'Knights of Pen and Paper 2' gets new expansion DLC

Knights of Pen and Paper 2 - Here Be Dragons Paradox Interactive

"Knights of Pen and Paper 2," a turn-based RPG that is both a parody and a celebration of tabletop gaming, will be receiving new expansion DLC in early 2016. The expansion is called "Here Be Dragons" and is expected to release sometime in early 2016.

According to the official post from publisher Paradox Interactive, the expansion will include a brand new quest that, as the name suggests, will involve dragon slaying. Just like the main game, it will include many referrences to tabletop games and video game culture, with numerous inside jokes.

The expansion will also bring in new locations although developer Kyy Games and Paradox Interactive have yet to reveal what these places are and where they will be located in the map of Paperos. It is likely it will still be set somewhat close to the main location seen in the game.

According to the post, the expansion will also bring in one new class and one new player race. The new class will be the Knight, finally making it possible for gamers to truly play as "Knights of Pen and Paper." It is hinted that this class will involve powerful physical attacks with a possibility of some minor healing powers.

The new race is known as the Bookworm. The race is described as a female player who conducts "obsessive in-game research" and is likely going to have high Mind stats. However, there are no confirmations at this point regarding the Bookworm's final stat build.

A Beastiary will finally be added to the game as well. This Beastiary will serve as a collection and gallery of all the monsters in the game. Players will be able to look up the monsters to learn their stats, appearances, skills and where they might be located in the world of Paperos.

No official release date has yet been announced but the "Here Be Dragons" expansion will release for the version of the game on all platforms. "Knights of Pen and Paper 2" is available for iOS, Android, PC, Linux, and Mac.
