For The King II is already quite addictive, and now it’s giving players even more reasons to roll the dice and dive back into Fahrul.

With the arrival of the Into the Wild DLC alongside a hefty Dungeon Crawl free update, this tabletop-inspired roguelite RPG is expanding in ways that feel both meaningful and refreshingly unpredictable.

Available now across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC, this latest drop isn’t just about adding content. You could say that it is reshaping how you play.

A Wilder Journey Begins

At the heart of the Into the Wild DLC are two new playable classes that couldn’t feel more different.

The Beekeeper might sound whimsical, but don’t be fooled – they bring a swarm of chaos to combat, utilising their loyal companion Lil Honey to deliver both support and stinging damage. It’s a class that is unpredictable, with nature itself acting as both weapon and ally.

Then there’s the Angler, a more resource-focused adventurer who thrives on pulling treasures – and occasionally trouble – from the depths. Fishing isn’t just a gimmick here; it feeds directly into survival, item generation, and even combat utility, offering a steady flow of tools to keep your party alive.

Together, they add fresh layers to team composition, giving players new ways to approach both exploration and battle.

More Than Just Characters

The DLC doesn’t stop at classes. It expands the world with new gear, traits, and companions, all designed to slot naturally into the existing systems without overwhelming them.

A new pet, mercenary, and cosmetic options round out the package, giving players more flexibility when building their party’s identity.

The Free Update That Changes Everything

It is though, the Dungeon Crawl update that might steal the spotlight.

This new mode goes hard into roguelite design, delivering randomly generated dungeons, unpredictable encounters, and leaderboard-driven competition. A more focused experience compared to the campaign, this should reward quick thinking, smart builds, and a bit of luck.

Alongside it comes the Treasure Hunter, a new playable character introduced completely free, plus a wave of additional content including weapons, traits, enemies, and a monthly Gauntlet leaderboard challenge.

Rolling The Dice Once More

Whether you’re experimenting with new class synergies, testing your limits in Dungeon Crawl, or simply seeing how far luck can carry you, there’s a renewed sense of discovery running through every session.

For returning players, it’s an easy excuse to jump back in. For newcomers? There’s never been a better time to take that first roll.

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore.
