Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 might look like your typical fantasy RPG on the surface, but it is anything but. Instead of controlling the hero in a world filled with dragons, monsters, and magic, you’re a simple peasant in the very grounded setting of 15th-century Bohemia.
While there are no fantastic monsters, you will find this world incredibly perilous. Kingdom Come: Deliverance wants to make you feel the real struggles of surviving during this time period, where even eating too much or too little has consequences.
The sequel has been announced, as well as the return of the main character Henry for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Let’s sip on some Saviour Schnapps and dive into everything we know about Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
What is Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
Hardcore RPG in Medieval Bohemia
Just like the first game, Warhorse Studios’ Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will be a hardcore RPG with survival elements. You can explore the open world as you wish, taking on side quests and causing trouble, but know that every action does have a consequence.
#KCDII will feature a new unique crime and judgement system closer to history than the prison times you know from the first game.
As Henry, will you:
– Obey the laws,
– Endure punishments,
– Hide forever to avoid them?— Warhorse Studios (@WarhorseStudios) June 13, 2024
Without spoiling the events from the first game, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will put you back in the boots of Henry, seeking revenge and trying to rise above his lowly status in the world.
Played from a first-person perspective, exploration, and narrative is a strong focus. That said, you will need to learn to master the unique combat systems.
Swordplay is deliberately brutal and accurate to the times. Fights can end in a single slash of the sword, so patience, blocking, and positioning are key.
When is Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Coming Out?
Release Date: February 11, 2025
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s release date is February 11, 2025 — sadly our dreams of playing in 2024 were dashed.
Warhorse Studios announced the date with a tweet via public relations manager Tobias Stolz-Zwilling on August 15, 2024:
We were this close ??, but simply decided that we need a tiny bit more time. But we have soooo many exciting things prepared for you. Can't wait to show you all the great stuff around #gamescom2024.

What Consoles/Platforms will Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 be Available for?
Available on all Current Platforms
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. No last-gen ports will be available.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Trailers
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was revealed earlier in 2024 with a lengthy trailer. It takes its time to reestablish the setting and the high level of detail the team is putting into every aspect of it.
Henry is shown again, as expected, along with plenty of other new and returning characters.
There’s a bit of combat, although without the HUD. This at least shows off some new weapons we can look forward to wielding, including firearms for the first time.
Swords are balanced and refined weapons, but medieval combat is gruesome and gritty.

The majority of the trailer, however, isn’t gameplay or cinematics but members of the development team going in-depth on what they are working on and why Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is such an ambitious project.
Why Fans Are Excited
Kingdom Come: Deliverance found a very passionate community who fell in love with the harsh and grounded style of this RPG. While some people may bounce off a game so punishing, anyone who pushes through and overcomes it will have an immense feeling of satisfaction.
Because there are just so few games willing to go to such lengths to be as realistic as this, we’ve been forced to wait for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 to get that feeling again.
There’s the obvious excitement any squeal has of reuniting with our main character and (hopefully) concluding their story, but the majority of the hype is centered around everything else.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will have a map twice as large as the original, including the city of Kuttenberg, which was talked about but never seen in the original.
Filling that map will be tons of towns, NPCs, loot, and quests. Because of how many systems are at work in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, players doing the same quest can have wildly different experiences depending on what they choose to do, say, or even events out of their control.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Price
Expected Price: $70
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 doesn’t have an official price, but being a current-gen exclusive almost guarantees it will be $70 on console.
If you’re on PC, the standard is still $60.
There will likely be some bonus editions for more that include extra content or physical goodies as well.
The Bottom Line
If you love yourself a deep RPG but find the likes of Starfield and Skyrim a bit too easy, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 takes the best elements of those games and turns the difficulty up to 11.
The world is beautiful and filled with places to explore and people to meet. Sure, you will die a ton, but that’s part of the experience.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a game all about carving your own path through a world out to get you. If you have the skill and patience to appreciate how it wants you to play, there’s no other game that can deliver in quite the same way.
