Overhype Studios has announced the third DLC for turn-based RPG Battle Brothers, ‘Blazing Deserts’. The DLC will allow players to explore a new area of the continent, leading them south through hot deserts and jungles. Blazing Deserts will also introduce a new unique culture, based loosely on a combination of medieval Arabian and Persian cultures.

Expected to be released in the second quarter of 2020, Blazing Deserts will introduce new content like equipment, contracts, legendary locations and beasts, as well as a new late-game crisis, making it the largest DLC to grace Battle Brothers.

Some key features of the DLC include:

• A realm of independent southern city-states with their own lore, equipment and services, as well as entirely new character backgrounds to recruit

• A new late game crisis that tests the mettle of your company in the fires of religious turmoil

• A gallery of company feats that grant permanent boons with which to customize your company to your playstyle as you progress throughout your campaign

• A variety of new opponents with their own fighting styles - from exotic beasts to desert raiders and southern armies quite unlike those in the north

• New environments both on the world map and in tactical combat

• Several new origins to pick for your company for a different campaign experience

• New banners, weapons, armors and helmets inspired by historic Arabian and Persian cultures of the medieval ages

• New legendary locations and legendary rewards

• New contracts and events

• New crafting recipes for owners of the ‘Beasts & Exploration’ DLC

• Several new music tracks by Breakdown Epiphanies to accompany you on your travels south

  More details about Blazing Deserts will be announced soon. For further information regarding the DLC, be sure to stay tuned to the Steam store page of Battle Brothers for dev blog posts.
