Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a 2025 action role-playing game developed by Warhorse Studios and published by Deep Silver. The sequel to Kingdom Come: Deliverance (2018), the game was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 4 February 2025. The game received generally favorable reviews from critics and sold two million copies within two weeks of release.

Gameplay

[edit]

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is an open-world action role-playing game in which the protagonist is controlled from a first-person perspective. Missions and objectives are able to be managed in different ways, with NPCs and communities reacting respectively.[1][2] In turn, the reactions to the player character (PC) influence his daily life and character development.[3] The three skills Oratory, Charisma and Intimidation, that were applicable in dialogues with NPCs in the first game have been supplemented by Appearance, Coercion and Dominate.[4]

Unlike the beginning of its predecessor, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II does not start with Henry completely inexperienced and untrained.[5] For the first time, the game features crossbows and early forms of firearms.[1] The former can also be fired while riding.[2]

Synopsis

[edit]

Setting

[edit]

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II takes place in the year 1403[1] in the Kingdom of Bohemia, then part of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown and of the Holy Roman Empire, in what is now the Czech Republic. The game directly follows on from the end of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and takes place in the "turmoil of a civil war", where Henry fights against the invading Sigismund, King of Hungary and Croatia and his allies.[6][better source needed] It concludes Henry's story.[7]

Area around Trosky Castle is one of the key locations of the game
Modern day view of Kutná Hora. The game features a 15th century recreation of the city, with a focus on historical accuracy

The game world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is twice as large as that of its predecessor. Instead of the latter's single connected world, the former encompasses two larger, freely explorable areas. One area is the Bohemian Paradise, a cultural landscape with lots of nature, while the other is the city of Kutná Hora (called by its original German name Kuttenberg in the game) and its surroundings.[1] In the late Middle Ages, Kutná Hora was the second largest city in Bohemia after Prague, and one of the richest economic centers in the country due to silver mining and coinage.[2]

Characters

[edit]

The protagonist is Henry of Skalitz (Tom McKay), a man-at-arms in service of Sir Radzig Kobyla (Michael Pitthan), his biological father. Henry leads a resistance in favour of the imprisoned King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor Wenceslaus IV, against the usurper King Sigismund of Luxembourg (George Lenz). In addition to his role as an envoy to Radzig, Henry seeks personal revenge against Sigismund and his emissaries. Henry is joined in his journey by the pompous nobleman Sir Hans Capon of Pirkstein (Luke Dale). Sir Istvan Toth (Logan Hillier), the main antagonist of the first game and King Sigismund are also present in the sequel. Several other characters of KCD1 reappear, including the unconventional parish priest Father Godwin (Euan Macnaughton) and the brash Lord Hanush of Leipa (Peter Hosking, Daniel Vávra).[8][9]

Plot

[edit]

Sir Hans Capon, Henry, and a small entourage travel from Rattay to Trosky Castle to inquire whether Otto von Bergow's allegiance to Sigismund has been shaken. As the group camps for the night, they are attacked by bandits. While losing their possessions, Henry and Capon escape seriously wounded. Bozhena, a local herb-woman, nurses them back to health. Arriving at Trosky, Henry and Capon are denied entry when they are unable to prove their identities due to their rugged appearance. At a nearby tavern, Capon starts a brawl and Henry and Capon are put in a stockade. When they are released, Capon blames Henry, leading to them falling out, and Capon departs on his own.

Henry learns that Bergow will attend a wedding in the village of Semine. At the wedding, Bergow never arrives, and the groom, Olda Semine, secretly departs. Henry and Hans reconcile there. Another brawl breaks out, and both Henry and Capon are imprisoned in Trosky. Henry is assigned forced labor, but Capon is sentenced to die for poaching. Henry learns that Captain Thomas, who met them the night before the bandit attack, can acknowledge them as noble retinue and prevent the execution, but needs medical treatment after also suffering a bandit attack. Henry and Thomas interrupt Capon's execution and Bergow finally arrives. Capon delivers his message, but instead of addressing the matter of his allegiance, Bergow explains his priority is to suppress the banditry.

Capon and Henry enlist the help of forces from fortress Nebakov. A captured bandit reveals that Olda Semine is in league with the bandits; the player can choose for Henry to reveal Semine's betrayal. If they do so, an enraged Bergow dispatches Henry and Capon alongside a small troop led by Burgrave Hashek to confront Semine. Hashek declares his intention to raze the entire town; the player can choose for Henry to side with Hashek or defend the people of Semine. Henry learns that Olda left his wedding early to ambush Bergow, and that the forces of Nebakov are actually disguised outlaws that attacked Capon's retinue. Bergow musters an armed force to retake Nebakov. The troops fall into a trap, and Henry and Capon are taken prisoner by the bandits after Henry duels and wounds their leader, hetman Jan Zizka.

