Join the Adventure: For The King II Closed Beta Now Live!
For The King II Enters Closed Beta Phase
The much-anticipated Closed Beta for For The King II has officially begun, providing players with the opportunity to explore the game alongside friends. This beta phase allows participants to delve into the first of five planned adventures, showcasing many of the features and systems that will be incorporated in the final release later this year.
The development journey for this sequel has been extensive and demanding for the small team at IronOak Games. Their goal has been to not only create a sequel but to rebuild the gameplay experience from the ground up. While the game is still in development and not yet fully polished, the team is eager to gather feedback to refine and enhance the player experience prior to the official launch.
As this is a beta version, players should anticipate encountering bugs and stability issues. The team is using this phase to assess how the game performs with a larger player base and to identify areas that require further attention.
To assist players in navigating the beta, the developers have released several player guides, which can be found on Steam. Additionally, the community can engage further via Discord for support, sharing insights, and discussing the beta experience.
The development team is working diligently to grant access to all registered players in the coming days while carefully managing the increase in player count. They appreciate the community's support throughout this journey and look forward to embarking on this next phase together.
Known Issues and Workarounds
As players participate in the Closed Beta, they may encounter certain known issues. The development team is actively addressing these challenges and has provided workarounds where possible. Some of the notable issues include potential crashes when entering dungeons with four mercenaries, transition screen hang-ups between combat and the overworld, and missing or corrupted text in various languages.
The team encourages players to report any additional issues they may encounter, as this feedback is invaluable in creating a smoother and more enjoyable gaming experience.
