The new reveal trailers:
Daniel Vavra, creative director, said in a presentation:
- “What we are making now is what it was supposed to be in the beginning, but we weren’t able to do it because we didn’t have enough resources and experiences and all that stuff.”
- “We’ve proven the concept works, so now we can take it to another level, which is what we always wanted.”
Warhorse on its new game:
Diving back into the heart-pounding world of 15th Century Bohemia (Central Europe), Kingdom Come: Deliverance II picks up where its predecessor left off, thrusting players into the shoes of Henry, the steadfast son of a blacksmith, embroiled in a tumultuous tale of vengeance, betrayal, and self-discovery.
In this gripping sequel, players will traverse a meticulously crafted medieval landscape, from the humble confines of a blacksmith’s forge to the grandeur of royal courts, all while navigating the treacherous currents of a kingdom torn apart by civil war.

Join Discussion →Since it was going to be short I actually took the time to watch the premiere, probably the 1st one I've watched in years. I'm sort of excited for it and it has me interested in re-installing the 1st to give another shot. I liked the 1st one but was more interested in fantasy at the time but also got tired of tweaking every setting to try and get at least 55ish FPS at 4K. The 4090 ought to plow right through it so giving it another shot could be a lot of fun.
Visually I think some of this looks spectacular. There are things I don't like but not enough to drive me away. Music is pretty cool too.
