As promised, the free Of Flesh and Faith DLC for Battle Brothers was released yesterday. Over the three weeks following its announcement, Overhype had time to publish a couple of development updates detailing the two origins added by the DLC, the Anatomists and the Oathtakers. The new origins also feature in a short comic that they produced to promote it. There's no launch trailer though, so I'll just post its store page description:

The free 'Of Flesh and Faith' DLC is a love letter to the fans of Battle Brothers after a journey of almost six years together. It expands the game with two new starting scenarios to pick for your mercenary company - the Oathtakers and the Anatomists - that shape your campaign from beginning to end. These origins come with unique mechanics, new equipment, new character backgrounds, their very own story events, and even a custom-tailored banner each. Experience a total of more than 50 new events in the game!

Features

• Oathtakers - Follow the teachings of Young Anselm, fight for righteousness, and swear oaths that confer advantages and disadvantages until fulfilled.
  
• Anatomists - Further your research even if they shun you for it, dissect the corpses of your fallen enemies, and devise new ways to empower your men.
  
• New Banners - Hoist two new banners that thematically fit the new origins.
  
• New Equipment - Dress in style with new equipment that befits your origin.
  
• New Events - Experience more than 50 new events on your travels.

Of Flesh and Faith is available free for owners of Battle Brothers on Steam and GOG. Patch notes for the accompanying version 1.5 update are available here. Onward to new adventures!

This will be the final DLC they release, I suppose. Not bad for a free update. However, I can't honestly say that I am looking forward to the next game they're making because I wish they'd keep working on this one, or making a sequel to this one, since it's the only game of its' type with a kind of fantasy that I actually enjoy. Ah, well.

 

[Glad]

Yeah unfortunately their next game is sci-fi or smth.

well battle brothers in space would be great imo

 

[Bohrain]

I will buy it as soon as someone mods it to have only cute girls.

I feel you but I am more into legs.

The game is also heavily discounted on steam, down to 10 $ for the main game, with normal discounts on the DLCs as well.

Buy it.

It's a great game, probably the best tactics-rpg out there. I guess I'll have to sink another 100 hours into it to play through both of the new origins.

This is the last DLC? Damn, I thought we were getting close to the Wizards & Clerics (working title) expansion

men in dresses are gay. good thing we kill them on sight.

Don't worry, when the next game bombs, they'll come back to this one.
