Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: there is still hope

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 could, in fact, be a thing. And it’s not just wishful thinking at this point. There’s still hope for a sequel to the massive medieval RPG – and plenty of clues that support it.

It’s not just the world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance that is absolutely huge, but so are the rumors surrounding a possible (and highly anticipated) sequel. There are several hints about the developers working on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 without the developers actually saying the words: “We are working on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.”

In Kingdom Come, you play as Henry, the son of a blacksmith from 15th century Bohemia. After his hometown, Skalitz, is attacked by Cuman soldiers, Henry is one of the few people to escape the massacre alive. This is where his journey begins, and it’s up to the player to do with his life what he wants. What is it going to be? Honorable knight? A sneaky assassin? Bohemian Robin Hood? A murdered tramp?

Known for the great immersion that the game offers and for the massive and lovingly designed open world, players have been waiting for a possible sequel to the game since 2018 at this point.

There is hope for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

First of all: in 2019, Embracer Group has acquired Warhorse, the studio behind Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Fortunately, the team has continued to work on elements of KDC since the acquisition, and will next release a port for the Nintendo Switch (due for release in 2024). How the Switch should handle Kingdom Come is beyond me, but I wish them luck…

But it’s only a Switch port, how about a sequel? Well, Warhorse first sparked hope for KDC 2 with a Tweet in April 2023. It was about a job posting at the studio for a new cinematic designer for “AAA quality cinematics” – they are obviously working on something and looking at the image they have created. posted with it, it looks like they could give us a new medieval adventure.

For our new project, we are looking for a talented cinematographic designer with great skills in film editing/directing. If you’ve ever wanted to create AAA quality, movie-worthy cutscenes, this could be your time.

And it gets even better: according to multiple sources, a report from Embracer Group mentions that Kingdom Come: Deliverance was one of their group’s most successful games, making a sequel not only something fans hope for, but also a potentially smart business decision. .

But the most important piece of evidence (since deleted) was an Instagram post from bma_artists. In the post, they congratulate Richard Kiess for landing a voice acting role as “the character ‘John of Liechtenstein’ in Kingdom Come 2.”

The original post from May 2022 didn’t stay online for that long, which is understandable, as that would have been the first source confirmed that KDC 2 is actually happening. Given how little news there is regarding the sequel, it’s likely that Warhorse has imposed strict NDAs on everyone they work with.

Everything points to a sequel at the moment, but keep in mind: bad things could still happen and everything could still burn down like Skalitz did.

I do have one more clue for you that points to a Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Ironically, this will probably upset a number of KDC fans.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 could abandon Henry

Just to be sure: SPOILER WARNING! If you haven’t completed the game, you might want to go away and get to work.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is somewhat infamous for not resolving the main plot at the end of the game. To refresh your memory: Skalitz burns, Henry’s parents are killed, and the sword intended for Lord Radzig is stolen . The plot starts from there, the end goal is always the same.

Vengeance and the sword – the two main objectives throughout the game – are both absent. After hours of searching, in the end, Henry still rides off into the sunset without having taken his revenge or the sword.

This sounds like sequel bait with extra steps in my book. It’s not even “bait” at this point. However, maybe it’s not Henry we play like in KDC 2. Dan Vávra, one of the founders of Warhorse, tweeted photos from the studio. In one of them, there is a white board in the background that says “KDC 2 – 1506”.

It’s more than a hundred years after Henry’s adventure. No way Henry was there at that time. One theory points to one of his descendants, perhaps still seeking revenge. Or maybe we will leave Bohemia, find a new protagonist and head a little west, to Germany, Austria or even Liechtenstein – it would make sense to meet “John of Liechtenstein” there. by Richard Kiess, right? Who says John isn’t the new protagonist?

The thing is, while everything points to a sequel to Kingdom Come: Deliverance, there’s a suspicious lack of clues about Henry and his journey after the first game. That said, a possible sequel set in 1506 seems incredible.

At this point, the possibilities are endless: there could be a new game with Henry, a new game without Henry, or no new game at all. Until Warhorse gives any news, we’re just speculating – but you have to admit, it looks positive.

And, just to say, they haven’t denied working on Kingdom Come 2, which would be an easy thing to do if there’s no hope of a sequel.
