Summary
- Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has been delayed to February 11, 2025, but it will be showcased at Gamescom with a new trailer and gameplay footage.
- The sequel promises to build on the historical accuracy and first-person melee combat of the original game, providing exciting new features.
- The delay to 2025 allows RPG fans some breathing room amidst this fall's busy release schedule, but positions it against Avowed, which launches on February 18.
Warhorse Studios has given a big update on its upcoming Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 RPG, revealing its delayed release date, and letting fans know what to expect from the game at Gamescom next week. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was originally slated to come out sometime later this year as one of 2024's largest RPG releases, but its release date was recently leaked online, pointing toward a delay to next year.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance was Warhorse Studios' very first game, which released in 2018 to largely positive reception from RPG fans. The narrative-driven medieval RPG was praised for its commitment to historical accuracy, putting players in the Kingdom of Bohemia and featuring satisfying and grounded first-person melee combat. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 looks to continue the story of the first game with a variety of gameplay improvements, new features, and more.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has finally divulged its release date, though some fans may be disappointed. In a two-minute video posted to Twitter, Warhorse Studios announced that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has been delayed to 2025, and will be released on February 11, a few days off from the release anniversary of the first game. Warhorse also confirmed that it'll have a huge presence at this upcoming Gamescom, with a new Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 trailer at Geoff Keighley's Opening Night Live. A 20-minute slice of gameplay footage will be shown off during Gamescom week, as well as the full unveiling of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's collector's edition.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Release Date
- February 11, 2025
Considering the heavy hitters that are set to release this Fall, like Assassin's Creed Shadows, Metaphor: Re-Fantazio, Greedfall 2's early access, and others, moving such a big RPG like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 out of the way to next year is surely a relief for RPG fans who will likely have their plates full this Fall season. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's February 11 release date puts it just one week ahead of the release of Obsidian Entertainment's highly anticipated fantasy RPG Avowed, on February 18. It'll be interesting to see which title RPG fans gravitate towards. While both are first-person fantasy RPGs, they each offer different experiences, as Avowed features heavy fantasy elements, while Kingdom Come: Deliverance is strictly medieval. In terms of direct competition, Avowed's availability on Xbox Game Pass will free up many RPG fans to also purchase Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
Eager fans awaiting Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 should keep an eye on Gamescom next week for the game's appearance at Opening Night Live on August 20, its 20-minute gameplay slice, and the details of the game's collector's edition contents. Gamers who have yet to play the first game will now have plenty more time to do so before the sequel drops on February 11.
