This title was developed by Warhorse Studios, released on February 4, 2025, and has gained an immense number of concurrent players, creating skyrocketing records on Steam.
Just within the first days, it made impressive sales, and even before the launch, the pre-order feature did a favor to the company, got enough orders, and eventually made its place on Steam’s best-seller charts.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is an RPG that offers medieval life gameplay in the open world with everything sitting right with the environment, like events, architecture, and more. It also involves the development of characters and offers choices and consequences-based games.
