This first campaign will star the boss, Plague Knight, and will feature a number of new mechanics, re-mixed content and a brand new story.
Developers, Yacht Club Games, have discussed this new DLC, stating, “You play as Plague Knight, the villainous master of alchemy, in a quest all his own. Using his maniacal scientific mind, Plague Knight is seeking to concoct Serum Supernus, the Ultimate Potion. However, to retrieve these ingredients, he must extract them from his former allies… the villainous knights of the Order of No Quarter!”
