Frequently Asked Questions

[Foenix_CG]

We have received a lot of wonderful questions, and we've gathered them all here with the answers you seek!🫡

Will there be multiplayer/couch co-op?

FTK II supports offline co-op on the same PC as well as online multiplayer. Offline co-op works with multiple controllers; but each controller will have input control on everyone’s turn.

Co-op controls will continue to be updated as we finalize controller support for the console release of For The King II. When we launch on console, controllers will have dedicated control of their playable character.

Is there controller support?

FTK II will launch with full controller support and Steam Deck compatibility. The game will launch with multi-controller-supported offline co-op. Offline co-op works with multiple controllers; but each controller will have input control on everyone’s turn.

Co-op controls will continue to be updated as we finalize controller support for the console release of For The King II. When we launch on console, controllers will have dedicated control of their playable character.

What modes are available in the game?

For The King II is already three times as large as For The King was when we launched out of Early Access and will launch with 5 adventures that link narratively to form the 30-hour + campaign. We will be revealing soon, a post-launch content roadmap including our plans for an endless dungeon mode that we intend to release as part of a future free content update.

Can we mod in For the King II?

We are huge modding fans and hope to see mods supported within FTK II in the future.

What customising options are available?

There are several customisation options, both cosmetic and functional, allowing you to personalise your characters and party to suit your playstyle.

What classes are in FTKII?

There are 12 playable character classes at launch—many returning classes, such as the Blacksmith, Hunter, and Scholar. Closer to launch, we will be sharing our content roadmap. This roadmap will include characters of the musical variety added as part of free updates.

Are the FTK ragdoll mechanics in FTKII?

Absolutely. The ragdoll mechanics have evolved. You can continue to develop them over the game's lifecycle, so expect more to come as the game grows!

Will the guns and ammo make a return?

There are already some guns/blunderbusses in the game. We will make future announcements about other characters and content coming to the game after launch.

What’s the replayability of FTK II?

FTK II is designed to be replayable. We have split the main campaign into 5 adventures. Each is designed to be replayed so that players explore and discover all the secrets they hold. As with For The King, building up Lore points and unlocking new items and loadout items for your playthrough are essential to player progression.

We have plans to include an endless/infinite mode in a free DLC after launch, but, For The King 2 will also be launching with approximately 3x the content FTK1 had at launch, so you won't be short of things to do until then!

I really missed a fast change of equipment kits in FTK 1
It was a really big problem for me...
I hope developers implemented at least 5-10 fast slots for quick change equipment sets (for battle, for movement etc.)

Hey everyone, its not a Gamebreaker but will there be some accessibility settings. For example a color blind mode?

[★ Danceman ★]

In the hex grid mode, when you attack from a flank or from behind do you get any advantage? Does terrain on the hex grid mode give you buffs or debuffs?

Thanks for the question, it is an important one!
We will have more info on accessibility features coming in a future patch.

Sorry for the last question, but when the game launches on console, will there be crossplay/crossprogression?

We're currently not too sure about crossplay/cross-progression, but it's definitely something we're discussing internally and would love to make a reality at the console launch.

It would be good if FTK II summerized the Lore of FTK I before starting.
I want to remember the Lore of FTK 1, but its not like I can replay the entire game again.
Either way, I'll search Youtube videos.

No spoilers—but we'll have something in For The King 2 to catch you up on the story of the FTK series so far :)

If you're answering all sorts of questions: Any fun details about development or super tiny features that wouldn't necessarily make it into a lore video or announcement?

There's a new feature in certain dungeons in FTK2 where you'll be able to use an item to unlock a different path mid-dungeon for extra loot or secrets.
There's one in the first campaign and I'm very sure the community will love it.

But I won't spoil any more than that! Hope that counts towards a fun detail :D

Will the game be on XBOX Game Pass?

We're just focusing on PC at launch.

[Apathetic]

If you are in a group of 3 can you remove the 4th character and just have 3 classes or have the 4th controlled by ai or does 1 person HAVE to control 2 characters
