Battle Brothers: Warriors of the North DLC Announced

This post on Overhype Studios’ developer blog for Battle Brothers lets us know that a new DLC for the turn-based strategy RPG is on the way. Entitled Warriors of the North, this DLC will introduce a new barbarian-styled human faction, allow you to choose your company’s origins, add new contracts, events and locations, and more. According to the post, the DLC should be ready within the next few months.

Here are some additional details:

We’re excited to announce that we’re working on another DLC for Battle Brothers. In other words, there’s going to be even more content for that game that you like. The name of the upcoming DLC is going to be ‘Warriors of the North’.

As the name suggests, the focus of the DLC will be on introducing a new human faction hailing from the north. This faction follows the old ways of raiding and sacrificing prisoners to cruel gods. They’ll bring more regional flavor to the northern parts of the map, as well as a different challenge to fighting brigands in the north at every stage of the game. This DLC will be focused on new content, and it will be smaller in scope than ‘Beasts & Exploration’. This also means that you won’t have to wait quite as long until you can play it!

Here’s the rough list of features we’re aiming for:

• A variety of new human opponents with their own fighting style and equipment, providing a fresh challenge at every stage of the game, including the late game
• Different origins to pick for your company, each with different starting characters, equipment and circumstances, as well as special rules that impact your campaign from beginning to end
• New nordic and rus inspired banners, armors and helmets
• A new legendary location
• New contracts
• New events

In addition to these major features, the DLC will also include countless smaller additions. Just like in the past, we’ll explain all major features and most minor ones in detail in future dev blogs as we go along, so you’ll always know what we’re working on and why. We expect to be finished within the next few months and will announce a release date and final feature list once we’re closer to the finish line.

Alongside the DLC, which will not be free, the game will also receive a sizable free update again. This update will contain a whole bunch of improvements, quality-of-life features and balancing changes, as well as some minor content additions.
