For The King II · published
Adventurers! The time is finally here to dive into the brand new chapter in For The King II!
We are extremely excited to announce that the Child Of Chaos, returning playable Monk, and Tinkerers Of Fate DLCs are now available!
All players will automatically gain access to both the playable Monk character and Child Of Chaos DLC for free. The Tinkerers Of Fate Character pack is available for purchase and adds additional content to the game, including two new classes, new weapon sets, cosmetics, pets, mercs, and more!
The Child Of Chaos Adventure is now available for all players, launching alongside the returning Monk class from For The King, for free!
Explore a new chapter in Fahrul’s history, as we peer back into the realm to see what has happened following the finale of For The King II.
As members of The Resistance, once more you will be tasked with delving into all-new biomes full of some fresh faces, some perhaps more familiar than others… Plus new enemies, weapons, encounters, and more!
We cannot wait for you to dig into the new Adventure and learn more about what’s next for Fahrul. Take a look at what lies in wait for you below!
All players will be granted access to this new chapter and will not require completion of the previous five chapters to unlock.
The new Child Of Chaos chapter is not the only free addition, either! Returning from the halls of hallowed heroes, the Monk brings its tranquil acts of defiance to the Resistance, boasting a familiar suite of support skills designed to keep the party Focused and healthy.
Players of the original For The King will be happy to learn that while bringing some new tricks to Fahrul, the Monk still holds the same charm and playstyle they operated in the previous title.
Check out our Character Introductions and Synergy Guide on the Monk if you want some tips before heading into the fray.
Today marks the release of our first paid Character Pack, The Tinkerers Of Fate!
Introducing the Fortune Teller and Toymaker to the Resistance. Two new characters that bring some rather unique additions to the party.
Purchasing the Tinkerers Of Fate Character Pack also grants players access to several other new additions, including a new Voodoo-themed Merc, Jelly Skelly pet, Training Dummy Skin Cosmetic, Rapier weapon set, Orb weapon set, and a new Trait - Grill Master.
The Fortune Teller comes equipped with the new Orb weapon. Designed to supply Focus and support to teammates while charging their attacks over rounds for a huge damage multiplier!
Each turn, the Fortune Teller may use a Secondary Action to provide Focus to a party member or themself, then use that Focus to charge their Orb for that turn. This provides a compounding damage multiplier that can lead to some huge damage numbers! Be sure not to count the Fortune Teller out based on the first impressions of the Orb’s low damage output before a good charge!
Their arcane trickery does not end there, however.
Empowered manipulators of destiny, the Fortune Teller can alter the trajectory of the party by asking the powers of Fate to intervene. When the Fortune Teller, or a fellow party member, rolls a particularly unlucky roll on the die, Fate may interfere to cause a brand new roll to fill the slots! Though these rolls are not guaranteed to be better than the original, they offer a new chance by twisting the flow of Fate.
The final piece of their toolkit comes in the form of Fortune. A unique skill that allows the Fortune Teller to find Tarot Cards, which in turn can be used on the overworld or in combat for a chance at a random buff or effect. These can range from max health buffs to new and quirky statuses, such as the Linked status that connects two party members’ health pools—for better or worse!
Learn more about the Fortune Teller’s loadout, toolset, and ideal place in the party with our Character Introductions and Synergy Guides here.
The enigmatic Toymaker slices into action with their dexterous Rapier by their side and Button Shield upon their forearm. Tormenting and teasing their prey, the Toymaker possesses the ability to stuff the essence of their foes into the ominous dolls they carry on their person at all times.
Appropriately titled Plaything, the Toymaker’s talent allows them to recreate their enemies as allies in combat, using the dolls they so delicately shoved the souls of their adversaries into. This has a chance to trigger when the Toymaker finishes off an enemy, further enabled by their opening loadout, which features a weapon with an additional Primary Action.
The Toymaker brings a summon-focused role to For The King II, and you can learn more about their toolset, loadout, and party synergies in our latest guides and character introductions.
In addition to the excitement of The Child of Chaos adventure and the Tinkerers Of Fate character pack, we’ve also added some new features, changed up some areas of the game, and solved a bunch of reported bugs.
We’ve updated the main menu to be a lot more dynamic. Ranging from adding items upon completing certain tasks, improved camera flows, and a revamped News section.
