The documentary provides insights into the development
What does the film say? Daniel Vávra and Martin Klíma are the founders of Warhorse Studios and share in the documentary about the beginnings of their great medieval role-playing game. They were keen to depict a scenario that is as authentic and realistic as possible.
Initially, there were difficulties in finding investors. Particularly the first part experienced a lot of rejection, as the underlying philosophy of Warhorse Studios sounded little promising.
After all, historical accuracy was a priority for the first part, and that seems to be just as important for the fans. “People can smell bullshit,” say the developers, explaining why they were so eager to depict every little detail historically correctly. However, it was important to them that players should not only admire the world but also immerse themselves completely in it.
The new documentary ultimately shows how medieval Bohemia was created in practice. Fans gain insights into the planning and creation of the game world and characters. Other aspects such as music and recordings with the actors are also highlighted. It is revealed that Heinrich actor Tom McKay was not the first choice for the role.
How does the documentary end? At the end of every game development comes the release. An exciting moment that is also captured in the documentary. It shows how the first reactions to Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 arrive and how the team ultimately experiences the launch.
The effort and perseverance have paid off in the end. The role-playing game enjoys great popularity and when looking at the work behind the scenes, it becomes clear why Warhorse Studios was able to celebrate this success. The developers are ambitious and pursue a clear vision that sets their game apart from others.
If you got excited about Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 again after the documentary, there is good news. The game still has some highlights in store for 2025. Among other things, fans can expect several story DLCs and regular patches.