Lords Hanush of Leipa and Radzig Kobyla send Father Godwin to investigate what happened to Henry and Capon. Godwin encounters Zizka, who agrees to free Henry and Capon if Godwin assists in suppressing a rebellion led by Bergow's spy, Istvan Toth. Henry and Capon learn that Jan Zizka has been supporting King Wenceslas by engaging in banditry against Bergow.

Nebakov is soon assaulted by the forces of Bergow, Toth and Markvart von Aulitz. Henry, Godwin, and Zizka are captured and tortured for information back at Trosky castle; Capon is held separately for ransom. They are set free by Katherine, a cook at the castle in league with Zizka. While recovering his equipment, Henry finds a letter from King Sigismund to Istvan, revealing that Sigismund is planning to kill his enemies, including John II of Liechtenstein. Henry seeks out Istvan, finding him in one of the castle towers. After honourably dueling him, or dishonourably disemboweling him, Henry defenestrates Istvan and recovers the sword his father made for Radzig.

The group escape through tunnels underneath the castle that lead them to a cave entrance located in nearby Apolena rock formation. After evading search parties, and with no support base left in Trosky region, Henry, Zizka, and Katherine flee to the Kuttenberg region, while Godwin returns to Kobyla and Hanush to inform them about recent events.

Henry and his allies stop at Suchdol where they meet Peter of Pisek and Margrave Jobst. The latter warns them that he has negotiated a truce with King Sigismund, and demands them to refrain from violence, banditry, and the liberation of Capon. Zizka has a low opinion of Jobst, and disregards his wishes. Henry and Katherine then enter Kuttenberg in order to locate and warn Liechtenstein about Sigismund's plans, finding him sheltered in the city's Jewish ghetto, safeguarded by Samuel, local jewish vigilante and grandson of a local rabbi. With Liechtenstein's intel, they discern Maleshov castle, newly acquired by Bergow, to be Capon's prison.

Henry helps Zizka recruit a group of mercenaries from a group called the "Devil's Pack" led by "Dry Devil", another anti-Sigismund insurgent, and secures the help of lord Kunzlin Ruthard, former owner of Maleshov, by helping them secure their remaining holdings from extortion by Sigismund's new mintmaster, Ulrich Vavak, by gathering incriminating evidence of Vavak's minting fraud scheme. Kunzlin's daughter, lady Rosa Ruthard, informs Henry about Maleshov's secret tunnel network in exchange, allowing Henry to infiltrate Maleshov and rescue Capon and another prisoner, Vaquelin Brabant. Shortly after their escape, Henry and Capon are intercepted on the road by Radzig, Hanush and Godwin, on their way to the meeting of loyalist lords in Suchdol, and informed about Sigismund's presence at upcoming Kuttenberg city council meeting. Capon accompanies lords to Suchdol, while Henry is sent to spy on the meeting in Kuttenberg.

Henry, masquerading as a waiter at the city council meeting, witnesses Sigismund and Markvart ordering a pogrom against Kuttenberg Jewish community, and rushes back to Suchdol to inform the others. Meanwhile, loyalist lords at Suchdol are undecisive and quarrelsome about their further strategy, until Godwin (revealed to be disowned son of one of the lords) clandestinely influences individual lords with assistance from Jobst and Liechtenstein to unify, unwittingly securing Capon's marriage to a lady from Kunshtat family along the way. The meeting is then interrupted by an attack from Sigismund's forces, led by Bergow, who manage to capture some of the lords before Henry arrives and helps his allies to repulse the assault. Immediately afterwards, Henry races back to Kuttenberg to warn Samuel, and helps him evacuate the ghetto during the already ongoing pogrom led by Erik, henchman and lover of Istvan, learning along the way that Samuel is son of Martin, Henry's surrogate father. Samuel escorts the jewish refugees to nearby Kolin and joins Henry and his allies at their hideout, the Devil's Den.

