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...

Sign-ups for the For The King II Closed Beta are Live!

We’ve been working hard making For The King II and are so grateful for your words of encouragement and the building excitement we feel from you about the game coming this year. We are a small Indie development team and it really does mean everything to have both your feedback and support.

We are making this game for you and want to deliver the best experience we can, which is why we now need your help to really test the game into Beta.

Sign-ups are now open and the Closed Beta will run from the 10th – 16th May so please join us and bring your friends!

We know multiplayer functionality is so important and is part of what makes For The King such a fun game to play. We have been testing with a small group of Alpha players but this Beta will help us understand how the game performs live with significantly more players and all of the variables that come with the real world player experience.

As such, please expect that you may have some stability issues and you may discover gameplay bugs, this is a Beta in which we want to push the game as much as possible so we can find as many issues as we can pre-launch.

With your help we will be able to polish and buff For The King II, we can’t wait to discover what you think of the game!

See you in Fahrul and remember to spread the word Adventurers!
