For The King II July Developer Log—Roadmap, Sneak Peek, What's Next, and more!

[p]Greetings Adventurers!

Welcome to the latest peek inside the studio here at IronOak Games! We’d like for this to become a regular piece that provides us the opportunity to chat with our community, share fresh new content reveals, celebrate Dark Carnival leaderboards, provide a more personal look inside the studio, and share any other important news we may have for IronOak Games or For The King II.

If you’ve already seen our 2025 Roadmap, then you’ll know we’ve been hard at work creating new content, playable characters, features, and more for For The King II! Something we couldn’t have even begun to dream of without the fantastic support and passion you’ve all provided us, so thank you for all the past, present, and future contributions to our lives here at the studio. We’re excited to share more with you and your parties of eager explorers, heroes, champions, and Adventurers~[/p][h2]  [/h2][p][/p][h2]Twitch Stream[/h2][p]Join us next week, July 15th 12pm PDT/7pm UTC as we take to the air over at Twitch.tv/IronOakGames, where we’ll be showing off the new Pet Shop Update due out soon! Get an exclusive sneak preview of the new critters that will be joining you on your adventures through Fahrul. We’ll also have a bunch of copies to give away for Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox, so be sure to come along if you want to secure a free copy for yourself or a future party member! [/p][h2]    [/h2][h2]Sneak Peek[/h2][p]To whet the appetite, let’s take a look at some of the new classes coming to For The King II later this year with our first Character Pack, the Tinkerers Of Fate!

[/p][h3]The Toymaker[/h3][p]An artist who blurs the line between brilliance and madness! The Toymaker is a talent-based character that places the essence of their enemies into a child’s doll. While these creations may look intended for the entertainment of children, they hold a much more nefarious use. Once trapped, these tortured souls can be summoned into battle to do the bidding of their maker! [/p][p][/p][h3]The Fortune Teller[/h3][p]A mischievous trickster shrouded in mystery. Moving with grace, confidence, and arrogance, the Fortune Teller can alter fortune and fate with just the power in the palm of their hands. Wielding elite-level awareness, the Fortune Teller controls fate through their tarot cards. Just as the fates decide, their alignment knows no equal, and the outcomes of these tarot cards will alter the fortunes of Fahrul.

Hotfix 1.5.12

Greetings Adventurers!

We hope everyone had a great weekend and were able to make decent advances on the Queen
and her corruption. We have a hotfix here that aims to get people back in the battle by
addressing a couple of issues with map spawns being inaccessible, a softlock while travelling
water with Bogdrinker active, as well as a softlock in dungeon rest phase in certain
circumstances.

  • Fixed a softlock that would occur when travelling on water while Bogdrinker was an active scourge and tried to spawn a hazard while players were a certain distance from land.
  • Fixed a softlock that could occur in rest phase if there were more than four options for the player to choose from. (ie. Rest, Relax, Revive, Party Heal, Merc Deed)
  • Fixed an issue where certain quests and objectives were spawning in areas that are inaccessible.
  • Fixed a map spawn issue where the overworld could have invisible blockers. This was happening when travelling on water through the Rogue Isles

Thank you for the continued support and feedback!

Hotfix - 1.5.11

Greetings Adventurers!


Quick hotfix to address a couple of key issues from the update earlier this week. The save game compatibility issue with regards to Town Side Quests for consoles, the softlock on Chapter 5 with Purge Town Quests, and a couple of key issues affecting online sessions. This update also restores full crossplay across PC and Consoles.

Bug Fixes
  • Fixed the issue resulting with Town Side Quests causing issues from older save games. This was the cause of certain UI elements going missing or the overworld zooming in oddly.
  • Fixed the issue with the Chapter 5 Purge Town Side Quests softlocking towards the end of the adventure. Players can load right back into an affected game run and pick up where they left off.
  • Fixed an online softlock that could occur in online sessions when using Overworld Markers.
  • Fixed an online softlock that could occur on adventures where players teleport to new map locations. For example in Chapter 1 when clearing the sewers or the cellar.
  • Fixed an online issue where an NPC dialogue box would persist on the screen for host or client and not be able to be dismissed.


Thank you so much for the continued support and feedback!

Hotfix - Town Side Quests Not Working With Older Saves

Greetings Adventurers,

We have released a hotfix to Steam to address the issue with previous save files having issues after taking town side quests.

Crossplay from Steam to Xbox and PlayStation builds is temporarily disabled until the hotfix has propagated to those platforms. We will update in-game when the hotfix is live across all platforms.

Thanks again for all of the continued support and feedback!