Zizka and Dry Devil propose a plan to assault Maleshov and capture Bergow in order to use him as a leverage to free the captured loyalist lords. Brabant, bankrolled by a donation secured by Samuel from Jewish refugees, hires additional mercenaries, while Henry and Katherine infiltrate the camp of Sigismund's army to gather information that would allow the group to steal a bombard that the army possesses. Henry manages to get enlisted in the camp's artillery corps of Prague militiamen, and secures the trust of Praguer's commander by resolving a murder of another of the camp's commanders, exonerating the initial suspect, camp surgeon Musa of Mali, along the way. Finally, Henry learns of Praguer's relocation of the bombard and passes the information to Zizka through Katherine, allowing Zizka, Devil's Pack and Brabant's mercenaries to ambush their convoy and steal the bombard along the way.

With ordinance and manpower secured, Henry and his allies storm Maleshov and capture Bergow. Player has a choice of either allowing Dry Devil to sack the village of Maleshov before the assault and divert Bergow's men for a smoother assault, or duel and beat Dry Devil to dissuade him from this action, but making the assault more difficult. Bergow informs Henry and Zizka that Sigismund's position in Bohemia is unsustainable in the long term, and that robbing Sigismund's silver reserves, held at his Kuttenberg royal residence, the Italian Court, would force Sigismund to retreat. Italian Court also happens to be where the loyalist lords are being held prisoner, and Zizka proposes a heist and liberation plan.

Henry's group plans the heist, with one half masquerading as a retinue of a papal legate sent to Kuttenberg to resolve conflict between local clergy and abbey at the meeting in Italian Court, while second half digs in through the underground network of the city's abandoned silver mining shafts to allow them to steal the silver and escape. Godwin, comically masquerading as a legate after the original one is accidentally killed by Devil's Pack member Adder, stalls the meeting long enough for Henry to help the rest of the group to tunnel in, take over the court, liberate loyalist lords, and escape with the silver while Erik unsuccessfully tries to retake control of the Court, almost killing Henry before being attacked and stalled by Musa in gratitude for Henry saving his life. Brabant and his mercenaries reveal their plan to steal the silver for themselves, killing Adder in the process, and Henry's party manages to repulse him, but not to prevent his escape.

Rushing out of the city with the silver, the party is chased by Erik, and Zizka redirects the party to Suchdol castle before they're overran. As expected, Sigismund and his army break camp and leave Bohemia, but Markvart, Erik, recently escaped Bergow, and Brabant, who joined Sigismund's side, besiege Suchdol with Praguer's retinue. Initial defence is successful, and Markvart is mortally wounded by Dry Devil in the process, but after a protracted siege, with outer bailey lost and food shortage critical, Henry and Samuel decide to sneak out of the castle and bring help from Jobst, Hanush and Radzig. Samuel is captured shortly after and interrogated by Brabant, and Henry has a choice of rescuing Samuel (killing or sparing Brabant in the process), or leaving him behind. Optionally, Henry can find dying Markvart in the camp and, after regretful Markvart laments the futility of war and admits that neither Wenceslaus nor Sigismund are worthy of the throne, can either spare him, dishonourably kill him, or honourably end his suffering.

With or without Samuel, Henry manages to reach the relief force and guide them to Suchdol, and Radzig along with Hanush and Jobst leads a cavalry charge that repulses the Praguer's retinue and ends the siege. With Sigismund retreating, the loyalists claim and celebrate the victory. In the epilogue, Henry is assigned by Hanush to Capon's retinue once again in order to make sure his planned wedding proceeds, is visited by an apparition of his parents who reflect on his actions and inquire about his future plans (constituting either for a "good" or "bad" ending), and finally speaks with Radzig, who acknowledges Henry's bravery and offers Henry Martin's sword.

In post credit scenes, Zizka, heavily drunk during the victory celebration in Suchdol, dares Dry Devil to shoot an apple from the top of his head, but comparably drunk Dry Devil accidentally hits the visor of Zizka's helmet, blinding him in his left eye (and thus giving Zizka his signature eyepatch), and in a flashback, Sigismund is informed about the Italian Court heist and angrily trashes his royal chamber, cursing Bohemia and Czech people (foreshadowing his difficult attemps at ensuring his rule in the country) before finally ordering the retreat.

