This year, more than six years after the critically acclaimed first medieval role-playing game, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will be released. The next game will carry on the story of its protagonist, Henry, a blacksmith’s son who sought revenge after his family was murdered and his hometown was destroyed in the first game.
Henry will play a much bigger role in Kuttenberg politics in the sequel, but the scope of the first game is expected to grow significantly.
Originally financed by crowdfunding on Warhorse Studios’ website or Kickstarter, the first Kingdom Come: Deliverance advertised itself as “A different kind of RPG” since it placed a greater emphasis on historical authenticity than previous medieval-set games did on fantasy.
This was clearly well-liked because, in total, 35,384 backers gave £1,106,371, much exceeding the initial £300,000 request.
Certain Players Will Get Free Access To Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Redditor Interinactive posted a picture of an email they received that they will be getting a free copy of the upcoming sequel on their preferred platform on the r/pcgaming subreddit. This is because of their crowdfunding backer level for the first game, as the community manager for Warhorse Studios, also known on Reddit as Dr. Fusselpulli, disclosed. It has to do with the “Act 2” reward for specific pledges.
For Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Warhorse Studios abandoned the “Acts” system because the base game ended up being far longer than the 20 hours that were initially planned, with the main campaign clocking in at about 41 hours, and completionists estimating a runtime of 130 hours.
In spite of this, Dr. Fusselpulli says the developers think Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is almost exactly what “Act 2” was originally promised to backers back in 2014.
Which Tiers Qualify for a Complimentary Copy of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
Only backers at higher tiers are qualified to receive a complimentary copy of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. “DUKE” is the lowest eligible backer level; it committed $200 for Act 2 and the Collector’s edition of the original game.
It’s wonderful to see that Warhorse Studios is fulfilling a pledge they made during the crowdfunding and hasn’t forgotten those who supported its role-playing game series even after ten years. It’s common for projects to expand beyond the scope of their initial crowdfunding goals, and it appears that this was the case with the first game as well.
However, free copies of even larger titles, like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, ought to be a welcome perk for those who initially made higher pledges.
