With the fanatical Queensguard on every street corner and ordinary citizens turned bandit in every alley, will you risk the threat of treason and band together with fellow outlaws to bring an end to the Queen’s oppressive reign?

For The King II allows fans to kick off a single-player experience or play cooperatively online with up to 4 players.  Offering a whole host of new biomes to explore, a beautiful, updated art style, and a brand-new original soundtrack, players will be transported deep into the wonders of Fahrul, leading them further than ever before into this stunningly imagined land of adventure. From the vast number of character and item combinations to the procedurally generated maps, quests, loot, and events – The world of Fahrul is ever-changing and will constantly keep players on their toes! 

With a greater focus on strategic decision making and class, armour and weapon customisation, players will need to pick their battles carefully, arming characters with the skills and gear needed to succeed in this famously unforgiving combat system that rewards planning and foresight. 

Will you choose to fight side-by-side with your friends or split up to claim all the loot for yourself to boost your unique abilities, tactical advantages, and powerful synergies? The more you play, the more you permanently unlock items for your characters. 

The Queen’s late husband, King Bronner, may long be dead, but you must do this for your village, for your realm, For The King!
