Developer Warhorse Studios has confirmed it's revealing a new game on April 18 and a long-time insider says it's Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. A follow-up to Kingdom Come: Deliverance has long been expected by fans, who may be brought out of the dark soon.
Kingdom Come and its emphasis on realism was a hit among most fans. Users explored 15th-century Bohemia while playing through Henry's entertaining quests and learning to adapt to the game's challenging survival mechanics. At launch, Kingdom Come had plenty of bugs which led to somewhat mixed reviews from critics, but the game enjoyed a much better reception from fans, as it sits at a Very Positive rating on Steam and an 8.1 user score on Metacritic. As time went on, Warhorse ironed out most of the more problematic bugs and eventually released the game on all major platforms with a Switch launch in March.
10 Open-World Games As Immersive As Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Fans of Kingdom Come Deliverance don't have to look far to find another open-world game that's just as immersive. Here are some of the best.
It seems that fans don't need to wait long for information regarding Kingdom Come: Deliverance's anticipated sequel, as insider Tom Henderson said with certainty that Warhorse's reveal later this month is Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Warhorse's reveal is set for Thursday, April 18 at 2 p.m. EST and will be streamed on Twitch and YouTube. It's unclear what the studio plans to show, whether it's full-on gameplay or just a brief teaser. Seeing that the game's release date is possibly a year or more away, the latter does seem likely. However, this is only speculation at this point.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Possibly Being Revealed on April 18
The original is regarded as one of the best games centered around medieval history ever released. Most fans are expecting Warhorse to continue this trend after bringing in historical experts to aid in the first Kingdom Come's development. Other potential features in the sequel include a brand-new setting, improved optimization, and hopefully fewer bugs.
In the meantime, fans can breathe new life into Kingdom Come: Deliverance thanks to its modding community. These mods range from quality-of-life improvements like adding a bow reticle or instant herb picking to major gameplay changes like making roads significantly more dangerous or allowing unlimited saves.
Although Kingdom Come: Deliverance's combat is hard to beat, fans can also check out the best medieval combat games. Less realistic games like Chivalry 2 or Mordhau, which still do their best to recreate the era's combat, allow medieval buffs to participate in multiplayer battles with significant but enjoyable skill curves.

WHERE TO PLAY
Bohemia – located in the heart of Europe, the region is rich in culture, silver, and sprawling castles. The death of its beloved ruler, Emperor Charles IV, has plunged the kingdom into dark times: war, corruption, and discord are tearing this jewel of the Holy Roman Empire apart.
One of Charles' sons, Wenceslas, has inherited the crown. Unlike his father, Wenceslas is a naive, self-indulgent, unambitious monarch. His half-brother and King of Hungary, Sigismund the Red Fox, senses weakness in Wenceslas. Feigning good will, Sigismund travels to Bohemia and kidnaps his half-brother. With no king on the throne, Sigismund is now free to plunder Bohemia and seize its riches.
In the midst of this chaos, you're Henry, the son of a blacksmith. Your peaceful life is shattered when a mercenary raid, ordered by King Sigismund himself, burns your village to the ground. By bittersweet fortune, you are one of the few survivors of this massacre.
Without a home, family, or future you end up in the service of Lord Radzig Kobyla, who is forming a resistance against the invasion. Fate drags you into this bloody conflict and shoves you into a raging civil war, where you help fight for the future of Bohemia.
