Adventurers!
We’ve been hard at work following For The King II’s massive 2025 and we’re so excited to reveal the first half of 2026’s Roadmap today!
If you’re yet to try last year’s major content additions, you can dive into both new Adventures in-game for free and explore all new systems with new pets, mercs, weapons, classes, and more! You can also pick up both Character Packs via the links below, which include a total of four new characters, new weapon sets, and a whole bunch of goodies to accompany you on your journey through Fahrul.
To help you bring the squad in on your next Fahrulian adventure, you'll be able to grab the base game at 60% off and 20% off DLC here on Steam!
We have an exciting first half of the year planned out for For The King II! Our third major content drop is on the way and will include an updated fan-favourite mode from the original For The King, Dungeon Crawl: Gauntlet, new characters, cosmetics, traits, and more.
We’ve also got some smaller updates coming in the next month or so, with two free cosmetics to celebrate the Year Of The Horse, a new Elemental Orb weapon set, and a new manual save system.
Plus, an all-new Character Pack titled "Into The Wild" that'll introduce two new characters, with new weapons, cosmetics, Trait, and more! We can't wait to reveal the new characters coming your way in this pack; they're angling to be a real buzz!
We'll have more content landing in the latter half of the year, but we want to ensure the first half of the year meets player expectations, so keep an eye out for more once we've delivered these fun additions to For The King II!
Last year, we reached out for feedback on a potential save system to help alleviate some of the pressure players felt when exploring Fahrul. Following up on all the great comments and suggestions we received, we have developed a Manual Save System that will allow players to save and reload their adventures at their leisure. This is ideal for players who want to avoid the permadeath mechanic or want to reload after a simple misclick or mistake.
The Manual Save System will be available on Apprentice and Journeyman modes. For players who want to preserve the original For The King II challenge without manual save, Master is the difficulty to test your mettle and continue the permadeath adventure.
In practice, For The King II still maintains its roguelite structure—but with more players than ever digging into For The King II, we wanted to accommodate multiple playstyles to provide the best experience for the full range of adventurers!
We hope this optional addition to the game will grant players not fond of permadeath a chance to dive in, while allowing veterans of the series to continue enjoying their demise at the hands of the many fiends that prowl the realm.
To celebrate The Year Of The Horse, we’re unleashing two Horse Head cosmetics upon the Lore Store for free!
You’ll be able to grab these for zero lore during the celebration period in February, after which they will cost 20 Lore Points each.
For those who may have missed out on the original For The King, Dungeon Crawl makes its valiant return with the new Dungeon Crawl: Gauntlet mode. This new spin on a classic mode tasks players with exploring the depths of Fahrul in a free-form adventure by journeying into multiple dungeons across a randomized map, featuring new bosses, biomes, and a healthy mix of familiar faces!
This mode will also support a monthly Leaderboard, with a static monthly map seed allowing players to tackle the same layouts for a chance at the best run each month! Similar to our Dark Carnival leaderboard, those top three players each month will be added to the Stone Heroes that appear throughout the game.
Dungeon Crawl: Gauntlet will be added to the game for free for all players later this year! We’ll also have a range of fun, free additions alongside this new mode, including one particularly often-requested cosmetic that’ll have you feeling feline good...
We can’t wait to show more in the near future. Keep an eye out for more details soon!
Another For The King favourite makes their way back to Fahrul with the Dungeon Crawl: Gauntlet update; the Treasure Hunter!
Bringing their appetite for caches of gold and goodies to the realm of Fahrul once more, the Treasure Hunter joins the fray in hopes of reaping riches from the hoards of wealth buried inside the caves, castles, and manors of the realm.
They also bring with them an all-new weapon set to For The King II, Shotguns.
These ranged weapons deliver a scattershot of ammunition that’ll be sure to obliterate any wisecracking goblins that may try to impede your progress.
Alongside all the free content mentioned above, we’ll also have our third paid Character Pack, which will include two all-new characters, bringing the total character roster to 23!
This paid pack, similar to the Tinkerers Of Fate and Fallen Oaths pack, will include all new cosmetics, two new characters, new weapons, Trait, and more.
We’ll have more to share on these mysterious new additions to the Resistance in the near future, so be sure to keep an eye on our social channels, Discord, Reddit, and Twitch for the latest updates.
We are so excited for the future of For The King II, all of which would not be possible without the wonderful support from players and the community.
