This one came a bit out of the blue for a few people it seems, but Kingdom Come: Deliverance II was unveiled earlier today, and with a 2024 release date no less!
The sequel to the critically acclaimed RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance is aimed to be accessible to both new and veteran players alike, with the game taking place right after the original game.
You can watch the reveal trailer for Kingdom Come: Deliverance II right here:
In Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, you'll be heading back into the heart-pounding world of 15th Century Bohemia (Central Europe), you'll be placed into the shoes of Henry, the steadfast son of a blacksmith embroiled in a tumultuous tale of vengeance, betrayal, and self-discovery.
You'll be greeted by a meticulously crafted medieval landscape, from the humble confines of a blacksmith's forge to the grandeur of royal courts, all while navigating the treacherous currents of a kingdom torn apart by civil war.
Across two new maps - which are double the size of the previous game - you can explore the beautiful and diverse Bohemian Paradise (a real-world location you can still visit in the Czech Republic) from the majestic Trosky Castle to more urban environments such as the silver mining town of Kuttenberg (a Unesco World Heritage site).
The game will feature over five hours of immersive cutscenes that narrate Henry's journey, adding to the unfolding drama at every turn.
The combat system has also been revamped to make it more accessible while staying true to its nature as a depiction of real medieval martial arts. From elegant swordplay to deadly ranged attacks, such as the newly added crossbows or early gunpowder weapons, you'll be able to fight like a true medieval knight.
How you decide to proceed in this lively and unique world is up to you!
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is due to be released on Steam later in 2024. There's no word on system requirements yet, although we imagine this may well be a tough one to run, so the Steam Deck might be outmatched here.
