Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Officially Hit With Release Date Delay

Highlights

  • 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.

As an avid gamer with a penchant for historical RPGs and a soft spot for melee combat, I must admit that the news about Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has left me both excited and slightly dismayed. Excited because the sequel promises to build on the excellence of its predecessor, and dismayed because I’ll have to wait until February 2025 to get my hands on it.

As an ardent enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that Warhorse Studios has shared some significant insights about the upcoming sequel to my beloved Kingdom Come: Deliverance – the highly anticipated Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. They’ve unveiled a slightly pushed-back release date and teased what we can anticipate from the game during Gamescom next week. Initially, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was set to hit shelves later this year, being one of the most anticipated RPG releases in 2024. However, recent leaks suggest a shift in the release date to next year.

In their debut title, Warhorse Studios introduced Kingdom Come: Deliverance in 2018, which was warmly accepted by role-playing game enthusiasts. This narrative-driven medieval RPG stood out for its dedication to historical authenticity, immersing players in the Kingdom of Bohemia and offering realistic and engaging first-person melee combat. The upcoming sequel, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, aims to expand on the original game’s storyline with refined gameplay mechanics, additional features, and further developments.

As a dedicated gamer, I couldn’t hide my excitement when Warhorse Studios finally revealed the release date for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. However, a twinge of disappointment hit me as they announced that we’ll have to wait until 2025 to get our hands on it. In a heartfelt video shared on Twitter, they confirmed this delay and marked the calendar for February 11, a date just shy of the anniversary of the first game’s release.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Release Date

  • February 11, 2025

With an array of highly anticipated RPGs slated for release this Fall, such as “Assassin’s Creed Shadows”, “Metaphor: Re-Fantazio”, “Greedfall 2” (early access), and more, shifting the launch date of a major RPG like “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2” to next year is undoubtedly a welcome move for RPG enthusiasts who might find themselves swamped with options this Fall. The new release date for “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2”, set for February 11, places it only a week before the launch of Obsidian Entertainment’s anticipated fantasy RPG, “Avowed”, on February 18. It will be intriguing to observe which title RPG fans lean towards, given that both are first-person fantasy RPGs but provide distinct experiences. While “Avowed” delves into heavy fantasy elements, “Kingdom Come: Deliverance” maintains a strictly medieval setting. In terms of head-to-head competition, the availability of “Avowed” on Xbox Game Pass could encourage many RPG fans to also acquire “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2”.

Enthusiastic supporters looking forward to “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2” should stay tuned during Gamescom next week, as the game is set to be shown at Opening Night Live on August 20. This includes a 20-minute gameplay sneak peek and details about the contents of its collector’s edition. For those gamers who haven’t played the original yet, they now have extra time to do so before the sequel launches on February 11.
