Price drop, fixes and free DLC!

<span class="bold">Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms</span>, a heavy hack'n'slash action RPG with a two-sided twist, just received a price-drop, free DLC for everyone who owns the game, and a few tweaks and updates! To make the deal sweeter, the game is also 50% off for the next week!

Take control of the Devourer, a demon that swallows the souls of the dead and brings them back into the mortal realm as puppets. But is the demon their master – or their servant? Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms is the first part of a sequel to the classic Kult: Heretic Kingdoms (also known as Heretic Kingdoms: Inquisition), it's a tale of a world and its shadows - both of which you will walk with grace to overcome anything in your path, but beware that each world presents it's own dangers and challenges.

On top of the permanent price-drop, the game is now updated with plenty of tweaks and bug fixes and a French language version. For even more gameplay, originally-exclusive DLC is now free for everyone! The DLC includes three new quests: Tholean Tablet, The Owl Amulet and The Scorpion King.


If you're eagerly awaiting Book 2 of the story, the devs are preparing an impressive technological update to the game which will allow them to execute every bit of new content and gameplay planned into the sequel, no cutting corners. They should have more news on the update and progress on Book 2 production later in the year.


<span class="bold">Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms</span> is now available better and cheaper than ever, DRM-free on GOG.com. The promo will last one week, until Friday, September 4, 10:59 AM GMT.

I don't see the option to download the new DLC. Is it just included in the new installer, or is the patch and DLC not made available yet on the download page?

It's all in the installer :)

Ah, now it makes more sense. I was looking at the 19.99 EUR price tag three hours ago, wondering what was so great about it, but 9.99 EUR is a somewhat attractive offer. I'm not quite sure whether I've understood though - this is only Book One of a half-finished two book project, right? Will Book Two be a separate release or will it be included in this one, making it kind of a Season Pass?

AFAIK, it will be a free update to the game kind of like how it's done with the Telltale games when they get a new episode added here :)

I hope you're right, because that would make all the difference in whether I think this is a good offer or not. ;)

Also, is it recommended to play Heretic Kindoms: The Inquisition before this one? I already own it, on disc and on GOG, but the disc version doesn't work on Win 8 and last I tried the GOG version it didn't work that well either (something about dialogue lines being cut off or something? Need to check again, once I find the time) ...

I think it should be a free update when finished. Gog states on the front page ..." Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms comes in two parts. The first one, Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms Book I: Devourer of Souls, is available right now. The second one, Book II: Age of Demons, is coming soon as a free update." Good news all round :)

Edit - Ninja'd.

If you wait a bit, we've received an update from GamesFarm for the original Heretic Kingdoms that should work for you :)

HypersomniacLive: Nice update, but unfortunately, it's still regionally priced.

Pajama: Doesn't seem to be for me although it was earlier - it was regionally priced at £22.99 ($35.59). Now it is priced at £6.49 ($9.99) with no store credit and says I save 50%! I have no idea how GOG works sometimes....
Interesting. Here it is $11.39.

Ah, ok, then it's official, and GOG can be held accountable for it. ;)

Cool, thanks! Sounds like this promo is worthy of my support then. :)

Does "wait a bit" mean "within 24 hours-ish" or the indeterminate "Soon"? Because the original HK hates both of the graphics cards in my laptop, and my husband's commandeered the desktop for Xenonauts. Hoping the update will fix that.

I am not sure we'll get it out today but I am hoping we can have it out by Monday or Tuesday at the latest but I am not 100% sure on that as of right now :)

It's $22.79 (full price), and, as moonshineshadow said, $11.39 with the 50% discount which gives a $1.40 store credit.

I was interested in this game when it came out but had forgotten all about it and had no idea of the legal issues the devs were contending with. The game looks great, and while I had no intention of buying any more games this week, I got this one to support a developer who clearly cares about making their product as good as it can be. Hope to dig into it soon.

I realize it's getting late in the workday on Friday in Warsaw. Thanks for letting us know something's on the way for the first HK, though.
