The Wait is Over! A letter to the Community from IronOak Games

Dear Loyal Adventurers,

Whether you’ve been with us since we launched our Kickstarter campaign all the way back in 2015, or you’ve only just joined the community, we’re so happy to have you here alongside us as we announce For The King II’s launch date— November 2nd on Steam!

Since 2015, IronOak Games has grown from a studio of three people to a team of thirteen, all thanks to the success, love, and support we received from the For The King community these past eight years! All of your enthusiasm, passion and love for our game has spurred us on to create the magical world that Farhul is today and to take the very special game that is For The King, and evolve it into something we believe is even bigger and better - For The King II.

As a small studio, we’re so proud of the work we’ve put into For The King II. Developing new gameplay innovations such as four-player co-op, landboats, mercenaries and companions, and the battle grid system, all features and systems that have built on the successful For The King experience and made it even more enjoyable. We’re so excited for you and your three friends to party up and try out!

We’re so excited to see you all jump into the lands of Fahrul. This series has been a labor of love from the day we sat down to create our very first board game prototype and we can’t wait for you to get your hands on the latest imagining.

So this is a genuine and sincere thank you from all of us here at IronOak Games. We cannot wait to continue this journey with you as we herald a new era for the franchise. Our ambition has always been to create a game that will grow and evolve with you, expanding with new adventures and new ways to play as the community grows around it, therefore our commitment to For The King II and to bringing fresh content updates through the lifecycle of the game, will span many years.

We look forward to joining you on the thrilling journey ahead.

From your fellow adventurers here at IronOak Games,

Thank you.

YOUR ADVENTURE BEGINS ON NOVEMBER 2ND!

For The King II is coming to Steam on November 2nd and we could not be more excited that you will be setting foot once again into Fahrul on an adventure of a lifetime.

The game has taken a small team of thirteen over three years to craft and bring to life. Being a rogue-lite game that encourages you to replay again and again, we hope that you and your friends will enjoy For The King II for years to come as you explore all that Farhul has to offer. We can’t wait for you to loot all the items, weapons and attire that you can lay your hands on, and unravel all the mysteries that await you, all whilst realising your true potential as a freedom fighter within the Resistance.

[h3]Exclusive Pre-Purchase Rewards[/h3]

We have created an exclusive offer for adventurers who pre-purchase the game before launch day. This special offer is for the brave souls willing to sign up early to join the Resistance and be the first to set foot on the path to freedom once the fight begins on November 2nd.

We have assembled the finest gifts to aid you on your quest to ensure you traverse Fahrul’s paths, forests, swamps, seas and dungeons in style, with the rousing chorus of the Resistance orchestra in your ears to spur you on in the darkest of moments.

Alongside these bounteous gifts, pre-purchasers will also enjoy a 10% discount on the price of the game! This discount will be available for a limited time during For The King II’s launch.



[h3]The Long Road Ahead[/h3]
Our commitment to For The King II will span many years. Our ambition has always been to create a game that will grow and evolve with you, expanding with new adventures and new ways to play as the community grows within it.

We have lofty ambitions for where For The King II will be in the years to come, and we hope to continue creating content for the game way beyond the lifespan of the original For The King, a game that grew significantly after launch into the experience you know it to be now. When we first came out of For The King’s Early Access, we had one campaign – around nine hours of adventure content and it took us three years to create a game with multiple adventures and game modes.

For The King II is already three times as large as For The King was when we launched, and we are already working on content that we will be releasing after launch. We plan to bring significant free updates to the game to expand the world and provide new game modes to enjoy solo or with your friends, as well as frequent and significant paid expansions that will provide new adventures, items, weapons and classes to enjoy.

It has taken us many years to bring For The King II to you, but the adventure is only just beginning.

See you in Fahrul friends!

Chapter 4 of Book of Lore – Weapons and Loadouts!

Welcome back Adventurers to our fourth chapter in our Book of Lore series! It is good to be back, and while we’ve been hard at work behind the scenes, we have missed you!

That’s why we are delighted to continue the devlog series and prepare you for your upcoming adventures and battles in For the King II by talking about Weapons and Loadouts.

So, what are we waiting for, let’s get to it!

Watch the full video!👇
https://youtu.be/pXSAi2yj6Fs

[h3]🛡️ Loadouts for a customizable and personalized playstyle! [/h3]

Each adventure you embark on in Fahrul will provide a set number of points to use on a selection of improved starting weapons, traits, and essential items in the loadout phase. Traits apply for the duration of your playthrough, and essential items include Godsbeard and Panax to name a few.

What you choose to spend these loadout points on is up you, but it can be very wise to have a discussion with your party about who should bring what before you start hoarding all the good stuff.

To make the playthrough extra interesting, you can pick from higher difficulty levels. Each level determines the number of loadout points that you will have available. So, you all need to spend them wisely.



We are also bringing back the Lore Store from For The King which will give you an extensive selection of items to unlock. There will also be rank unlocks, which means that the higher the rank the more you can include in your loadout. There will also be several character traits that you can unlock by playing through the campaign!

This will all come in handy on adventures where you’ll need that little bit of extra oomph to make it through with everyone’s lives and dignity intact.



[h3]⚔️ Now let’s get down to the extra fun stuff, weapons! [/h3]

We can all agree that weapons will be your best ally against the foes and dangers of Fahrul, and by comparing the stats of weapons in your inventory you can make some smart decisions about which ones to take with you. And if you decide that the legendary staff you just looted isn’t for your beefy Blacksmith needs, passing it to a class better suited is advisable. You can pass these during the looting phase or share it when you are in the overworld – don’t forget! 🫱🫲

Finding weapons are relatively easy if you’re out and about defeating enemies in combat and looting. You can also happen upon an item if you loot chests that you encounter in the overworld and dungeons – but beware of the mimic!

Side quests are also a great way to get your gloves on some rare weapons, you can see which rewards are available when selecting the quests on the quest board.



We hope we've answered some, if not all, of your questions on weapons and loadouts. Both will pay a crucial role in your adventures, whether you decide to travel alone or in a group; making decisions and sharing the resources will ensure great success for you and your party!

Until next time adventurers! ⚔️

If you haven't already, make sure you add For The King II to your Steam wishlist and keep checking back for more the Book of Lore content as we’ve got more lined up for you! 👑
