We missed this great news last week, and had to make sure we shared it. Suzerain is an awesome game (you can check out our review here), and it’s been a second since the DLC was announced. We now know it will arrive not only in March, but right before the end on the 25th. Take a look at the news below, and go wishlist the game on Steam now!

The pre-orders for The Kingdom of Rizia DLC, are officially open exclusively on Steam starting February 26th, 2024 one month before the release date on March 25th, 2024!

Berlin, February 26th – developer & publisher Torpor Games and indie label Fellow Traveller unveiled the highly anticipated release date for the premium DLC of the critically acclaimed political RPG, Suzerain. Save the date, the Kingdom of Rizia is set to launch on March 25th, 2024. The DLC is the first release in a long-term plan by the Berlin-based indie studio to expand the universe of Suzerain, which now boasts a massive player base of 650,000 individuals worldwide.

Starting February 26th, fans will be able to pre-order the DLC exclusively on Steam. The DLC, initially priced at $9.99, will have a discount of 10 percent for pre-orders. Additionally, everyone who pre-orders will receive a bonus collectible: the Royal Gold Bar.

Suzerain is a political RPG originally released on PC in 2020, with a Nintendo Switch version added in 2021 and iOS/Android releases in 2022. The game puts the player in the shoes of Anton Rayne, the newly elected President of the fictional country of Sordland in an alternate version of the 1950s. It has received praise for its deep and nuanced exploration of politics through a human lens that focuses on people and power.

In the Kingdom of Rizia Premium DLC, players will explore the geopolitical and internal challenges of King Romus Toras in Rizia, four years before the main game’s events. Players will navigate a complex web of political and personal relationships with the royal houses, councilors, country leaders, and others. The DLC offers a fresh narrative perspective of a monarch and expands the Suzerain universe’s lore and world map.

The Rizia Kingdom DLC is priced at $9.99 and will initially launch exclusively on Steam. Torpor Games aims to expand its availability to Switch and iOS/Android platforms in the future. Additionally, a bundled package containing both the Rizia DLC and the Rizia Original Soundtrack will be offered for purchase.
