KCD is probably the most immersive game I've ever played. I've finished it three times and loved each go round. Can't say how much I look forward to KCD 2.
I'm playing it now for the first time, since I was able to get a deal on it a couple months ago when this was announced. I wish I'd gambled on it at full price years ago. I have a feeling ill continue playing kcd1 even well after kcd2 is released. Also, I'm definitely going to get kcd2 LAUNCH DAY. I don't care if it's a broken mess, either. I'm very confident that this will revolutionize the genre
The thing here is, is that you actually get the impression that this game was made by real people who want to make games about characters they love, instead whatever flavour-of-the-month live service game-type looks the most profitable.

AC used to be historically accurate but obviously they don't care about that anymore. At least with KCD we know it'll be 100% faithful to history (even if they take a few liberties).
That stinger with Sir Hans Capon singing is so fun. I've rewatched this entire thing, probably 7 or 8 times now, just because I wanted to hear him singing about Henry.
I love how this series is not dark, its colorful and bright, like real life actually is!! No blue filter. Warhorse knows what they are doing and how to portray a real historical world.
well, i think you right but, the graphics well.... i dont know, maybe im a duche but, i expect something little diferent, not about the game feeling itself, but the graphics has a minimal diference, idont know, im suspect to say this, but i know ll be a amazing game..
From Saudi Arabia, this is the most immersive game i’ve ever played, it really made me love Europe and its history and culture, can’t wait for your masterpiece Kingdom Come Deliverance II ❤️
Europe has always contained many nations with their own cultures, languages and historic roots. Although there were similarities, such as Christianity and feudal society with kings and knights etc. But this game really does a great job portraying the uniqueness of Czech culture back in the days of Bohemia and Moravia being two separate states. I'm glad you enjoyed the first one so much, we have that in common, my friend :)
@@Thedennati yeah it’s a historical continent, exploring different cultures what gives life its meaning, through media, arts, history, and games thanks for sharing the good energy buddy
As an American person who loves this game and middle eastern/Islamic culture I wish there was a game that could create this level of immersion set in a medieval middle eastern world. It would be epic aswell
@@b.l.o.o.m6614 u hit my soft spot bro, since MENA region was misrepresented in its whole history i rly wish that people get into Arabic culture real Arabic culture and could distinguish between Islamic culture and Arabic because they are different but they integrated at some point in history, Arabic poem, food, heroes all of them don’t have a page in the modern media because of how backward most of the MENA countries, AC mirage really did a good job in portraying the landscape of old Baghdad which i’m glad they did it so good, i can talk about the history of MENA region non stop for days, i hope we see a game represents the Arabian Peninsula, thanks m8 for sharing your interest in our history ❤️
Yes, and this game has potential to be GOTY. The first one was really good, but just way too hard and realistic. Hopefully they get rid of that in this game
@@behemothfan1990 it’s really not, and a lot of people quit the game (me included) because of it. Unnecessary hard lockpicking minigames and missing quests when you’re in jail are really not part of any appeal tbh
@@Soradakanizat I agree with you that the lockpicking was bollocks, and to be fair there are only a few timed quests in the game but it should have been made more clear when you were on a timer. I still think the challenge made it all the greater when you finally turn into a demigod by the end of the game though
They are a private company afterall, and as Vavra said, they already stored away the needed capital. So no benefit in them extending the marketing process. It's the old school model: good, finished product for cold, hard cash. It looks like they will be reusing some assets , but Im perfect fine with that in the case of KCD. The product is faaar from redundant. In the case of KCD Im excited for "more of the same".
Seems like Warhorse Studios put more passion and effort into just the reveal trailer than many studios put into their games. This is a rare game nowadays that I eagerly wait!
Yeah, because the ending of the trailer didn't feature the typical 'Pre-order now and gain early access to so-and-so plus unlock exclusive content available if you purchase the Stinky Mega Butt Edition'.
Thank you Warhorse for not compromising your integrity, and giving us your dream product. When Henry revealed himself on the horse in the intro, I got chills remembering all the fun I had with the first game. Looking forward!
I’m so with you man. To take it a step further, I’d even prefer hearing nothing and then getting an announcement a week before it drops. I assume it’s corporate and they have a “marketing strategy” but I’ve yet to see one pay off. It’s always delayed and it’s never what they promised 4 years prior when they reveal trailer came out at E3. We’d rather know nothing and be told about something that’s right around the corner instead of this absurd years long build up campaign
They made the best decision, they didnt keep teasing us like hell. They made a perfect game that could speak for itself, promesed to improve and make what they said they couldn't previously and made there announcement when there know they could deliver a good product .
This was my first thought as well. Also, the way they released an extended game reveal, instead of having a 30 second trailer with zero gameplay. Warhorse studio is the real deal!
Man I was SO worried this was going to be like an Elder Scrolls 6 announcement: "After 10 long years we are pleased to announce we at Bethesda have started work on the Elder Scrolls 6. Stay tuned for updates over the next decade :)"
To be honest they didn't even needed to improve the graphics because the old didnt even run in modern systems, i am glad they are working on gameplay and not the graphical aspect like other companies are doing......Lets hope this time we wont need a supercomputer to play this and there will be larger battles which was lacking in the previous game.....
@@bmqww223 Yes, instead of graphics, they've concentrated on more important things this time, like being able to pet dogs and hear NPCs make comments when you go streaking naked through town. 👍 Edit: Since someone misunderstood, this was a joke, not a complaint about the graphics.
@@bmqww223 Didn’t run on modern systems? It did. And yeah I agree graphics aren’t everything but KCD had so much more going for it than just graphics, the way you talk makes it seem like the game was a disappointment when it’s the opposite
I've had an awful week. From getting covid to my grandma passing its been rough. I just found out about kcd2 and its brought me much needed joy. Thank you War Horse!
