**Prague, Czech Republic –** Warhorse Studios’ highly anticipated sequel, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, is set to launch February 4th, 2025, and early access reviews are painting a positive picture. Picking up directly where the 2018 original left off, the game plunges players back into the tumultuous 15th-century Bohemia.
The prologue follows Henry and Sir Hans as they attempt to deliver a crucial message amidst a raging civil war. Their journey is fraught with peril, including encounters with bandits, a near-fatal ambush resulting in Henry’s injuries mirroring his condition at the start of the first game, and ultimately, an arrest.
The review highlights several improvements over the original. The narrative is enhanced by improved voice acting and animation, and the visuals are stunning. Gameplay mechanics, such as speech and combat, have received refinements, adding depth and consequence to player choices. A new “heat” system increases guard alertness based on player actions, and NPCs demonstrate improved awareness of crimes and theft.
While the combat system, featuring new additions like crossbows and early firearms, is deemed less challenging in the prologue, the reviewer expresses confidence that difficulty will increase as the game progresses. The overall experience, however, is described as captivating, with the reviewer praising the writing, characters, and presentation. The game’s performance on mid-range hardware is also noted as a significant improvement over its predecessor.
*Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is available for pre-order on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), and PS5. PC players can find the best deals on the Steam version through retailers like CDKeys.
