The documentation on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 delights fans with exclusive insights into the development of the game and the work of Warhorse Studios. However, there is one thing they must come to terms with.
What kind of documentary is this? Our colleagues from GameStar released a documentary on June 17, 2025, about the development and release of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, which offers a behind-the-scenes look at Warhorse Studios.
The documentary talks about the initial planning phase, the creation of the world and the characters, but also other aspects like initial difficulties and challenges that the team had to overcome. For this, they speak directly with the founders of the studio, Daniel Vávra and Martin Klíma, as well as with other developers responsible for the game and its success.

What do the developers say about the future of the game? In the comment section under the YouTube video, the enthusiastic reception of the documentary by players and fans of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is evident.
Although the documentary is convincing and the insights and reports from the team bring a lot of joy, some of these statements also bring disappointment. Because the potential plans for the future of the studio and Kingdom Come do not sound quite like what many had hoped for.
In a Reddit post referring to the documentary, Death_Platypus has summarized the statements from the team, hinting at the future of the studio and the game:
“There is life after KCD2. The plans of the studio are… of course it depends on success and everything. We want to continue to grow. It would be a shame if the team were to disperse, so we need to give them a cool new project that is even cooler than the previous one. Otherwise, they will go for cool projects elsewhere.” – Tobias Stolz-Zwilling, Communications Director
“I don’t like this modern obsession – ‘Let’s make a prequel, remastered, or a reboot about the character who stood in the background in the first scene of the first game and tell his story.’ I kind of hate it. It’s a historical game that tells us about events from history, so there is definitely the possibility of making a game about another event, either with new or old characters.” – Daniel Vávra, Founder and Creative Director
“Narratively, I think it was designed as a trilogy. I believe I’m right when I say that KCD2 is so huge that it has kind of swallowed the second two parts of this trilogy into KCD2.” – Tom McKay, actor of Heinrich

How do the fans react to these prospects? The team’s statement, despite not providing a direct confirmation or denial of another installment, seems to evoke various reactions from the community with a bittersweet aftertaste:
- party_tortoise: “I find this comment from Vávra funny. No one is asking for a KCD prequel, remake or reboot, Dan. We want a SEQUEL or at least a final DLC, interestingly the only thing he skipped, lol.”
- General-LeeAnxious: “I think your next game will not necessarily have anything to do with KCD, but it will definitely be another historically based, profound game. Aside from that, I will damn miss Heinrich and Hans 🙁 I really hope Warhorse picks up the rescue of Wenzel someday in the future.”
- euhydral: “I wouldn’t mind if Warhorse decided to develop a new IP for their next project. Different projects are what keeps your talent in-house, as Tobi said, and what will lead Warhorse to continue to grow in the industry and become a stronger and bigger studio. That said, I hope we get KCD3 one day.”
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is already seen by many players as a worthy candidate for the title “Game of the Year 2025”. However, not only the fans of the game but also a contributor are sure of this. Because after a major competitor was delayed, KCD2 has a good chance of achieving just that: As GTA 6 is postponed to 2026, there can only be one Game of the Year 2025 – believes an actor from Kingdom Come 2
