Developer Warhorse Studios has officially announced the unveiling of a new game on April 18, and speculations point to it being Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Fans have long awaited a follow-up to the original game, and it appears that the wait may soon be over.
The first installment of Kingdom Come received high praise for its emphasis on realism, immersing players in 15th-century Bohemia as they embarked on Henry's captivating quests and navigated the game's challenging survival elements. While the initial release of Kingdom Come faced some bugs resulting in mixed reviews from critics, it garnered a predominantly positive response from players, boasting a 'Very Positive' rating on Steam and an 8.1 user score on Metacritic. Over time, Warhorse Studios diligently addressed most of the issues, culminating in a release across major platforms, including a launch on the Switch in March.
The highly anticipated sequel to Kingdom Come: Deliverance may not be shrouded in mystery for much longer, as insider Tom Henderson has confidently claimed that the upcoming reveal by Warhorse Studios will indeed be Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. The unveiling is scheduled for Thursday, April 18, at 2 p.m. EST and will be live-streamed on Twitch and YouTube. While the specifics of the showcase remain undisclosed, whether it will showcase gameplay or offer a brief teaser, given the potential distant release date of the game, a teaser seems more plausible. However, this is mere speculation at this juncture.
