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.

What Is Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
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?
The timeline of events began in August 2024, when the studio announced that the release had been pushed back to February 11. However, this December, the release was brought forward by a week to the new date of February 4, 2025.
Big news: Kingdom Come: Deliverance II will arrive at your homes on FEBRUARY 4TH 2025!⚔️

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Trailers
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was revealed earlier in 2024 with a lengthy trailer. Reestablishing the setting and the high level of detail the team is putting into every aspect takes time.
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 are discussing 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 most 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.
Expected Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Price
If you’re on PC, the standard will likely be $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.