Development and release

[edit]
Creative director of the game, Daniel Vávra

Development on Kingdom Come: Deliverance II began in July 2019, following the release of Kingdom Come: Deliverance and its downloadable content.[10] While Warhorse Studios had 131 employees in 2019,[11] it had grown to around 250 people by spring 2024 at the latest.[2][12] Warhorse Studios wanted Kingdom Come: Deliverance II to be the game that Kingdom Come: Deliverance was supposed to be with their improved resources and experience.[10] The game uses a heavily customised version of the CryEngine,[12][7] with music composed by Czech composers Jan Valta[2] and Adam Sporka.[13][14] The protagonist, Henry, is again portrayed by the British actor Tom McKay.[15] In addition, the expertise of various historians, universities and museums was again drawn on to represent a "realistic, immersive and believable medieval world".[16] Unlike the development of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, the motion capture was supplemented by facial capture.[15] Stunt riders also took part in the development of Kingdom Come Deliverance II.[15] The game is interspersed with a total of five hours of cutscenes and be accessible to those who have not played its predecessor.[1][2]

According to lead developer Daniel Vávra, the game's script has 2.2 million words.[17] The script of the previous record holder, Baldur's Gate 3, contains around two million words, according to Guinness World Records.[18]

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II was announced and revealed in April 2024 in a recorded video set in St. Barbara's Church, Kutná Hora. The game was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 4 February 2025.[10][19][20]

Versions

[edit]

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II was released in three retail versions; in addition to the base Standard Edition, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is available as a Gold Edition and Collector's Edition. The Gold Edition contains three DLCs/add-ons that will be released later, equipment for the protagonist and bonus content called "Shields of Seasons Passing", which was be released with the release of the base game. Both the Standard Edition and the Gold Edition are available via digital download and as a physical edition. Buyers of the Standard Edition can purchase the three expansions and the bonus content "Shields of Seasons Passing" online as a digital bundle offer. The Collector's Edition includes all the content of the Gold Edition and is supplemented by several merchandise items. All pre-orderers receive a bonus quest, "The Lion Crest", which in turn brings additional equipment for Henry.[21][22][23]

In January 2025, the Saudi Arabian outlet VGA4A reported that the game would be refused classification and consequently banned in Saudi Arabia due to Warhorse Studio's refusal to alter the game's content to suit the country's media guidelines, namely the portrayal of a relationship between two male characters.[5][4][13][14][16] However, a statement regarding the game has yet to be released by the Saudi General Authority of Media Regulation. The potential ban was denied by the creative director of the game, Daniel Vávra. Nonetheless, the country has previously banned Final Fantasy XVI and The Last of Us Part II for similar content related reasons.[24] Journalists identified the game's forums included criticism of expanded same-sex romance options, the inclusion of the Mansa of Mali, and general complaints accusing the developer of becoming "woke".[25][26][27][28]

Post-launch content

[edit]

On 16 January 2025, Warhorse Studios revealed a DLC roadmap.[29][30][31][32] After launch, the game would receive free improvements such as a barber feature, hardcore mode and horse racing.[30][31][32] This would be followed along by additional paid DLC content Brushes with Death, Legacy of the Forge and Mysteria Ecclesiae over the course of 2025.[30][31][32] The paid DLC would be included in an expansion pass called "Shields of Seasons Passing."[30][31][32]

Reception

[edit]

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II received "generally favourable" reviews from critics, according to the review aggregator website Metacritic.[33][34][35] OpenCritic determined that 97% of critics recommended the game.[36] Critics praised Kingdom Come: Deliverance II for its immersive open-world, role-playing game mechanics, and story.[51]

Joshua Wolens of PC Gamer likened Kingdom Come: Deliverance II to other "system-heavy" games such as The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, stating that the game is a "ludicrously ambitious and peculiar thing that somehow fulfills its ambition and peculiarity." Wolens praised the game for its varied plot lines and activities, allowing the player to play as a soldier, spy, gambler or blacksmith.[52]

In a more critical review, Eurogamer's Katharine Castle criticised some of the complexities of the game, lamenting the heavy use of text menus to explain mechanics further, and that cutscenes and interactions were excessively long or bloated. She also called the supporting cast as "murderable", particularly Hans Capon.[53]

Reviewers noted that the game performed to a high level of optimisation on release, with few noticeable bugs or technical issues.[54][55] Brendan Lowry of Windows Central stated that "what Warhorse has built here undoubtedly stands tall as one of the most visually impressive games ever developed."[56]

Some fans vocally objected to the inclusion of expanded same sex romance options for Henry.[57][58][59] PR manager Tobias Stolz-Zwilling stated that he felt "fed up" with being caught in the culture war, emphasising that the studio's goal was to create a "rich, immersive historically accurate experience."[60]

Sales

[edit]

On release day, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II topped the Steam top-sellers list and broke even financially. It reached a peak concurrent player count on Steam of 159,351 players, beating Kingdom Come: Deliverance by more than 60,000 players.[61] The game broke its sixth concurrent Steam player record in as many days, peaking at 256,206 players.[62]

Accolades

[edit]

Before its release, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II won Best PC Game Award at Gamescom 2024.[63]
