As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of tabletop RPG and roguelike experience under my belt, I can hardly contain my excitement for the imminent arrival of For The King II! Having spent countless hours immersed in the original game, I eagerly anticipate the new adventures and refinements that await me in this updated sequel.

Curve Games and IronOak Games plan to launch the turn-based roguelite tabletop RPG titled “For The King II” for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One on December 12th. They made this announcement, and the game will also be accessible through Game Pass.

For The King II first launched for PC via Steam on November 2, 2023.

Here is an overview of the game, via Curve Games:

About

Initially cherished by her people, Queen Rosomon now seems to be working against their interests, forcing them into labor in Fahrul’s mines under the cover of night while she strengthens ties with ominous and wicked powers.

Assemble your team in a 4-player cooperative mode, or embark on a solitary journey within Fahrul, daringly challenging the cruel queen’s rule and aiming to put an end to her tyranny.

The makers of the popular RPG “For The King,” which combines elements of roguelike and tabletop gaming, are releasing a fresh instalment in Fahrul’s story. This new release is built on an advanced engine, offering innovation and enhancements to gameplay for both seasoned players and newcomers.

Key Features

  • Inspired by Tabletop AdventuresFor The King II is easy for anyone to pick up and play, but takes skill, patience, and strategic excellence to master whilst remaining infinitely replayable with a procedurally generated map that ensures no two playthroughs will ever be the same. Unique yet familiar dice roll inspired movement, encounter and combat mechanics add even more spontaneity and variety as your fortunes rise and fall on the roll of the dice.
  • Digestible Roguelike CampaignFor The King II provides a complete campaign with over 30 hours of gameplay, split into five separate adventures, each narratively linked. The journey is long and the path is treacherous but fear not, if your party fails you will start stronger and wiser on your next playthrough with better starting items to draft into your loadout.
  • Infinite Dungeon Mode – Roll up, roll up! Put your skills to the ultimate test with the infinite dungeon mode – Dark Carnival. Led by the devious Ringmaster, your goal is to conquer as many floors as possible before you meet your inevitable demise. Collect carnival tickets to explore new paths, discover a host of themed rooms and spin the Wheel of Death as you try to escape your fate. How far will you make it through the Dark Carnival?
  • Party of Four – Traverse Fahrul solo or with up-to three friends in four-player co-op. As a solo player you can control all characters in your party, giving you complete ownership of the campaign map and combat strategy whilst in four-player co-op you must coordinate and negotiate with your party members. Play online multiplayer with your friends controlling your own character(s) or play offline co-op on the same PC. Offline co-op supports multiple controllers; each controller will have input control on everyone’s turn.
  • Evolved Turn-Based Combat – Inspired by turn-based classics, For The King II adds strategic depth to much-loved combat mechanics with the new Battle Grid, where movement and position provide you and your enemies with strategic buffs and penalties. Defend the back row by equipping a mighty Tower Shield, push enemies into lethal pools of burning fire, or entangle melee troops with dark magic cast with weapons looted from vanquished foes. The choice is yours!
  • Explore a Fantastically Realized Realm – Fahrul is both beautiful and deadly in equal measure. On your journey you will encounter a wealth of diverse biome environments brought to life in a breathtaking art style. From lush forests, toxic swamps and lava-filled wastelands to pirate (no scratch that!) Merling-infested tropical seas, For The King II transports you deep into the wonders of Fahrul, leading you further than ever before into this stunningly-imagined land of adventure.
