While we’re working on a brand new game, fans of Battle Brothers have something to be excited about right now – we’re happy to announce that Battle Brothers will receive a free DLC called ‘Of Flesh and Faith’ on March 10th, 2022.

The focus of the DLC will be on adding two new origins to Battle Brothers, and thereby two fresh and different ways to approach the game. These two origins – the Oathtakers and the Anatomists – will be the most detailed origins in the game to date. They both come with unique mechanics, new equipment, new character backgrounds, their very own story events, and even a custom-tailored banner each. And because more variety is always nice, the DLC will add more than 50 new events in total to the game!



Here’s the list of features:

• Oathtakers – Follow the teachings of Young Anselm, fight for righteousness, and swear oaths that confer advantages and disadvantages until fulfilled.
  
• Anatomists – Further your research even if they shun you for it, dissect the corpses of your fallen enemies, and devise new ways to empower your men.
  
• New Banners – Hoist two new banners that thematically fit the new origins.
  
• New Equipment – Dress in style with new equipment that befits your origin.
  
• New Events – Experience more than 50 new events on your travels.
  

Alongside this meaty free DLC full of new content will also come a sizable update to existing content. This update will contain a whole bunch of improvements, quality-of-life features and balancing changes. Both the DLC and the free update will arrive for PC on March 10th, and at the same time or shortly afterwards for Xbox, PlayStation and Switch.

The inquisitive mind, quite naturally, turns its senses to suffering. As the eyes see and the ears hear, would one find pain to be a worthwhile teacher and, if so, in whose body? Theirs? Or yours?

Now you’re able to lead your own mercenary company through the perils of a gritty, low-power, medieval fantasy world on your favourite console. You get to decide where to go, whom to hire or to fight from the comfort of a relaxing couch. And it is your choice what contracts to take and how to train and equip your men in a procedurally generated open world campaign with controller in hand. You get to play with all the content and features of the PC version, current and future, and you’ll have access to all the DLC!

For years now, players on PC have been enjoying the Battle Brothers experience. It’s hunting down a band of Goblins only to be turned into a pincushion. It’s meeting the endearing melon mugger, and it’s sacrificing your best men to a dark god. It’s well-oiled turn-based tactical gameplay, deep character building and exploring an open world with endless replayability. It’s also dying a lot, but learning from your mistakes and getting better each time. What fun! But what if you’re a console gamer? Well…

We’re happy to announce that Battle Brothers is coming to Sony and Microsoft consoles (PS4/PS5 and Xbox One/Series X) in Early 2022!

It’s being developed by our partners Ukiyo Publishing, who have already created the Switch version of the game.

Also, fret not, we’re actually working on some new Battle Brothers content on the side!
