Overview

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a 2025 action role-playing game developed by Warhorse Studios and published by Deep Silver. The second entry in the Kingdom Come series and the sequel to Kingdom Come: Deliverance (2018), the game was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 4 February 2025. The game received generally favorable reviews from critics and sold more than 6 million copies by June 2026. A Nintendo Switch 2 version is scheduled to release in 2027.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is an open-world action role-playing game in which the protagonist is controlled from a first-person perspective. The game world is twice as large as that of Kingdom Come: Deliverance; whereas the latter features a single connected world, the former encompasses two larger, freely explorable areas.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II takes place in 1403 in the Kingdom of Bohemia, then part of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown and of the Holy Roman Empire, in what is now the Czech Republic. It features both the cultural landscape of Bohemian Paradise, and the city of Kutná Hora and its surroundings. The game reflects Kutná Hora's status in the late Middle Ages as the second-largest city in Bohemia after Prague, and one of the richest economic centers in the country due to silver mining and coinage.

Development on Kingdom Come: Deliverance II began in July 2019, following the release of Kingdom Come: Deliverance and its downloadable content. While Warhorse Studios had 131 employees in 2019, it had grown to around 250 people by spring 2024 at the latest. Warhorse Studios wanted Kingdom Come: Deliverance II to be the game that Kingdom Come: Deliverance was supposed to be with their improved resources and experience. The game uses a heavily-customized version of the CryEngine, with music composed by Czech composers Jan Valta and Adam Sporka. The expertise of various historians, universities and museums was again drawn on to represent a "realistic, immersive and believable medieval world".

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II received "Generally favorable reviews" reviews from critics, on the review aggregator website Metacritic. OpenCritic reported that 95% of critics recommended the game. Critics praised Kingdom Come: Deliverance II for its immersive open-world, role-playing game mechanics, and story.
