Warhorse Studios’ Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is a massive open-world RPG filled with unforgettable quests, set-pieces, and NPCs. The title was already packed with hours of content at launch. However, a post-release DLC was always part of the plan, and players can finally immerse themselves in it sooner rather than later. In a recent post on X, the developers confirmed that the Brushes with Death DLC will go live on May 15, 2025.
The medieval RPG was first released on February 4, 2025, and has been praised for its main campaign and narrative ever since. The developers did an excellent job crafting a rich story within a vast, expansive world, so much so that some have claimed Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 might have the potential to win Game of the Year at the 2025 Game Awards.
Furthermore, the Brushes with Death DLC aims to build on the game’s already excellent reputation. So, if you haven’t tried Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 yet, now might be the perfect time, especially with the game currently available at a 15% discount on Steam.
What To Expect From Kingdom Come Deliverance 2’s Brushes With Death DLC?
So far, the studio has kept its cards close to its chest, and not much information is available regarding the upcoming DLC. However, some reports hint at the nature of the new quests and NPCs, offering a glimpse of what to expect.
The new Brushes with Death storyline is shaping up to be a chaotically fun experience that could attract even more players to the game. A mysterious new character named Master Voyta takes center stage in the DLC. He is an ambitious painter determined to create a masterpiece and earn recognition as one of the greatest artists of his time.
Naturally, players will be tasked with helping him achieve this goal and, true to Kingdom Come Deliverance fashion, this will likely lead to a series of interconnected quests.
Shield Painting Will Be a New Addition to the Game
The enigmatic painter will also introduce a new mechanic called Shield Painting. This feature will allow players to customize their shields by combining colors, patterns, symbols, and borders. However, not all symbols will be available from the start; players will need to unlock them by progressing through the quest and exploring the world.
If players have already visited the required locations and completed the relevant quests, the symbols will be unlocked automatically once the DLC is downloaded. Fortunately, Warhorse Studios has confirmed that players will be able to start the DLC from any point in the game—a great move that makes the content more accessible to both newcomers and returning players.
Update 1.3 Will Introduce More Mechanics
Update 1.3 will also reportedly introduce Mounted Archery and Horse Racing minigames, alongside several gameplay balance tweaks. Additionally, it will include a new side quest that serves as a tutorial for the new mechanics. Finally, this free update will also buff enemies in key areas, such as Kuttenberg, resulting in more challenging combat.
