Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Release Date, Collector's Edition, & Gameplay Changes

Seven years after the original launched, players will finally be able to continue Henry of Skalitz, the son of a blacksmith who went on a quest for revenge after his hometown was raided and his loved ones were slain. Throughout the first game, Henry went from being a relatively unskilled underdog to ultimately joining forces with nobles such as Sir Hans Capon. By the end of the game, Henry joined Sir Hans and his squad to deliver a letter to Otto von Bergow to inquire whether he intends to continue supporting King Sigismund after his acts in the first game in an attempt to achieve peace.

picks up right where the first game left off, with Henry and Hans traveling across the Bohemian Paradise to reach Bergow at Trosky Castle, and it's been confirmed that at some point, Henry's journey will take him to Kuttenberg — or Kutná Hora as it is in Czech — with the city being faithfully recreated in its Medieval style by Warhorse Studios with the aid of historians and resources city officials. It's also been confirmed that will be almost twice the size of the original, with 80 to 100 hours of playtime in the base game alone.

The story naturally catches those who haven't played the first game through organic dialogue with Sir Hans and his men, and a dream-like sequence, making accessible to newcomers.

I was recently invited to a press event in Kuttenberg, where I had the opportunity to experience 4 hours of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 hands-on.

Sir Tobi), took to the studio's social media the week before the game's appearance at Gamescom 2024 to announce that it had been delayed until February 11, 2025. This date has some significance as it is the anniversary week of the original, which launched on February 13, 2018.

Following the Opening Night Live showcase on August 20, became available for pre-order.