@@kingnova6408tbh KCD teaches you alot of life lessons plus Henry being a nobody weak softy in the beginning to what his full potential is, definitely inspiring.
@@valentinotto88no buddy hans became who he was supposed to be in the end of the game remember, he lead some men to chase down toth for example and saved feyfairs life and the seige expert while waiting for some backup to arrive. He character arc was arguably better than henrys, but its cool henry is also technically a noble, for me hans never having any dialogue recognising it sucked lmao, hopefully in 2.
@@Slim2Floactually towards the end of kcd1, when both henry and hans is travelling to deliver a message hans mentioned to henry that it is better for him to be friends with a noble's bastard than a commoner blacksmith
Probably not in this one, I’d imagine we defeat Istvan Toth and possibly Markvart Von Aulitz, along with regaining the sword… Further I’d speculate that there will be a third game centered around the Hussite Wars, in which we will finally defeat Sigismund…
@@Logan4201 Again. I wouldn't be so sure with defeating Sigismund, according to history. There are some battles lost on his side but he will get, what he aimed for eventually. True, for a brief moment though.
@@blabla260 True, yet I doubt certain historical events will occur, or at the least occur in the same manner as which they did in our history.(mainly thinking about Sir Radzig’s death) As this is a historical fiction, I could see them potentially allowing us to change the history of the Hussite Wars… Maybe they open up the choices to allow us to side with either the Taborites or the Ultraquists, or maybe even side with the Catholics along with Hans Capon…
“Didn’t have enough resources and experience” for the first game to be what they dreamed of. Sir it is still one of my all time favorite games. I can’t wait to see what they manage to pull off this time around.
@@RoBert-on1kb It was definitely lacking on the quality side, but despite that it was one of the most enjoyable, memorable and immersive games I've played. Unpopular opinion maybe, but I especially enjoyed the bit where you pretend to be a monk for a few days and genuinely can't leave for a while.
I'm not going to lie this announcement and how it was done from the start to the trailer to The Little deep dive afterwards is probably the best I have ever seen an announcement of a game. Got me so hype
I don't know if Warhorse realizes it or not, but that introduction of the cast IRL made many people quite emotional. Hearing their voices and seeing their faces. It was like opening up a great, old book of tales from the middle ages. I haven't felt that happy in a long time.
It really was.. 1,000,000 views in not even 24Hrs. This should be a wake up call to the gaming industry that you CAN invest into a brilliant 1P game and make a s*** ton of money without exploiting through pay to play. THIS is how you obtain a DIE HARD fan base.
This wasn't just a trailer, this was an event. Haven't been excited for a game in a long time, this has definitely changed that. Loved KCD, so I can't wait.
I'm an armchair historian & gamer in my 6th decade who loved KCD1, I am eagerly awaiting KCD2. As a hippy, I loved the "whimsy" of the psychedelic trip in the 1st game as well as the amazing naturalistic graphics & necessity to actually learn fighting skills. Kudos to you all for creating such an amazing gaming genre. 👏
It seems he will be knighted in the second game. Given hes radzig illigitemate son. Probably not gonna inherit his titles. But maybe create his own lineage. Who knows?. Maybe he even join the hussites decade later....
Imagine what they can do now with more resources, experience etc. I think this will be comparable to the jump from Witcher 2 to Witcher 3. I loved both but 3 was a huge step up from 2.
Only the bugs were annoying and the ps3 type animations in the characters. Everything else was perfect. Hell, even the bugs had it's charm in the long run.
I'm a bavarian guy near the Czech border. Our Czech neighbors are very friendly and polite people. I am extremely pleased to be able to experience this historic game in an environment very similar to my homeland.
I literally live near Kuttenberg in village called Jakub - I hope there will be church of St. Jacob in game. Its only like four kilometers from the city.
I count the days. The first one seemed to me an unforgettable trip. As a Spaniard I thank you for dubbing the game. A lot of castle and history we have in our homeland to feel identified.
Theres a german critc called David Hain, who once said: "Kingdom Come Deliverance really lets you dive into how it feels to be a peseant in Bohemia in the late medival times. Only question is: Who wants that?" We want that David. All of us. Edit: He played a Demo at E3 before, not the whole game.
If being a peasant is just picking flowers, shooting a few deer and boars and then living in a tavern with very affordable healthcare and free martial arts classes then that's easily better than my life right now
"KCD II will be released by the end of this year" is gonna be the hardest line in history if it actually happens. Take your time, Warhorse! The first game was an insane experience, no doubt it's sequel will be too.
To be honest, I am OK with postponement of release (of any game), if the developers believe it is necessary. Take your time Warhorse, it will be definitely a damn good ride.
Well with "limited ressources" for the first game, as the creative director says in the video, they managed to create my favourite open world RPG of all time. A game which is a good middle ground between complex and fun mechanics, full of good gameplay ideas a big studio wouldn't have the balls to try out of fear of not touching a wide enough public, a game which actually trusts the player to be clever enough to solve things out on his own, I haven't had this feeling of unexpected and actually going on an adventure in another open world RPG since 2018. Really happy for these guys, especially since they can show the world their country's history, which is not widely known. As a french guy, I'm happy to learn more about Bohemia and I trust this game will be excellent.
Yeah honestly it’s good too hear some developers can be realistic with their limitations AND be right that the proof of concept worked. Really looking forward to seeing what they’ve done!
@@GoldGune Exactly, while the technical side had some (understandable) issues considering the small team working on it, the game design/artistic direction/writing were mostly spot on for me, and those don't require huge teams, just good ideas.
It’s my favorite rpg as well. The attention to detail and realism are unparalleled. Skyrim has more replayability but KCD makes you appreciate every step of the journey much more
The fact that they created such a perfectly thought through and detailed game in KCD1 and the guy still goes "well it was supposed to be much more but we didn't have the capacity" just absolutely blows my mind.
