That was fast: A trailer for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 leaked yesterday, and today we got the official announcement for the game, including a two-minute trailer. And let me tell you, it looks amazing. But not only that, we also got some information about the game, which will be released this year.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II - Welcoming Both Newcomers And Die-Hard Fans Alike

The sequel has been designed and written in such a way that it should also be of interest to newcomers who may not have been players of the first game. Of course, longstanding fans of the franchise will also be pleased.

Thematically, it's back to 15th century Bohemia. The story picks up where its predecessor left off: As Henry, the brave son of a blacksmith, you will find yourself in a turbulent tale of revenge, betrayal, and self-discovery. You'll traverse a lovingly crafted medieval world, with locations ranging from humble forges to magnificent royal courts. The world looks great in the trailer, with truly impressive graphics and the same dense atmosphere as the first game.

Explore Bohemia's Vast Realms

In the treacherous currents of a kingdom torn apart by civil war, two new maps await you. Both are as large as those in the first game and represent the so-called Bohemian Paradise. You can explore the Trosky Castle or the urbanized environment of the silver mining town of Kuttenberg, which will be much larger than Salitz in the first game.The new game will continue Henry's journey through quests with multiple paths and a variety of cutscenes, totaling more than five hours. The combat system has been redesigned to be more accessible. One thing that will not change is the realistic depiction of medieval combat. In addition to sword fighting, there will be ranged attacks, with the addition of crossbows and early firearms.

A more concrete release window or even an exact release date for Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is still unknown – but we can look forward to playing it this year.
