Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 – Release date, trailers, gameplay & more

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to Warhorse Studios’ beloved historical RPG that continues the story of Henry of Skalitz.

The original Kingdom Come: Deliverance gave fans an immersive open-world RPG experience where they took control of a young Blacksmith’s son, Henry, as he embarks on a quest for vengeance.

Warhorse Studios revealed the sequel stylishly in April 2024, and it’s twice as big as the original.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 release date

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will be released on February 4, 2025.

It was previously set for a February 11, 2025 launch but Warhorse Studios confirmed that the date had been pushed forward by a week on X/Twitter on December 4, 2024.

Platforms

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store. You can wishlist the game on each platform now.

While the original was released on PS4, and Xbox One, there’s currently no news about whether or not the sequel will be available on the last-gen platforms. It’s unlikely though, since the devs have admitted that the Series S’s hardware proved a challenge.

Is it coming to Xbox Game Pass?

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 isn’t coming to Game Pass at launch, and we don’t have any information about it arriving in the future. The first game did arrive on Game Pass in 2019, two years after its launch, but was removed in August 2020.

Trailers

KCD2 was announced on April 18, 2024, by Warhorse Studios’ in a livestream that featured the first full trailer.

It gave fans a look at protagonist Henry, the late Middle Ages setting, and brief glimpses of the game’s FPS melee combat:

A second trailer followed at Summer Game Fest 2024 on June 7, 2024, that provided more looks at gameplay, and the setting of 15th Century Bohemia.

This trailer also had a lot more humor throughout, so there should be plenty of light moments between the intense action and the narrative of the sequel:

At Gamescom Opening Night Live another teaser premiered that gave fans more insight into the authentic first-person combat.

The teaser was then followed by a full 25-minute gameplay showcase on August 21, 2024, that Warhorse Studios shared on their YouTube channel:

On December 5, 2024, a new story trailer was shared giving fans another look at the game’s narrative:

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 gameplay

Like the first game, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a first-person action RPG set in an open world. Throughout it, you can customize Henry’s appearance, skills, and equipment as you travel the land and engage in activities like blacksmithing and alchemy.

It will feature two maps, each around the size of the game’s first map. The first area you’ll visit is the countryside surrounding Trosky castle, and then you’ll visit the enormous Kuttenberg map later in the game.

In a blog, the devs shared more details about how players will be able to shape and evolve Henry, with a big emphasis on the skills you decide to learn, the discoveries you make, and how you interact with the world.

Discussing the RPG mechanics, the post states that: “Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a proudly traditional RPG that’s driven, first and foremost, by its underlying systems, rather than heavily scripted encounters.

In other words, this is a world that remembers your actions and the choices you make and pushes back against you accordingly. Each inhabitant of this sprawling world is a real character, with their own motivations, emotions and experiences of 15th-century life. Present yourself to them bloodied and bruised from battle and they’ll judge you accordingly. Choose to kill an ally of theirs and they’ll shun you.”

Combat will play a big part and be a visceral experience as you can either attack enemies on foot, on horseback or take a stealthy approach. A variety of weapons and combat styles will be available to experiment with from blunt melee options to ranged weapons including the hand-canon, a primitive gunpowder weapon.

There will also be an emphasis on player choice with Henry’s actions impacting his destiny and how the world reacts to him.
