Warhorse Studios, the creative minds behind Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, have just rolled out a roadmap detailing what’s next for the highly anticipated RPG after its grand launch. Fans of the game can gear up for not just a sprawling journey within a larger game world but also an array of exciting post-launch content that promises to keep the experience fresh and engaging.
Announced last year, six years after the original, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is setting the bar high with its promise of a substantially bigger world and an immersive storyline rich with over five hours of cutscenes. As the release date approaches, the anticipation only grows, and the newly revealed information about post-launch expansions adds fuel to the fire.
For players hungry for more adventure beyond the initial release, Warhorse Studios has lined up three exciting DLC packs, accompanied by free updates to keep the adventure going year-round. The free update, scheduled for the spring, will introduce new features such as a Hardcore Mode, horse racing, and the ability to visit barbers. Following this, the summer will usher in the first DLC, “Brushes with Death,” with “Legacy of the Forge” dropping in the autumn, and finally “Mysteria Ecclesiae” concluding the year’s additional content in the winter. Exact dates remain a mystery, but it wouldn’t be far-fetched to expect these ambitious packs to roll out in roughly three-month intervals.
This additional DLC content won’t come as a surprise to those opting for the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s expansion pass, conveniently included in both the Gold Edition and Collector’s Edition of the game. With the game set to hit shelves on February 4, fans still have some time to secure these editions for a more enriched gameplay experience.
However, it’s not just the content that’s been grabbing headlines. Controversies surrounding the game have kept Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 in the spotlight for various reasons. Daniel Vavra, the creative director, has spoken out on these matters recently, clarifying that the game remained true to its historical roots despite the noise around representation. Further addressing the stir, Vavra stated that pre-orders remained unaffected, countering allegations of the game being too “woke” and challenging critics, specifically calling out a YouTuber for stirring trouble.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is shaping up to be more than just a follow-up—it’s crafted as an exhilarating action RPG that finds its players wielding the destiny of Henry of Skalitz amidst the turmoil of 15th Century Bohemia. From navigating bustling cities to exploring lush forests, the game promises an epic journey through a beautifully brutal medieval world. With its release just around the corner, this RPG aims to offer adventure, intrigue, and a brave stand against the tides of war.
