Kingdom Come 2 is twice as big and hopefully twice as fun

Finally, the much-anticipated sequel to Warhorse Studio’s 2018 RPG higgen gem, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, has been unveiled. It is promised to be a vast expansion over its predecessor with a revamped combat system geared towards accessibility. So once again polish your armour, sharpen your sword and mount up with Henry of Skalitz.

For those unfamiliar with the original, Kingdom Come: Deliverance earned its place as a cult classic RPG, characterized by its raw authenticity, ambitious gameplay mechanics, and an immersive yet flawed world. Despite its rough edges, it garnered a dedicated fanbase drawn to its intricate classless leveling system, customizable skills, and a dynamic dialogue system influencing player progression.

In essence, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 appears to stay true to its roots while amplifying the scale. Warhorse Studios boasts that the game’s map will be twice the size of its predecessor, a bold claim considering the already expansive scope of the first installment, comparable to the vast landscapes of Skyrim. Moreover, the sequel aims to be not only a gateway for newcomers but also a more accessible experience overall.

In a recent press release, Warhorse Studios emphasized the overhaul of the combat system in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. They said-

“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,” Warhorse says in a press release. “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 decision to refine the combat system comes as no surprise, given that it was a divisive aspect of the original game. The original combat at times could be frustrating. But once you got the hang of it would be fluid and smooth and satisfying. Hopefully, these adjustments will smooth out the rough edges while preserving the game’s medieval realism that resonated with enthusiasts. It will hopefully increase the appeal for the potential this series holds.

Warhorse Studios assures fans that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 remains rooted in its RPG essence, offering players multiple quest approaches, extensive character progression options for the protagonist Henry, and an immersive, dynamic world teeming with life and responsiveness.

As anticipation builds for the sequel, fans eagerly await to embark on another epic journey through medieval Bohemia, bracing themselves for the challenges and adventures that await in the expanded world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