Daniel Vávra is a visionalist. He lost the 'race' with Rockstar's GTA3 when he was directing development of original old Mafia 1 and he is very charismatic and goal-seeking person, even if some of his views and ways of presenting himself might strike weird. He is truly a person in the right place, he loves games and I know of no project he was part of that didn't turned out great.
Kingdom Come Deliverance wasn't just a game for me - it was an experience. I loved it so much that I vacationed in the Czech Republic right after playing it and I felt like a child coming to Disney World for the first time. I am screaming with hype for this sequel!!!
Jesus! This year will go down in history as one of the best years of gaming. Quality gaming that isn't just being paddled by marketing and hype. Palworld, Helldivers 2 and now this. And many more I hope. I really hope Warhorse announced this after ironing out performance issues unlike the first game.
@@thelandsknecht Hi fi rush absolutely deserves to be mentioned, it was game of the year in my books until BD3 came out. It was probably the most polished game to come out in 2023. There was also hogwarts legacy and Tears of the Kingdom. 2023 was actually a really good year in gaming. I get it you are hyped for KCD2, don't worry so am I.
What's even better is how much the AAA industry is eating ass. Trillion dollar market caps can't touch the studios who actually care about their craft. We're heading for an industry crash unlike seen since the 80's and I'm all in for it when I have these sorts of games to play. The world is healing.
@@andypae Lol what are you talking about, BG3 is receiving rave reviews and massive sales and Larian is bigger than Bethesda is and dropped enough money on BG3 to make it like top 10 most expensive games, It's a AAA studio and a AAA game by literally any definition. Not to mention Elden Ring Other AAA studios are eating big on microtransactions and cash shop purchases. Warhorse itself is scarely a cute little indie studio either. It's naive af to think that just because a studio is small they "care" and because they're big they can't, that's how you get taken for a ride. There will be no crash, nothing has changed. Games fail, games succeed, just don't fool yourself into thinking your defending a little mom and pop shop lmao
From 10 people to 250 people in less then 10 years. These guys took a chance and we are very lucky they did. WHS, you sure are a special studio and we are so grateful to be able to play your games. Thank you,
I mean they made a lot of fucking money, AND found investors. Being small would be a shitty idea. I think by the end of making the first game they already weren't just the 10 of them, but still... I want to see what thrse 250 people are capable of
@@volkskrieg8735 Well, that's completely fair of course. However, when you look at the passion Remedy has for their games, even these days, it's clear than they are one of the few studios left with a real soul. Even if you don't like the style of their games, you have to admire their passion and determination. Obviously Warhorse is another one of those studios. 2 studios that havent lost touch with their fanbases, and I love them for it
@@WikterRor2807 They sold about 5.5 million units (2023 numbers). Many units were purchased on sales I bet. Right now its also on sale on Steam for example (the whole game+dlcs for about 8 euros. They made about 3 million sales early on, but we need to take prices with less strong economies into account too. They definitely covered their cost of the first game and obviusly grew. I hope they can make a fair profit on KCD2. I really enjoyed KCD despite not being and rpg lover. The usual fantasy stuff doesnt appeal to me as strong as something like KCD achieved.
How incredibly thankful I am for this man who stood up unapologetically to the "journalists" complaining about diversity and delivered us a masterpiece of an homage to European history and culture that was the first game. Now we'll be blessed with a deeper and richer continuation of that. Thank you Daniel Vavra!
I remember supporting kcd1 back in its kickstarter days. None of my friends thought it would live up to the hype. So happy to see how far things have come.
BRO I REMEMBER THE KICKSTARTER I FORGOT THAT THING I shared it and then remembered seeing that it released, and playing it at lunch... On console... On a first Gen PS4... I rated it 10/10, even with half the faces melting off lmao
This was the only thing I ever kickstarted, I'll never regret it. I remember being happy even when it was a technical demo. This is a company I will always have faith in, based on their creation and follow-through.
Seriously though! They made an absolutely spectacular game with barely any of the resources they have now. KCD will always be my favourite game of all time so I can't even comprehend how good KCD 2 is going to be!
TES6 will suck big D, remember my words xD Its going to be on the same engine that remembers Morrowind or oblivion releases, so there will be black screen whenever u enter anything. and since Bethesda is still in 2014, they might reuse most skyrim animations cuz why not lol
@@ArminiusSage Exactly For me the first KCD was literally like a realized form of what Oblivion was like for me as a kid, minus the fantasy stuff, but I had been missing a world that I could lose myself in that didn’t revolve around me, but that I was a part of Warhorse is a team of legends for setting out to, and succeeding tremendously, at capturing essences of RPGs that haven’t been there for over a decade now
Elder Scrolls 6 is gonna be complete trash. Bethesda is a garbage developer at this point. The last good game was Skyrim and even that was a step back in a lot of ways from previous games.
This is how you announce a game. A glimpse of the story mixed with actual gameplay footage. Love the passion shown from Tom Mackay and the other actor and all the devs involved. Well done guys!
@@janvalta7752Jan Valta, sir is there any way to listen to this “Santa Barbara” soundtrack separately? I’m absolutely mesmerized by the track I’ve been rewatching that same part over and over again. Please release it as a single before the games release I think it would be absolutely amazing for the games marketing. I for myself can promise to give you 5 thousand views. 😁
The first game was incredible for many, many reasons but what really set it apart was the incredibly emotional story. I love that henry always thought of his loved ones, even though they're gone. The scenes at the end were so emotional. Beautiful game.
As an European i hold KCD very dear to my hearth, its my personal fav game ever, i cannot remember the last time i felt this childlike joy and ear to ear smile while watching about an upcoming game. Thank you Warhorse for continueing Henry's journey.
As an American, I hold KCD very dear to my heart(I don’t have a hearth). It is quite easily one of my absolute favorite games ever. I can count on one hand the total number of games that immersed me to the level that this game did.
