Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Might Have The Longest Script in Gaming History

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I can confidently say that Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is shaping up to be a game of epic proportions. The sheer scale of this game, with its 2.2 million words of dialogue, surpasses even the legendary GTA 5 and Baldur’s Gate 3.

It’s been announced that Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 will provide a massive, immersive journey when it launches in February, and some figures have been shared to give a sense of its depth. In a tweet, Daniel Vávra from Warhorse Studios revealed that the script for KCDII contains approximately 11,000 standard screenwriting pages, which translates to around 2.2 million words of dialogue.

1. The number you’re referring to is quite astounding. To give you an idea, it was projected ten years ago that GTA 5’s entire script spanned approximately 3,500 pages. In 2023, Baldur’s Gate 3 debuted, boasting a dialogue total of roughly 2 million words, which earned it the Guinness World Record for the longest script in a video game.

Could we have a new record holder?

Going The Distance

The sequel to Kingdom Come Deliverance, titled Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, appears to be developing into an enormous open-world role-playing game. This expansive journey is a direct continuation from the 2018 release of Kingdom Come Deliverance, one of my top favorite games and a highly engaging, authentic medieval role-playing experience.

In the following part of the story, we find ourselves alongside our character, Henry from Skalitz, delving into a realm that’s doubled in size compared to the previous one. Abounding with numerous sub-plots and a drawn-out narrative that typically takes players over 50 hours to finish, King’s Court II promises to captivate players for weeks on end with its expansive, intricate setting.

On Twitter, Daniel Vávra revealed just how sizeable a quest the player is facing with KCDII:

Yesterday, Prokop Jirsa and I took stock of the script we developed for KCD2. Can you believe it? We’ve written an astounding 2 million words or roughly 11,000 standard screenwriting pages! That equates to writing 100 scripts for a typical two-hour movie or around 25 average novels. Impressive, isn’t it?

As a die-hard fan, if that figure gets verified, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 would undoubtedly snatch the Guinness World Record for the longest video game script ever penned. Given the remarkable talent at Warhorse Studios and the exceptional voice acting skills of stars like Tom McKay, I’m confident that not a single word in this game will be superfluous or lack significance.

Are you excited to sink your teeth into Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 when it’s released next year?
