For The King II Closed Beta is Live!

The time has finally come! We are very excited to launch our For The King II Closed Beta and give you the chance to experience the game with your friends. 

Within the Closed Beta you will play the first of five adventures, with many of the final features and systems that that will be available in the main game when we launch later this year. 

It has been an epic journey for us to get here. As a small team we have been working tirelessly to release not just a sequel to For The King, but a complete re-build of the gameplay experience from the ground up. It is not yet fully complete and finalised, there are areas that are not finished, fully polished or optimised, we are still in development and plan to make many changes before we launch. However we wanted to give you a chance to play and to let us know what you think, so that we can figure out what we need to focus on to make this game the best it can be for you. 

Please remember that this is a Beta, so you will likely find bugs or have some stability issues, this is all part of the process of helping us to learn how the game behaves when we let many thousands of adventurers loose in the re-imagined land of Fahrul. 

However, Player Guides to help to jump right in with a few pointers are here (Intro to using Focus) and here (Inventory Management). Plenty of help and Beta news and discussion is also on offer over at our Discord.

We will endeavour to give everyone who registered, access to play over the coming days, but we will need to carefully manage how we increase player count so please bear with us as we put the Beta live. 

We hope you enjoy your adventures, thank you for your amazing support over the years. We can’t wait to set off with you on the next phase of our journey together.

Sign up now to test tabletop-inspired RPG For the King 2 for free later this week




The tabletop-inspired roguelike RPG For the King made a very good impression when it arrived in 2018, and the latest trailer for the sequel also looked promising when it arrived in February. Of course, "looked promising" doesn't always mean much when it comes to how a game actually plays, so the good news is you'll have a shot at trying it yourself in a beta set to begin later this week...