The first game is absolutely amazing. I am in love with it. Henry’s well written and I like you can mold Henry into whatever you want him to be: makes me feel I like truly achieved something.
It is such a great time for video games right now. We've seen small developers create awesome games like Lethal Company and Helldivers 2 and we Medieval fans get Manor Lords in a few days and then as the cherry on the cake KCD 2 at the end of the year
Games today only care about one thing fast paced dopamine hits. KDC is one of those rare gems where you actually stop and smell the roses (or pick up 100 of them for that extra strength point).
Charles IV, King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor, had a long and successful reign. The Empire he ruled from Prague expanded, and his subjects lived in peace and prosperity. When he died, the whole Empire mourned. More than 7,000 people accompanied him on his last procession. The heir to the throne of the flourishing Empire was Charles' son, Wenceslas IV, whose father had prepared him for this moment all his life. But Wenceslas did not take after his father. He neglected affairs of state for more frivolous pursuits. He even failed to turn up for his own coronation as Emperor, which did little to endear him to the Pope. Wenceslas "the Idle" did not impress the Imperial nobility either. His difficulties mounted until the nobles, exasperated by the inaction of their ruler, turned for help to his half-brother, King Sigismund of Hungary. Sigismund decided on a radical solution. He kidnapped the King to force him to abdicate, then took advantage of the ensuing disorder to gain greater power for himself. He invaded Bohemia with a massive army and began pillaging the territories of the King's allies. It is here that my story begins...
Seeing Henry again feels like seeing an old friend. I can't wait. KCD had so much going for it: great RPG elements, great combat, gorgeous environments. Warhorse deserved their flowers. KCD2 will be a game of the year contender if they bring the same great foundations with some more money and polish. I still can't get over the sword play being so good. The realism and depth puts other RPGs to shame. I really hope there's a series of challenging 1v1 duels you can participate in around the map. I'd like to see more duels in the wild, like optional boss fights you could seek out for coin or reputation, or maybe multiple city tournaments like the Rattay tourney.
As a crowdfunder of KCD1... the announcement of the sequel yesterday near brought tears to my eyes. I am so excited for this and I am on pins and needles waiting on its release! Thank you Warhorse for being a studio who creates their game and then announces it within the same calendar year of release!
It's evident a lot of hard work and dedication has gone into making an even more immersive and epic medieval RPG. Can't wait to dive back into Henry's story and explore this vibrant world.
From someone who hardly games anymore (work, lot of responsibilities, other hobbies, health priorities) I've only ever heard of the Kingdom Come series from my brother who is an avid gamer. Randomly happened upon this video today and just wanted to say the song 11:27 - 13:13 singlehandedly convinced me to buy KCD so I can play through it on my own time and then buy KCD2 afterwards. I know fidelity of graphics, robust story, and gameplay/level of immersion is important in a great game, but to me a rich soundtrack can really elevate a great game to an incredible one.... and if this one song giving me hardcore goosebumps is an indication of what's in store, then I can't wait.... beautiful work, thanks guys.
Man I really hope they don't get forced to release early / broken for autumn season to make investors happy, since they are not independent anymore and Embracer is known to fire staff if something doesn't work right away. Warhorse is really going all-in with this. May the power of Christ protect this project at all costs.
Beyond excited. I'll never forget the first time I traveled to Neuhof. I got lost trying to find the inn as night was approaching. No player icon on the map. Hungry. Vision getting blurry from exhaustion. And that beautiful soundtrack playing as I wandered across the moonlit fields. It was the first time I'd ever truly been lost in a game.
Soon as I could, I would ride out at night and look for bandits. Sneak up behind them and take all their gear. I was a very wealthy man before I even left the first town lol
@@WikterRor2807 there is only one mode. it could also happen that you would stumble through the wilderness and being too weak and would bleed to death from falling a little and wearing too heavy armour.
@@WikterRor2807 Yeah. You have to really check for shrines and such to know where you are. And after a time you will memorise the routes. Its not that hard actually and is fun
I have seen this game reveal about twenty Times now and i still crack up at that Moment where Tom mcCay looks directly in the camera and with the lightning in his face and the music swelling to the climax says those magical words :" But now we can finally Show you Kingdom Come: Deliverance two!" and how he swallows the Emotion and genuine Joy right after that and the happy smile on his face gets me every time! Great Job and best wishes to the entire Team!
That makes sense why it was very jank no matter it was fun I hope they improve on the second one Unlike Dragon's Dogma did for Dragon's Dogma 2 with it's gameplay don't get me wrong there was new stuff but alot of the flaws felt like they transferred over instead of patching.
are we allowed to make our own character or are we playing as Henry again? Tbh I'd rather play as myself, but theres no good rpg for that besides elden ring or skyrim
You know your game is special when everyone wants to relive or re-experience what it was like being a bloody nobody during medieval Bohemia. Where a single trebuchet was this epic thing of war engineering that felt cool to witness instead of something you poop out 25 of to take a nondescript city in any strategy game.
@@sharptakes1662 Honestly I'm glad the game stuck to its realism instead of continuing the hype train that is the final act. Running around to find the guy to help build the trebuchet then waiting in game days was cool.
@@kj34sdf4 Well, that's the limits of video game realism. Unless you tout the game to be hard-core realism, having you redo everything if you die once makes for a pretty crap RPG game.
I live in PL near the Czech border. I have visited Kutná Hora, Trosky Castle, Bohemian Paradise many times. I believe the game creators made an excellent choice selecting locations for the second part of the game. I can't wait!
one thing the first game lacked was a human companion. it would be sick as fuck if at the end of the game hans knights you and you both can go around doing side quests n stuff
What a refreshingly classy presentation. It seems like too often that industry folks are trying to be overly relatable and undercut the weight of their event. But at risk of being cringy, these folks made it clear how special this game is to them. Much respect.

