Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: Overview
Before going deeper, watch these Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 trailers revealed to get a brief of this action RPG title.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a historical open-world single-player RPG, which brings players back to the medieval era of 15th-century Bohemia.
Much like other RPGs, the game lets players freely explore its world, resolve quests in different ways, make important choices, as well as unlock useful skills. That said, what truly makes the game different is its combat mechanics, which accurately depict medieval fighting techniques and armor and weapons interactions.
What's more, the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 map will be twice the size of its predecessor, primarily focusing on Kuttenberg, a Bohemian city. Besides, players can explore smaller villages and towns, while enjoying immersive Bohemian landscapes throughout the game.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: Story
Inspired by real historical events in the year 1403, the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 story revolves around the repercussions of King Wenceslas IV of Bohemia's abduction by his half-brother, Sigismund, ultimately resulting in his dethronement.
The 2018 game begins with Skalitz village, home to Henry, the blacksmith's son, coming under attack by Cuman mercenaries led by Sir Markvart von Aulitz, a loyalist to Sigismund. Their goal is to find and eliminate Sir Radzig Kobyla, a supporter of Wenceslas IV. The attack caused the deaths of Henry's parents and friends, compelling him to enlist in Radzig's cause and seek vengeance.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 story is predicted to continue the first game's narratives, with Radzig and his companions uniting to oppose Sigismund's troops as Henry remains determined to seek vengeance against Markvart. Another character making a comeback is Hans Capon, a nobleman with whom Henry developed a strong friendship during the main storyline of KCD.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: Release Date
Question: When is Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 coming out?
Answer: In 2024, meaning the wait for embarking on Henry's adventures won't be too long.
Nevertheless, an exact release date has not yet been confirmed. Should Warhorse provide further information, we will promptly update this article with the latest details. So, keep updated with KingdomCome: Deliverance 2 news on Gurugamer.com.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: Platforms
The Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 trailers have confirmed the game's release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Nevertheless, we are uncertain about its availability on Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Stores.
Is Playing KCD Necessary Before Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 picks up Henry's tale from the first game, yet diving into KCD isn't a prerequisite to following the sequel's narrative. Warhorse stressed that the game is crafted to welcome both returning and new players into the storyline seamlessly.
However, we highly recommend giving Kingdom Come: Deliverance a try when you have some free time. It is a lavish, stunning RPG filled with historically accurate details everywhere you turn, and once you overcome its idiosyncrasies, Henry moves at a slow pace in sword fighting like a real person until you practice, but you will thoroughly enjoy it. It is among the top open-world games we have experienced and ranks as one of the top PC and Xbox games overall.
KCD can be purchased for $30 on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series and multiple PC platforms. The Royal Edition, which is pricier, comes with all the DLC expansions for the game. It's important to note that this is the exclusive version of KCD available on Nintendo Switch.
