We revisit the free field construction of the deformed $W$-algebra by Frenkel and Reshetikhin [Comm. Math. Phys.197 (1998), 1–32], where the basic $W$-current has been identified. Herein, we establish a free field construction of higher $W$-currents of the deformed $W$-algebra associated with the twisted affine Lie algebra $A_{2N}^{(2)}$. We obtain a closed set of quadratic relations and duality, which allows us to define deformed $W$-algebra ${\mathcal W}_{x,r}\big(A_{2N}^{(2)}\big)$ using generators and relations.