That stinger with Sir Hans Capon singing is so fun. I've rewatched this entire thing, probably 7 or 8 times now, just because I wanted to hear him singing about Henry.
The most beautiful "give a fuck" there has ever been
I love the singing att the start

Wait, is the game set in Newcastle?
@@djinnxx7050 No, first map is Kuttenberg, and the second map is Bohemia Paradise around "Trosky" Castle, both in Czechia.
I love how this series is not dark, its colorful and bright, like real life actually is!! No blue filter. Warhorse knows what they are doing and how to portray a real historical world.
kingdom come deliverance is the greatest medieval game ever made thus far and the greatest rpg game ever made. end of story.
I learned a lot about medieval Europe by reading those in game texts.
Honestly some of my favourite memories of the first game are just walking through a meadow on a nice sunny day
Exactly! not using the stereotype of "dark ages".
well, i think you right but, the graphics well.... i dont know, maybe im a duche but, i expect something little diferent, not about the game feeling itself, but the graphics has a minimal diference, idont know, im suspect to say this, but i know ll be a amazing game..

Same dude, i am so excited for this game! Now that they’ve got even more resources, funding and people it’ll be even better than the first!
if this video made your entire year then you need to rethink your life boy
From Saudi Arabia, this is the most immersive game i’ve ever played, it really made me love Europe and its history and culture, can’t wait for your masterpiece Kingdom Come Deliverance II ❤️
Europe has always contained many nations with their own cultures, languages and historic roots. Although there were similarities, such as Christianity and feudal society with kings and knights etc. But this game really does a great job portraying the uniqueness of Czech culture back in the days of Bohemia and Moravia being two separate states.
I'm glad you enjoyed the first one so much, we have that in common, my friend :)
@@Thedennati yeah it’s a historical continent, exploring different cultures what gives life its meaning, through media, arts, history, and games thanks for sharing the good energy buddy
As an American person who loves this game and middle eastern/Islamic culture I wish there was a game that could create this level of immersion set in a medieval middle eastern world. It would be epic aswell
@@b.l.o.o.m6614 u hit my soft spot bro, since MENA region was misrepresented in its whole history i rly wish that people get into Arabic culture real Arabic culture and could distinguish between Islamic culture and Arabic because they are different but they integrated at some point in history, Arabic poem, food, heroes all of them don’t have a page in the modern media because of how backward most of the MENA countries, AC mirage really did a good job in portraying the landscape of old Baghdad which i’m glad they did it so good, i can talk about the history of MENA region non stop for days, i hope we see a game represents the Arabian Peninsula, thanks m8 for sharing your interest in our history ❤️

It's beautifully shot. The presentation is incredibly stunning.
Yes, and this game has potential to be GOTY. The first one was really good, but just way too hard and realistic. Hopefully they get rid of that in this game
@@Soradakanizat Absolutely not, that's part of the appeal
@@behemothfan1990 it’s really not, and a lot of people quit the game (me included) because of it. Unnecessary hard lockpicking minigames and missing quests when you’re in jail are really not part of any appeal tbh
@@Soradakanizat I agree with you that the lockpicking was bollocks, and to be fair there are only a few timed quests in the game but it should have been made more clear when you were on a timer.
I still think the challenge made it all the greater when you finally turn into a demigod by the end of the game though
Wasn't expecting the director to just casually drop that the game was releasing by the end of the year. Thanks Warhorse
"Real G's move in silence like lasagna"
Hopefully no delays!
Wait hold up this year?
Pardon me I’m raising a flagpole.
That was really epic indeed!
They are a private company afterall, and as Vavra said, they already stored away the needed capital. So no benefit in them extending the marketing process. It's the old school model: good, finished product for cold, hard cash.
It looks like they will be reusing some assets , but Im perfect fine with that in the case of KCD. The product is faaar from redundant. In the case of KCD Im excited for "more of the same".
Seems like Warhorse Studios put more passion and effort into just the reveal trailer than many studios put into their games. This is a rare game nowadays that I eagerly wait!
difference between a company presenting their new cashgrab and a company that actually loves their product.
@@ltyarv8071ill preorder , based devs , delivered oncthe game and will do so again.
Yeah, because the ending of the trailer didn't feature the typical 'Pre-order now and gain early access to so-and-so plus unlock exclusive content available if you purchase the Stinky Mega Butt Edition'.
@@KianoUyMOOP Even if it would have, I would still pre-order lol.
Kiitos paljon 😊
Thank you Warhorse for not compromising your integrity, and giving us your dream product. When Henry revealed himself on the horse in the intro, I got chills remembering all the fun I had with the first game. Looking forward!
This is EXACTLY what every publishers should do. Wait for the game to be 100% ready for launch, and THEN announce it. Props to you guys !
this...not just empty promises like cyberpunk
@tomasistok7229 well, at least they never gave up on it, but yea wow, was that a disastrous launch
Maybe not 100%, all these projects have a lot of bugs in release, which will be fixed in moths and years
yeah; but lots of publishers do not want to wait 6 years for a game. so they push them to make them in 2 years LOL . then support it for 4.
I’m so with you man. To take it a step further, I’d even prefer hearing nothing and then getting an announcement a week before it drops. I assume it’s corporate and they have a “marketing strategy” but I’ve yet to see one pay off. It’s always delayed and it’s never what they promised 4 years prior when they reveal trailer came out at E3. We’d rather know nothing and be told about something that’s right around the corner instead of this absurd years long build up campaign
I'm gonna be the village hobbo that goes around and steals stuff
Going to be a crazy wait...

Crazy to see you here.
Oh hey nano!
This is how you announce a game! Not 3 to 5 years before release, but the release date is for the same year! LET'S GO KCD! LET'S GO WARHORSE STUDIOS!
They made the best decision, they didnt keep teasing us like hell. They made a perfect game that could speak for itself, promesed to improve and make what they said they couldn't previously and made there announcement when there know they could deliver a good product .
This was my first thought as well.
Also, the way they released an extended game reveal, instead of having a 30 second trailer with zero gameplay.
Warhorse studio is the real deal!

2x the game world size, 2x the cutscenes, 2x the prologue length. I'm ready.
To be honest they didn't even needed to improve the graphics because the old didnt even run in modern systems, i am glad they are working on gameplay and not the graphical aspect like other companies are doing......Lets hope this time we wont need a supercomputer to play this and there will be larger battles which was lacking in the previous game.....
We don't need bigger world size
@@bmqww223 Yes, instead of graphics, they've concentrated on more important things this time, like being able to pet dogs and hear NPCs make comments when you go streaking naked through town. 👍
Edit: Since someone misunderstood, this was a joke, not a complaint about the graphics.
@@bmqww223there weren't big battles because the combat was suited for one on one
@@bmqww223 Didn’t run on modern systems? It did. And yeah I agree graphics aren’t everything but KCD had so much more going for it than just graphics, the way you talk makes it seem like the game was a disappointment when it’s the opposite
I've had an awful week. From getting covid to my grandma passing its been rough. I just found out about kcd2 and its brought me much needed joy. Thank you War Horse!
I’m sorry man, it will get better though, at least we will be able to play KCD2 to drown out our sorrows lmao
@@kingnova6408tbh KCD teaches you alot of life lessons plus Henry being a nobody weak softy in the beginning to what his full potential is, definitely inspiring.
Sorry to hear. May she RIP 🙏
Leaning into the Henry + Hans dynamic is absolutely the right move.

