Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Brushes with Death DLC release date and countdown

The long-awaited Brushes with Death DLC, teased in the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 roadmap, is almost here. With the Barber update and Hardcore mode behind us, players can dive into a mysterious new story waiting to be uncovered. Here's what you can expect from this intriguing DLC. When does KCD2 Brushes with Death DLC come out? Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Brushes with Death DLC launches on May 15. While an exact time hasn't been confirmed, past launches have debuted at 10 AM CT, so it's likely the same will happen here. Here's a countdown to the release of Brushes with Death: [hurrytimer id="1064750"] Information about the Brushes with Death DLC has been pretty vague, but the teaser has provided more clarity. When the artwork was first revealed, it hinted that the DLC would feature a "quest that tests Henry's skills like never before." You can expect a challenge similar to the grueling Hardcore mode. The trailer offers a glimpse of the quest's start, showing a man tied to a pole while conversing with a demonic skull. https://twitter.com/KingdomComeRPG/status/1920493905868738587 The man tied to the pole is the same painter we see in the DLC's cover art. He seems to be in a dire situation, where he starts arguing with a skull. Although we have yet to see why the painter has found himself in this predicament, the description suggests it's tied to his past. Henry will, of course, get caught up in this and possibly help him out of a tricky situation. Or, maybe the painter could turn out to be the antagonist. We'll just have to see which way it turns out.

The pass costs around $29.99 and provides additional content, like the Shields of Seasons Passing item set, which contains four shield designs to add more style to Henry's gear. If you didn't buy the pass, you can still purchase the DLC separately, though the pricing has yet to be revealed. Brushes with Death isn't the only DLC coming to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. By autumn, we'll see Legacy of the Forge, where Henry will restore Kuttenberg's forge and work toward becoming a master blacksmith. The adventure then ends with Mysteria Ecclesiae, leading you into the heart of the Sedletz Monastery, a place harboring the source of a deadly illness. With all three DLCs on the way, it seems like the excitement for KCD2 will never stop, and I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up as a Game of the Year contender.
