With Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 nearly here and looking incredible it’s sure to attract many new players who may have never dabbled with the original. As it’s a direct sequel, players assume the role of Henry and head back to 15th century Bohemia, picking up right where things left off. If you never played or finished the original, fret not. Warhorse Studios was ready for you with a 10-minute long, official story recap ahead of the sequel’s official release on February 4th.
Diving back into the heart-pounding world of 15th Century Bohemia (Central Europe), Kingdom Come: Deliverance II picks up where its predecessor left off, thrusting players into the shoes of Henry, the steadfast son of a blacksmith embroiled in a tumultuous tale of vengeance, betrayal, and self-discovery. In this gripping sequel, players will traverse a meticulously crafted medieval landscape, from the humble confines of a blacksmith’s forge to the grandeur of royal courts, all while navigating the treacherous currents of a kingdom torn apart by civil war.
Across two new maps – double the size of the previous game – players can explore the beautiful and diverse Bohemian Paradise (a real-world location you can still visit in the Czech Republic) from the majestic Trosky Castle to more urban environments such as the silver mining town of Kuttenberg (a Unesco World Heritage site). With over five hours of immersive cutscenes narrating Henry’s journey, players will find themselves captivated by the unfolding drama at every turn.
The combat system of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II has been revamped to make it more accessible while staying true to its nature as a depiction of real medieval martial arts. From elegant swordplay to deadly ranged attacks, such as the newly added crossbows or early gunpowder weapons, players will be able to fight like a true medieval knight. The game is also a true to the core RPG experience, where you can take multiple approaches to quests, evolve Henry in any way you see fit, and get lost in a responsive and lively world.
Join Henry on his quest for redemption and revenge in 1403 Bohemia later this year and remember: “Audentes fortuna iuvat.”
