Knights of Pen & Paper 2 Announced
STOCKHOLM — March 2, in the year of our Lord 2015
— Paradox Interactive, a publisher and developer with plenty of
initiative, today announced the forthcoming release of Knights
of Pen & Paper 2, coming to PC, iOS, and Android devices.
Knights of Pen & Paper 2, the appropriately named sequel to
Knights of Pen & Paper +1 Edition, will bring players back to
the table, where they can sit and simulate another, different
table inside the game (which is about a game). Danger, intrigue,
death, role-playing, and roll-playing will return when Knights
of Pen & Paper 2 arrives on May 14th.
Return to the dicey world of Knights of Pen & Paper for a new
turn-based adventure, where players get to take on the role of
players, and also of the game’s encounter-designing,
rules-laywering GM in a fully customizable party. Assemble a
group of virtual friends, dress them in class-specific hats, and
take on an all-new series of quests, including dynamic dungeons,
an improved combat system, new loot and crafting mechanics, and
more, as the party faces its greatest challenge yet: the new
edition of the ruleset.
Knights of Pen & Paper 2 rolls with the following features:
• +2 to Impress: The retro adventure makes the leap from
simulated 8-bit graphics to simulated 16-bit graphics, providing
players with twice the bits
• New Racial Feats: Customize your party members by choosing
players such as the Goth or the Rocker, classes such as Wizard
or Thief, and for the first time, races such as Dwarves and
Elves
• A Game of Throws: Face the whims of the d20 in an overhauled
combat system, new crafting and loot, dynamically generated
dungeons, and a variety of nail-biting saving throws
• Entirely Too Many Gaming and Pop Culture Jokes: Seriously
“When you allow people at your company to dress up in wizard
robes and suits of armor, sometimes you wind up with games like
Knights of Pen & Paper 2,” said Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox
Interactive. “We’re going to be showing off the game in person
this week at GDC. I wanted to reveal it during the DICE
conference, but nobody agreed with me.”
