Get ready to return to the medieval world of Bohemia.
The sequel to Kingdom Come: Deliverance (2018), KCD2 is scheduled to release for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 11 February 2025.
A Tale of Revenge and Redemption
Set in 15th-century Europe, the game immerses players in a rich, open-world experience. As Henry, you'll seek vengeance for your murdered parents, embarking on a perilous quest filled with adventure and challenges.
Intense, Real-Time Combat
Feel the adrenaline rush as you engage in heart-pounding combat. Whether you're a skilled swordsman, a brutal warrior, or a deadly archer, your choice of weapon is key to victory. On foot, horse or by stealth, you can specialize in elegant sword mastery, brutal blunt weapons, or deadly ranged attack.
Decisions Have Consequences
The game will continue to emphasize the importance of player made decisions. Your actions will have a lasting impact on the world around you, and there will be real-world consequences for your choices. However, the developers have also made improvements to the save system to prevent players from feeling overly punished for mistakes.
A Focus on Realism
One of the standout features of the Kingdom Come series is its commitment to historical accuracy. This continues in the sequel, with everything from NPC behavior to the consequences of your actions reflecting the realities of medieval life.
Kingdom Come 2 to Boast More Dialogue Than Baldur's Gate 3
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is set to shatter the record for the video game with the longest script. The game's script currently totals a staggering 2.2 million words, surpassing Baldur's Gate 3's 2 million words. This suggests an incredibly immersive experience packed with player choice and interaction.
According to Daniel Vávra, co-founder and creative director of Warhorse Studios, the game's script totals 2.2 million words, or approximately 11,000 standard screenwriting pages. This would make it equivalent to around 100 two-hour movies or 25 average novels.
The massive amount of dialogue in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is indicative of the game's emphasis on player choice and interaction. Players can expect to have numerous conversations with NPCs, making decisions that will shape the course of their adventure.
A Bigger World to Explore
Discover the beauty and brutality of medieval Europe as you explore bustling cities, lush forests, and treacherous wilderness. Engage in thrilling battles, forge alliances, and witness the consequences of your actions on the world around you.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II will feature two new maps: the Trosky area and Kuttenberg. These expansive regions, each with their own unique characteristics, offer players a vast world to explore. With hundreds of NPCs and twice the land area of the first game, there's plenty to discover.
Enhanced Gameplay Mechanics
While maintaining the core gameplay of the original, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II aims to improve upon certain aspects. Combat will be more accessible, with a lower skill floor and more rewards for aggressive play. The game will also introduce new features like crafting swords and crossbows.
Performance and Technical Aspects
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is being developed using a modified version of the CryEngine, ensuring stunning visuals and a realistic world. While the game is expected to run smoothly on most PCs, console players may face some performance challenges, especially when aiming for high frame rates.
