Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s late-game economy may get rebalanced soon-ish

by

Initially, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 doesn’t hold back with its challenges. However, as you progress into the Kuttenberg region, the game’s economic system seems to lose coherence, a situation that might be addressed, hinting at possible adjustments, according to Daniel Vávra, the creative director of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

In the intricate role-playing game Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you begin with scant resources, necessitating Henry to resort to stealing as a means to prosper. As you advance towards Kuttenberg, most interactions involve adversaries heavily armored, and armor in this game fetches an exceptionally high price. Consequently, financial worries are alleviated, a detail not overlooked by Warhorse Entertainment. Notably, Vávra recently engaged in a Czech charity livestream with streamer Agraelus, discussing this very aspect of the game.

Expect an economy rebalance update for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2… eventually

Keep in mind that this information was shared by a Reddit user who speaks Czech. VincentVanHades kindly translated comments made by Vávra, which were posted on the main subreddit for Kingdom Come 2. If you’re fluent in Czech, you can watch the full video discussion on YouTube now. It runs for approximately seven hours, making it an engaging choice if you’re fascinated by the project and have some free time available.

Stepping back in, I acknowledge that Vávra highlighted some challenges with Kingdom Come 2, particularly the combat system and economy. It seems they find the balance of the combat tricky, as Warhorse isn’t sure if any tweaks should be applied to ongoing gameplay or saved for the upcoming Hardcore Mode update. Additionally, it takes Warhorse’s testing team several weeks to thoroughly assess everything, which in turn slows down development progress.

As a gamer, I’ve noticed that in Kingdom Come 2, earning money seems like a breeze when enemies don slabs of heavy armor, as each defeated foe can drop over a thousand Groschen. However, traders only stock up to 800 Groschen per resupply. This makes it tempting to skip money-making tasks once I’m decently equipped. Vávra seems to believe that earning money is a breeze in this game, so the solution might be a significant reduction in armor trade pricing. Since this was just a charity stream, we can expect more details about potential changes later on.

It’s intriguing to note that Vávra seems to suggest the potential continuation of the Kingdom Come series, perhaps alluding to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 3. When probed about possible sequels for Kingdom Come, Vávra exhibited the same enigmatic grinning he did when hinting at Kingdom Come 2, so interpret that as you wish. Additionally, remember that we’re working on DLCs for Kingdom Come 2, which is exciting news if you’re a new admirer of Henry of Skalitz as well.
