Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 First Story DLC Release Date Revealed

The Brushes With Death DLC for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 begins when Henry encounters a mysterious painter, tied up to a post, and seemingly speaking to a skull. There is obviously a secret here, and the painter has a past that players will uncover as they embark on this DLC quest. Not much else is known about the DLC, but players do not have long to wait before it becomes available and they discover its secrets.

This update is planned to launch with the next patch for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Not only will players be able to experience this new DLC content, but they can likely expect balancing and bug fixes to accompany it.

Brushes With The Death is the first paid DLC for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. The next two DLCs, Legacy of the Forge and Mysteria Ecclesiae are planned to launch in the Fall and Winter of 2025 respectively. These will further expand on the content available for the game and offer both the player and Henry new adventures.
