The 411 on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s Brushes with Death DLC
While Warhorse Studios is doing an excellent job of keeping information like the DLC’s release date under wraps,Brushes with Deathoffers enough intrigue to make even the most skeptical of players want to learn more. With new characters and a storyline destined to provide a chaotic adventure, players joining Henry on his quest to support King Wenceslas are certainly in for an unforgettable experience.
Meet Master Votya
The DLC centers around a mysterious new character, Master Voyta, an enigmatic painter with a grand artistic ambition. Voyta seeks to create a masterpiece that will cement his legacy as one of the greatest painters of his time. Players will be drawn into his creative process, tasked with helping him find the inspiration he needs to achieve his dream. Though in classicKingdom Comefashion, this journey will likely spiral into an hours-long adventure that will involve a lot more than color theory or being the gallantly muse Votya longs for.
Voyta also introduces a brand-new gameplay feature: shield painting. This customization option allows players to personalizeHenry’s best shieldsby selecting different color combinations, patterns, borders, and central symbols. These symbols won’t just be handed out to players, though. These symbols are apparently unlocked through story progression, exploration, and interaction with certain NPCs. If relevant quests have been completed or key locations have been uncovered, players will find that these symbols are retroactively unlocked when the DLC goes live.
No Progress Blockers—Just Jump In
Unlike some expansions that require players to reach a specific point in the story, Brushes with Death is accessible right away. Those looking to access DLC content as soon as they possibly can may access it at practically any point in the game, according to Warhorse Studios. This makes it ideal for both new and returning players, giving everyone a chance to experience the new content without needing to replay longer portions of the main campaign or having to speed run throughplot-critical questlines inKingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
When Will Brushes with Death Come out forKingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
While Warhorse Studios hasn’t given an exact release date, both Brushes with Death and update 1.3 are slated for mid-to-late May. That gives players just enough time to finish any lingering side quests before diving headfirst into DLC content, but they certainly shouldn’t linger too long. Those looking to plan ahead to perfectly fit DLC content into their playthroughs should be aware that no other DLC inKingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s post-launch roadmaphas a set release date. Instead, Warhorse Studios has committed future DLCs to seasons like Fall and Winter.
Update 1.3 Brings Mounted Archery, Horse Racing, and More
The 1.3 update, a free patch that introduces exciting new features and balance tweaks, will be released alongside the DLC. Players will be able to master mounted archery and take part in horse racing minigames, with a new side quest designed to walk players through these mechanics. Additionally, update 1.3 rebalances gameplay in key areas, including significant buffs to enemies inKuttenberg, making it a far more challenging region for combat-hardened players.