But he was killed already in the last game?

WE ARE DEFEATING SIGISMUND WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
History spoilers.... it's a little bit more complicated ;)
Probably not in this one, I’d imagine we defeat Istvan Toth and possibly Markvart Von Aulitz, along with regaining the sword…
Further I’d speculate that there will be a third game centered around the Hussite Wars, in which we will finally defeat Sigismund…
@@Logan4201 Again. I wouldn't be so sure with defeating Sigismund, according to history. There are some battles lost on his side but he will get, what he aimed for eventually. True, for a brief moment though.
@@blabla260 True, yet I doubt certain historical events will occur, or at the least occur in the same manner as which they did in our history.(mainly thinking about Sir Radzig’s death)
As this is a historical fiction, I could see them potentially allowing us to change the history of the Hussite Wars… Maybe they open up the choices to allow us to side with either the Taborites or the Ultraquists, or maybe even side with the Catholics along with Hans Capon…
Maybe not recovering your lords sword and not defeating Sigismund was the real father we made along the way.

As a Hungarian, it was an unforgettable experience when I realised the guys chasing me are speaking my language. Looking forward to the second game!
Love Hungary! Greetings from Scotland 💯
Loved being called a shit wheelbarrow xD
Did you try to explain that you're on their side? :D
What do the cumans say when they chase you? 🤔
God bless the Hungarians. Been to Mátraderecske, Eger, Budapest, Sirok, Recsk. Such a lovely and peaceful country with such a crazy rich history.
“Didn’t have enough resources and experience” for the first game to be what they dreamed of. Sir it is still one of my all time favorite games. I can’t wait to see what they manage to pull off this time around.
Поддерживаю! Плюсы перевешивают минусы. Отличная игра!
Absolutely agree. KDC and Daggerfall are literally my favorite games of all time.
Did the first one have gunpowder as well? Magic?
@@Mephilis78 Oh my god, another Daggerfall enthusiast! Two very fine games indeed.
Yep, stuff like blacksmithing was suppose to be in first game ,but sadly they couldnt make it on time. But its confirmed to be here!
1:46 just like this Kuttenberg scene is the best build-ups in reveal history i have ever seen
"It is forbidden to walk at night in Rattay without at torch..."
*Massacres Rattay later that night*
Even when playing dice at a table in the in, with a torch right above your head...
There are no black people. This game is politically incorrect so IGN and Sweet baby will be mad about that.
What if I turned Rattay into a torch?
I can't be charged if I can't be found
Finally! The industry is starved for quality production like this. Video games made by people who love video games and history. Perfect.
thats not quality
thats passion
quality wise kingdom come 1 was pretty lackluster.
@@RoBert-on1kb It was definitely lacking on the quality side, but despite that it was one of the most enjoyable, memorable and immersive games I've played.
Unpopular opinion maybe, but I especially enjoyed the bit where you pretend to be a monk for a few days and genuinely can't leave for a while.
@@RoBert-on1kb To you. To me and many others it's some of the best times I've had with a video game.
@@RoBert-on1kb you are talking bs
Baldurs Gate 3 was a breath of fresh air, but not quite immersive the way KCD is.
This is what i like to see from the gaming industry. A small company blows up with successes and can now do what they wanted to in the first place
Yes! Reminds me of CD Project Red and Lerian Studios. They were small indie devs and became huge developers. Making legendary games
What, after being bought years ago? Of course they have a budget ya clowns.
@@Stayler17 CDPR and Larian are also self publishing though, Warhorse was bought a while ago.
@@albanier8426 Aw, that sucks. Hope they can still make their type of games without suits interfering
@@Stayler17 I tend to enjoy most things from Deep Silver, but they also had genuine crap like the recent Saints Row under their belt.
I just picked up KCD 1 a few days ago, such an underrated game! And now this!
I'm not going to lie this announcement and how it was done from the start to the trailer to The Little deep dive afterwards is probably the best I have ever seen an announcement of a game. Got me so hype
No joke ❤
That's so true bro
Yes they did a fantastic job!!
SO true. Emotional wildride in a postivie sence!
The orchestra scene is bombastic
I don't know if Warhorse realizes it or not, but that introduction of the cast IRL made many people quite emotional. Hearing their voices and seeing their faces. It was like opening up a great, old book of tales from the middle ages. I haven't felt that happy in a long time.
Having the best bros of Henry and Hans introduce the game was brilliant. They really struck gold with those two characters!
It really was.. 1,000,000 views in not even 24Hrs. This should be a wake up call to the gaming industry that you CAN invest into a brilliant 1P game and make a s*** ton of money without exploiting through pay to play. THIS is how you obtain a DIE HARD fan base.
Henry is the best example of anti-Bethesda character, many people said, you either choose roleplaying or voice acting, but Henry does both
I had no idea the VAs looked the same as ingame.
i lost some tears
This wasn't just a trailer, this was an event. Haven't been excited for a game in a long time, this has definitely changed that. Loved KCD, so I can't wait.
Such a lovely crafted video. So much passion.
I couldn't agree more.
I'm an armchair historian & gamer in my 6th decade who loved KCD1, I am eagerly awaiting KCD2. As a hippy, I loved the "whimsy" of the psychedelic trip in the 1st game as well as the amazing naturalistic graphics & necessity to actually learn fighting skills. Kudos to you all for creating such an amazing gaming genre. 👏
Henry, Bailiff of Pribyslavitz, Master Huntsman of Talmberg, slayer of Hagen Zoul, in the service of Sir Radzig Kobyla,

