Are you ready to return to medieval Bohemia? If you loved the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance, get ready to be blown away by its sequel! Kingdom Come: Deliverance II builds on everything that made the first game a cult favorite—historical accuracy, deep RPG mechanics, and immersive storytelling—while introducing exciting new features and a more polished experience.

The Story – A Bigger, Bolder Journey

The game picks up right where the original left off, following Henry and Sir Hans Capon as they arrive in a new region. The story begins with an intense castle siege before flashing back to show how things escalated to that point. Expect an emotional, action-packed narrative that keeps you engaged from start to finish.

1. Game Length and Scope
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 (KCD2) is set to be significantly larger than its predecessor, with an estimated playtime of 80-100 hours. This duration can extend further for players who explore side quests and optional activities​.

2. Reputation System
Your actions in KCD2 will shape how NPCs perceive you. If you frequently engage in theft, NPCs will become wary, altering their interactions and even affecting Henry’s decision-making at both micro and macro levels.

3. Combat Enhancements
The game refines its first-person melee combat, making it more responsive and intuitive. Weapons now have distinct fighting styles; for example, swords and maces handle differently. Additionally, crossbows and early firearms have been introduced, expanding ranged combat options​.

4. Survival Elements
Basic survival mechanics return, requiring players to eat and sleep regularly. If Henry sleeps in the wrong place, he may be woken up or even attacked. This adds a layer of realism to the medieval world​.

5. Alchemy & Crafting
Henry, being a blacksmith, will also have access to alchemy, allowing players to craft potions using gathered ingredients. The saving potion mechanic from the first game is also making a return​.

6. Performance & Graphics Modes
KCD2 offers different performance options depending on the platform:

• PS5 & Xbox Series X: Performance Mode (1440p at 60 FPS) and Fidelity Mode (4K at 30 FPS).
• Xbox Series S: 1080p at 30 FPS.
• PS5 Pro: A special Pro Mode (4K at 60 FPS using PSSR upscaling)

7. PC Requirements
The game demands powerful hardware, especially for higher settings:

• Minimum (1080p, 30 FPS): GTX 1060 / RX 580, i5-8400 / Ryzen 5 2600, 16GB RAM.
• Recommended (1440p, 60 FPS): RTX 3060 Ti / RX 6700 XT, i5-13600K / Ryzen 5 7600X, 24GB RAM.

• Ultra Settings: Even higher hardware requirements

Enhanced Combat – Tough But Rewarding

If you found Kingdom Come: Deliverance’s combat system both brutal and thrilling, you’ll be happy to know it’s been refined for the sequel. Instead of five directional attack inputs, you now have four, making combat feel smoother and more responsive while maintaining its depth. Fights are still challenging, requiring smart timing, blocks, and counters—but now they’re even more fun.

A More Realistic World – Actions Have Consequences

Crime and punishment are more intricate this time around. Steal something? Don’t expect to get away easily. NPCs react more intelligently to suspicious behavior, and if you’re caught committing crimes too often, you could even face execution! The world feels more alive, and every action matters.

The Return of Mutt – Your Loyal Canine Companion

Animal lovers, rejoice! Henry’s trusty dog, Mutt, is back, and he’s more than just a cute sidekick. You can train him using the Houndmaster skill, making him useful for tracking, alerting you to enemies, and even keeping you warm during cold nights in the wilderness.

Why You Should Be Excited

Whether you’re a veteran of the first game or new to the series, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II offers an unparalleled medieval experience. With a refined combat system, better AI, and a gripping narrative, it promises to be one of 2025’s biggest RPGs​.
