Summary:

The Steam trial offers temporary access to For The King II, while the base game is 70% off at $7.49. This guide separates both offers from the free adventure update and paid Dust to Dust pack.

For The King II is temporarily free to play on Steam until November 12, 2026 at noon CST (18:00 UTC). This is a limited trial, not a free-to-keep giveaway. The Windows base game is also $7.49 on the US store, 70% off its usual $24.99, at the November 11 check.

Two offers with different deadlines

  • Free play: ends November 12 at noon CST. Access does not become permanent just because you install during the promotion.
  • Base-game purchase: $7.49 USD before applicable checkout tax, with a displayed sale end date of November 23. The sale’s exact cutoff time is not shown.
  • Where: For The King II on Steam. A Steam account and compatible PC are required.

A useful chance to assemble a party

IronOak Games’ sequel blends turn-based combat with a tabletop-style journey through Fahrul. Its four-player co-op allows a larger group than the original game. Procedurally generated maps, encounters and loot change how a run develops, so agreeing on a route and managing risk are part of the appeal.

That makes the trial a practical way to see whether your group likes the pacing before everyone buys. You can also play alone, controlling the party yourself. Steam lists both online and local co-op.

The free update is separate from the paid character pack

The November 9 developer announcement pairs the promotion with A Mother Below, an adventure included in the latest game update. That means free additional content for the game, not permanent free ownership of the base game.

The simultaneously released Dust to Dust Character Pack is a separate paid add-on. It introduces the Gravedigger and Pugilist alongside additional companions, cosmetics and gear. Do not assume those extras come with the $7.49 standalone purchase; compare the contents before selecting a larger bundle.

Check your PC and edition

Steam lists Windows 10 64-bit, 8 GB RAM and 7 GB storage among the minimum requirements. Its English-language review summary was Mostly Positive at this check, with 79% of 5,478 reviews positive.

This is the sequel. If you want the earlier adventure, our original For The King deal guide covers that separate game.
