Hello everyone!
It's Nikita from 1917 Studios and I am happy to finally announce Heads Will Roll: Reforged's fifth DLC — Revenge of the Black Prince. This DLC is going to be the biggest one we have ever released and will include six new story branches as well as introduce an expanded version of Cambrai. As always the DLC will be accompanied by a free update that will add a very long list of new features, items, and mechanics, reshape the balance and generally bring all kinds of technical and gameplay improvements. The DLC is scheduled to be released on September 11th, 10am PDT.

Escape Cambrai together with Bartholomew and Jeanne, make your way to Paris, and try to hustle hard enough to make it big in the medieval metropolis.

Enter the service of the extravagant and talented Count Amadeus VI of Savoy, prove your worth, and join his crusade to the Balkans to aid the dying Byzantine Empire to fight off the Ottoman hordes.
*More Grace and Glory adventures
Continue the story of Grace and Glory and help them first uncover the identity, and then settle the score with the mysterious client who put a bounty on their heads.
*Arnaud de Cervole's campaign
Serve the French crown as a mercenary under Arnaud de Cervole — a deceitful and cutthroat yet somewhat honorable brigand who is willing to take on the most dangerous tasks.
*Cambrai Expanded
Experience the fresh version of Cambrai — with new quests, characters, battles, and branching paths.
Full descriptions and expanded previews are available on the DLC Steam page.

As always together with the DLC there will be a massive free update that will, among other things, include:
