dropped a hotfix that it claims should address the most common problems. Fingers crossed!
Beyond that, the developer has shared an update over on the game’s Steam page that outlines the next few months and what players can expect.
In that post they promise support that “will span many years” via “significant free updates to the game to expand the world and provide new game modes to enjoy solo or with your friends.”
The infographic, which I’ve attached below for your convenience, tells us more. For example, they plan to spend the next four months putting out quality of life improvements.
After they’ve made their quality of life tweaks, the studio will release the Bard class and the Infinite Dungeon Mode. Both of these will be free updates and should land in Q2, 2024.
After that, around Q1, 2025, we’ll start to get proper paid DLC. The studio writes that we’re going to be getting “significant paid expansions that will provide new adventures, items, weapons and classes to enjoy.”
