Rule regally in Suzerain’s Kingdom of Rizia DLC, available now!

Suzerain is a hidden gem for anyone who loves a narrative text adventure (I thought so in our review). Ruling your country is a good time and there are plenty of ways to play, and Torpor Games has added even more with a new release. The Kingdom of Rizia is a standalone chapter in Suzerain (as in, you can start it immediately), and it’s available now! Check out the launch trailer above, and make sure to take advantage of the special pricing during this release period.

Berlin, March 25th – Developer Torpor Games and indie label Fellow Traveller proudly declare the eagerly awaited premium DLC launch for the widely celebrated political RPG, Suzerain. The Kingdom of Rizia DLC is now available This DLC marks the beginning of an ambitious expansion plan for the Suzerain universe, already embraced by an impressive global community of 700,000 players.

As of today, the Kingdom of Rizia DLC can be purchased directly on Steam and other platforms. Priced at $9.99, the DLC is available for purchase with a 10 percent launch discount until the 1st of April. Moreover, we are introducing two new bundles for a deeper experience:

• Supporter Edition: A package featuring the original Suzerain game and The Kingdom of Rizia including the soundtracks of Suzerain and Kingdom of Rizia and the Vulpitzer.
• Expanded Edition: A focused offering that pairs the core Suzerain game with The Kingdom of Rizia DLC, providing a seamless entry into the expanded universe.

Launched in 2020 for PC, and later for Nintendo Switch in 2021, and mobile platforms in 2022, Suzerain allows players to navigate the complex political landscape of Sordland in the 1950s as its President, Anton Rayne. The game is celebrated for its deep and thoughtful exploration of power and governance, focusing on the personal stories behind political decisions.

The Kingdom of Rizia expansion provides a glimpse into the events leading up to the main game, centering on King Romus Toras of Rizia as he deals with political, diplomatic, and personal dilemmas. Set four years before the events of Suzerain, this DLC enriches the game’s world and offers an in-depth look at the challenges of monarchy, adding new layers to the narrative and setting.

Now available on Steam, Humble, GOG.com, and the Epic Games Store for $9.99, the Suzerain Rizia DLC expands the Suzerain narrative. Plans are underway to bring it to Switch and mobile platforms. A special bundle, including the DLC and original soundtrack, is also available. For newcomers, the base game is discounted by 75%, making it an ideal time to join.
