We recently learned that Battle Brothers developers Overhype Studios had secured funding to begin work on a new turn-based tactics project, codenamed Menace. Last week, they teased an upcoming announcement on the Battle Brothers blog. However this was not the new game, but rather what seems likely to be Overhype's final contribution to Battle Brothers, a free DLC entitled Of Flesh and Faith. The DLC will add two elaborate new origins to the game: the Oathtakers, who sound your like typical paladin order, and the Anatomists, basically a band of corpse-dissecting mad scientists. Both come with their own unique mechanics, equipment, character backgrounds, and loads of new story events. Here's the announcement:
While we’re working on a brand new game, fans of Battle Brothers have something to be excited about right now – we’re happy to announce that Battle Brothers will receive a free DLC called ‘Of Flesh and Faith’ on March 10th, 2022.
The focus of the DLC will be on adding two new origins to Battle Brothers, and thereby two fresh and different ways to approach the game. These two origins – the Oathtakers and the Anatomists – will be the most detailed origins in the game to date. They both come with unique mechanics, new equipment, new character backgrounds, their very own story events, and even a custom-tailored banner each. And because more variety is always nice, the DLC will add more than 50 new events in total to the game!
Here’s the list of features:
Join us next week for our first dev blog on the new DLC and learn everything about the Anatomists.
As mentioned in the announcement, Of Flesh and Faith will be out very soon, on March 10th. Some Codexers will be disappointed that this isn't another full-scale expansion, but honestly it's amazing that they ended up supporting the game for as long as they did.
