With Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, a special and wonderfully idiosyncratic role-playing game will be released on February 4, 2025. So special and idiosyncratic that every RPG fan should take a look.
The first Kingdom Come: Deliverance from 2018 is already known for being very idiosyncratic, cumbersome, but also special and fascinating. The successor Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, which will be released on February 4, 2025 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series, retains this uniqueness but also improves many criticisms from part 1.
Below, we highlight the special features of the role-playing game developed by Warhorse Studios and give you five reasons why every genre fan should give Heinrich’s new adventure a chance. If you have already purchased and are looking for helpful tips and tricks, check out our guide overview for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
The turbulent life of the main character Heinrich in just 40 seconds:
Reason 1: Oh, beautiful Bohemia
Even the approximately 16 square kilometers of the first part were considered to be among the best open worlds in gaming history despite the numerous bugs at launch. KCD2 builds on this with its two vast regions. Rarely have such naturally designed forests and forest floors been seen in a game. But every area of the open world feels coherent and authentically built.
For example, each property has a latrine or an improvised toilet. Fortresses, villages, mills, and such are placed in a plausible way. In the second region, Kuttenberg awaits you with the largest city in the still young RPG series, featuring a church, a winery, and more in the nearby surroundings.
The fact that you can immerse yourself so beautifully in 15th-century Bohemia is due to two reasons: 1) Thanks to the first-person perspective, you are always right in the middle. 2) The games give you the space to enjoy the dense forests and wide fields or meadows. You won’t find quest givers, events, and job opportunities at every corner.
Instead, you let your horse follow the road for a while automatically, while you gaze into the distance, enjoy the atmosphere, and look for exciting places worth temporarily breaking off the beaten path. Even these rides alone bring happiness.
On the next page, we continue with reasons 2 and 3.
