It seems that the highly anticipated Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will not be gracing our screens this year. While delays have been less frequent since the pandemic, it's always a bit concerning when a game that was supposed to be released soon suddenly goes quiet for months. And unfortunately, this usually means one thing: a delay.
In what may come as a disappointment to fans, developer Warhouse Studios has announced that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will no longer be a 2024 release. Instead, the new release date has been pushed back to February 11, 2025. However, the game will still make an appearance at Gamescom next week. But as Warhorse states, "almost" making it for the end of the year is just not good enough, and so the delay was necessary.
The news of the delay started circulating on Wednesday evening, and Warhorse quickly put together a video to confirm it. This is despite the fact that the game never had a specific release date, which is usually not a great sign. But fans can still look forward to a 20-minute gameplay showcase and news about a Collectors Edition at Gamescom, so all hope is not lost.
The original Kingdom Come: Deliverance had its flaws, including the questionable politics of its director. However, it was a unique and ambitious attempt at a historically accurate medieval role-playing game. While the first-person action may not have been the best, and the lack of fantasy elements like dragons and orcs may have made it a bit dull at times, it still managed to achieve most of its goals and stood out among other games trying to emulate Skyrim.
One of the biggest issues with the original game was the numerous bugs and glitches at launch. But based on what has been shown of the sequel so far, it seems that Warhorse has made significant improvements in terms of graphics and hopefully stability as well. It's interesting to note, though, that for a game that prides itself on historical realism, the English accents in the trailers may seem odd to some. This is because the game is actually set in 15th century Bohemia, the predecessor to the modern-day Czech Republic.
The new release date for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is February 11, 2025 for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC. However, this puts it just one week before the release of another highly anticipated first-person action role-playing game, Avowed, which was also delayed from 2024 to early 2025. It seems that the video game industry has always struggled with release dates.
