Larkspur, Calif. (May 15, 2025) — Warhorse Studios and Deep Silver today released Kingdom Come: Deliverance II’s paid story expansion, Brushes with Death, the first of three narrative expansions for the celebrated title that has now crossed 3 million sales. The expansion, which costs $5.99 and is free for owners of the game’s Gold Edition or Expansion Pass, is launching alongside the free 1.3 update, which, alongside continued quality of life improvements and bug fixes, adds a free horse racing feature (link to those details here).
Delve into a new storyline in Brushes with Death, where Henry must help a mysterious artist uncover his enigmatic past. In a series of quests spanning both maps of the Kingdom Come: Deliverance II world, Henry must find, persuade, and sometimes eliminate a host of familiar and unfamiliar characters to help his new friend complete the most important painting of his life. Discover the answers to the many questions that surround this eclectic character. Who and what is he? How does he know so much? And why does he carry around a painted human skull?
In addition to new quests, Brushes with Death features a brand-new and unique feature to visually modify your shield, choosing from a variety of patterns and colors to reflect your personal style with Shield Painting.
Saddle up for two new in-game challenges that focus on horse racing and mounted archery in the free Horse Racing DLC as part of the 1.3 update. All new horse racing contests will see you compete against three opponents across a series of routes and difficulties designed to push your horse-handling skills to the limit. Test your observation skills, accuracy, and intuition in the archery contests that have you riding along a premade course while shooting targets from horseback.
Brushes with Death is available now for $5.99. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Gold Edition or Expansion Pass owners will automatically receive the new content. Unlock the full experience with Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Gold Edition, which includes the base game, Gallant Huntsman's Kit, and Expansion Pass (containing access to all three paid story DLCs and Shields of Season passing pack).
