Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is set for its first DLC and a fresh wave of free post-launch content.
The upcoming Brushes with Death DLC will bring a new storyline to the already impressively sized game, and expand the creative options available to players through further character customisation and brand new shield paintings.
The developers, Warhorse, have pointed to a brand new character, Master Voyta, who players will cross paths with along their journey. The enigmatic painter will soon become known as one of the greatest artists of his generation thanks to the help of the player.
While Warhorse have kept details fairly thin, there’s no doubt that this mission will be much more than an arts class.
What’s next for Kingdom Come?
Fans of the hugely successful Kingdom Come franchise have grown accustomed to an abundance of engaging and memorable quests, storylines and characters in the medieval inspired RPG.
But for eager fans, the initial release lacked some key features they had looked forward to. This has largely been resolved through the upcoming free update that will accompany Brushes with Death.
Racehorse have announced that update 1.3 will bring with it a host of balance changes, including a buff to in-game enemies like Kuttenberg, making his region feel much more competitive and more challenging.
The game will also be playable in an all-new hardcore mode will up the ante for players who feel they’re up for the challenge.
Additionally, the game will welcome horse racing mini-games and allow for mounted archery units, a feature that will excite all true history-buff gamers.
The paid DLC will also offer a brand new questline for dedicated fans. However, the main attraction, the ability for players to customise their shields, will feature unlockable options obtained through the main storyline by talking to characters, completing quests, and visiting certain locations.
While shield customisation will be locked behind the DLC paywall, players will have the chance to customise their in game character (Henry) through the highly anticipated barber feature, offering a variety of new hairstyles and beards to suit your imagination.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 – DLC and update release date
While no exact release date has been announced, developers Warhorse have committed to a May release according to a live stream and reports from PCGamesN.
The summer release marks the first major DLC for the game, with a smaller content pack, Lions Crest, being available from launch by players who pre-ordered the game, or available to purchase for any late comers.