And he's feeling quite hungry it seems
titles.. titles...
you forgot 1 title. Henry, The serial killer of Skalitz.
It seems he will be knighted in the second game. Given hes radzig illigitemate son. Probably not gonna inherit his titles. But maybe create his own lineage. Who knows?. Maybe he even join the hussites decade later....
@@aetius7139i wonder what the time skip is. Because there are píštalas in the trailer.
Despite what the directors say, the first Kingdom Come: Deliverance was, actually still is, a masterpiece. One of my favorite games so far.
Couldn't agree more, irrespective of the studio size, it was wonderfully impressive
Imagine what they can do now with more resources, experience etc. I think this will be comparable to the jump from Witcher 2 to Witcher 3. I loved both but 3 was a huge step up from 2.
Without a doubt
Only the bugs were annoying and the ps3 type animations in the characters. Everything else was perfect. Hell, even the bugs had it's charm in the long run.
The first one was so underrated, until 2021.
I'm a bavarian guy near the Czech border. Our Czech neighbors are very friendly and polite people. I am extremely pleased to be able to experience this historic game in an environment very similar to my homeland.
I literally live near Kuttenberg in village called Jakub - I hope there will be church of St. Jacob in game. Its only like four kilometers from the city.
If it was around when this game was there’s a good chance it will be.
@@thunderstruck6647 it was there for like 3 centuries before the storyline.
@@matyassiegel1732 That would be so cool to experience
I count the days. The first one seemed to me an unforgettable trip. As a Spaniard I thank you for dubbing the game. A lot of castle and history we have in our homeland to feel identified.
Theres a german critc called David Hain, who once said: "Kingdom Come Deliverance really lets you dive into how it feels to be a peseant in Bohemia in the late medival times. Only question is: Who wants that?"
We want that David. All of us.
Edit: He played a Demo at E3 before, not the whole game.
He obviously didn't play it very far since you can become a full-on knight in plate armour... not exactly a peasant
"It's not the story you tell but how you tell it"
If being a peasant is just picking flowers, shooting a few deer and boars and then living in a tavern with very affordable healthcare and free martial arts classes then that's easily better than my life right now

@@ULTRAOutdoorsman For real lol I'd rather that.
"KCD II will be released by the end of this year" is gonna be the hardest line in history if it actually happens. Take your time, Warhorse! The first game was an insane experience, no doubt it's sequel will be too.
If it's true, it means they have been working on the game since 2019
As a lover of historical games from China, I very much hope that War Horse can bring us good content
They've been taking their time.
To be honest, I am OK with postponement of release (of any game), if the developers believe it is necessary. Take your time Warhorse, it will be definitely a damn good ride.
Exactly, take the time you need, we trust you.
Well with "limited ressources" for the first game, as the creative director says in the video, they managed to create my favourite open world RPG of all time. A game which is a good middle ground between complex and fun mechanics, full of good gameplay ideas a big studio wouldn't have the balls to try out of fear of not touching a wide enough public, a game which actually trusts the player to be clever enough to solve things out on his own, I haven't had this feeling of unexpected and actually going on an adventure in another open world RPG since 2018.
Really happy for these guys, especially since they can show the world their country's history, which is not widely known. As a french guy, I'm happy to learn more about Bohemia and I trust this game will be excellent.
Well said I agree ❤
Yeah honestly it’s good too hear some developers can be realistic with their limitations AND be right that the proof of concept worked. Really looking forward to seeing what they’ve done!
@@GoldGune Exactly, while the technical side had some (understandable) issues considering the small team working on it, the game design/artistic direction/writing were mostly spot on for me, and those don't require huge teams, just good ideas.
calm down
It’s my favorite rpg as well. The attention to detail and realism are unparalleled. Skyrim has more replayability but KCD makes you appreciate every step of the journey much more
I don't care about the new GTA, COD and other "AAA shit", but Kingdom come 2! I'm so hyped!!! I can't wait!
Well GTA will be as always first 2 years a Console exclusive. So PC only Gamers are out for other games.
KCD formula + big budget = showing the games industry how it should be done. Can't wait, and that's the biggest understatement I have ever uttered.
The fact that they created such a perfectly thought through and detailed game in KCD1 and the guy still goes "well it was supposed to be much more but we didn't have the capacity" just absolutely blows my mind.
Daniel Vávra is a visionalist. He lost the 'race' with Rockstar's GTA3 when he was directing development of original old Mafia 1 and he is very charismatic and goal-seeking person, even if some of his views and ways of presenting himself might strike weird. He is truly a person in the right place, he loves games and I know of no project he was part of that didn't turned out great.
hes a god
The first game was not perfectly thought through lol.
There were alot of problems, hopefully the sequel fixes that

@@volkskrieg8735 Well, that's completely fair of course. However, when you look at the passion Remedy has for their games, even these days, it's clear than they are one of the few studios left with a real soul. Even if you don't like the style of their games, you have to admire their passion and determination.
Obviously Warhorse is another one of those studios. 2 studios that havent lost touch with their fanbases, and I love them for it
@@WikterRor2807 They sold about 5.5 million units (2023 numbers). Many units were purchased on sales I bet. Right now its also on sale on Steam for example (the whole game+dlcs for about 8 euros.
They made about 3 million sales early on, but we need to take prices with less strong economies into account too. They definitely covered their cost of the first game and obviusly grew. I hope they can make a fair profit on KCD2. I really enjoyed KCD despite not being and rpg lover. The usual fantasy stuff doesnt appeal to me as strong as something like KCD achieved.
How incredibly thankful I am for this man who stood up unapologetically to the "journalists" complaining about diversity and delivered us a masterpiece of an homage to European history and culture that was the first game. Now we'll be blessed with a deeper and richer continuation of that. Thank you Daniel Vavra!

thank you so much
Seriously though! They made an absolutely spectacular game with barely any of the resources they have now. KCD will always be my favourite game of all time so I can't even comprehend how good KCD 2 is going to be!
KCD deserves all the praises they get I hope this game lives up to the old one and outshines it.

