Henry’s story begins in Bohemia in the early 15th century. King Wenceslaus IV holds the throne after the death of King Charles IV, who was also the Holy Roman Emperor. However, King Wenceslaus was known as “Idle” and his half-brother, King Sigismund of Hungary, raids King Wenceslaus’s land.
This leads to an attack on Henry’s village, which ultimately ends in the death of Henry’s parents and starts his quest for justice. While pursuing this justice, Henry becomes involved in the effort to restore Bohemia’s rightful king by joining the service of Lord Radzig Kobyla. Lord Radzig Kobyla leads a resistance against King Sigismund’s invasion.
From there, the game branches into different quests and storylines, giving the player a great deal of freedom and choice as they progress. Events will unfold as Henry grows more skilled and takes a larger place in world events. Regardless of how players proceed, the world gives an incredible immersion into medieval life.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 takes place directly after the ending of Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Players can expect a larger world and even more features. Warhorse Studios has shared a roadmap detailing post-launch content in 2025. It has also revealed an extensive wardrobe awaits Henry in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is planned to launch on February 4th, and Warhorse Studios has shown its confidence in the highly-anticipated sequel by moving up its release date and sending out early review copies. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 features different versions for pre-order and availability at launch. These include the standard edition for $69.99, the Gold Edition for $89.99, and a limited Collector’s Edition for $199.99.