Definitely gonna be more engaging, immersive, fun, and full of life than ES6 if BGS’ recent track record is anything to go by
TES6 will suck big D, remember my words xD
Its going to be on the same engine that remembers Morrowind or oblivion releases, so there will be black screen whenever u enter anything.
and since Bethesda is still in 2014, they might reuse most skyrim animations cuz why not lol
Kcd was my es6, kcd 2 will be my es7. And bethesda’s es6 will be only an echo of what it could of been but ruined by greed.
@@ArminiusSage Exactly
For me the first KCD was literally like a realized form of what Oblivion was like for me as a kid, minus the fantasy stuff, but I had been missing a world that I could lose myself in that didn’t revolve around me, but that I was a part of
Warhorse is a team of legends for setting out to, and succeeding tremendously, at capturing essences of RPGs that haven’t been there for over a decade now
Elder Scrolls 6 is gonna be complete trash. Bethesda is a garbage developer at this point. The last good game was Skyrim and even that was a step back in a lot of ways from previous games.
I love the proud look in Tom McKay´s eyes when he announces KCD II..
This is how you announce a game. A glimpse of the story mixed with actual gameplay footage. Love the passion shown from Tom Mackay and the other actor and all the devs involved. Well done guys!
What an amazing reveal! The orchestra and choir singing in the cathedral.... Oh my... Absolutely mesmerizing
Thank you! 🙂
There are no black people. This game is politically incorrect so IGN and Sweet baby will be mad about that.
@@janvalta7752awesome music mate. Will Daniela be lending her talents to this game too? I loved Jablíčko in Theresa's DLC
@@janvalta7752Jan Valta, sir is there any way to listen to this “Santa Barbara” soundtrack separately? I’m absolutely mesmerized by the track I’ve been rewatching that same part over and over again. Please release it as a single before the games release I think it would be absolutely amazing for the games marketing. I for myself can promise to give you 5 thousand views. 😁
I swear if it's a sequel to KCD, it will be the first game I've ever preordered.
EDIT: I love you Warhorse 🥹
Judging from the clothes in the picture, it probably wont be a medieval game anymore.
@@Vivec-1 We'll see
@@timotejhlava857 Trusted leakers said it's KCD 2, but we'll see indeed.
@@Vivec-1 nah why? The horse and clothes look like a medieval game
@@SpeedyBratuha The coat.. and the gloves just give 1800's vibes, but you're right with the horse.
The first game was incredible for many, many reasons but what really set it apart was the incredibly emotional story. I love that henry always thought of his loved ones, even though they're gone. The scenes at the end were so emotional. Beautiful game.
As an European i hold KCD very dear to my hearth, its my personal fav game ever, i cannot remember the last time i felt this childlike joy and ear to ear smile while watching about an upcoming game.
Thank you Warhorse for continueing Henry's journey.
As an American, I hold KCD very dear to my heart(I don’t have a hearth). It is quite easily one of my absolute favorite games ever. I can count on one hand the total number of games that immersed me to the level that this game did.
Exactly that, I barely feel joy in games anymore and KCD really gave us immersion, a fun story and a wonderful game🫶🏼
The fact that Sir Hanush is also a creative director of this game is mind-blowing
Oh god. That is sir hanush of liepa 😂
he is also one of the founders of Warhorse studios
Come on lad, pour him a drink!
I heard the first person to beat the game gets a whole suit of armor...
He is very old you see. Several hundred years infact.
seing henry in KCD2 being a rugged person feels surreal. he grew so much from the first game
The 20 str were no joke.
He grew so much IN the first game
Strength through Herbalism. I picked every herb and flower in Bohemia.
@@vincentchang0093 yeah going from not cutting a stick with a sword to solo 20 cumans without almost no dmg 😅
That's the whole point
The first game is absolutely amazing. I am in love with it.
Henry’s well written and I like you can mold Henry into whatever you want him to be: makes me feel I like truly achieved something.
It was very selfless of Henry to not mention how hungry he was feeling during the recording
Very over used joke at this point
@@skankhunt4220 If you say so boss, I'll keep laughing at it anyway if that's okay.
@@Joe-lu4tw wasn’t hating mate you go ahead lad
He's starting to watch his metabolism in preparation for his upcoming rematch with Kunesh titled 'Debt Collection: Increased Interest Match'.
Everyone is thinking gaming is dying but I'm over here admiring one of the most passionate game developers of gaming, period.
"Gaming" isn't dying, souless corporations that don't care about their customers are dying
We must not look to the game developers of the big companys anymore , we must look for those small game develop companys
It is such a great time for video games right now. We've seen small developers create awesome games like Lethal Company and Helldivers 2 and we Medieval fans get Manor Lords in a few days and then as the cherry on the cake KCD 2 at the end of the year
@@gillonba That implies that the spirit of 'gaming' lays with the souless corporations lol
Games today only care about one thing fast paced dopamine hits. KDC is one of those rare gems where you actually stop and smell the roses (or pick up 100 of them for that extra strength point).
Charles IV, King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor, had a long and successful reign. The Empire he ruled from Prague expanded, and his subjects lived in peace and prosperity.
When he died, the whole Empire mourned. More than 7,000 people accompanied him on his last procession.
The heir to the throne of the flourishing Empire was Charles' son, Wenceslas IV, whose father had prepared him for this moment all his life. But Wenceslas did not take after his father. He neglected affairs of state for more frivolous pursuits. He even failed to turn up for his own coronation as Emperor, which did little to endear him to the Pope. Wenceslas "the Idle" did not impress the Imperial nobility either.
His difficulties mounted until the nobles, exasperated by the inaction of their ruler, turned for help to his half-brother, King Sigismund of Hungary. Sigismund decided on a radical solution. He kidnapped the King to force him to abdicate, then took advantage of the ensuing disorder to gain greater power for himself. He invaded Bohemia with a massive army and began pillaging the territories of the King's allies.
It is here that my story begins...
GRANT ME REVENGE
@@SpecialOrder935 CROM LAUGHS AT YOUR FOUR WINDS
goosebumps at this words...
Hahahaha xD
I think I heard that 19382 times ^^ But in the german version.
Seeing Henry again feels like seeing an old friend. I can't wait. KCD had so much going for it: great RPG elements, great combat, gorgeous environments. Warhorse deserved their flowers. KCD2 will be a game of the year contender if they bring the same great foundations with some more money and polish.
I still can't get over the sword play being so good. The realism and depth puts other RPGs to shame. I really hope there's a series of challenging 1v1 duels you can participate in around the map. I'd like to see more duels in the wild, like optional boss fights you could seek out for coin or reputation, or maybe multiple city tournaments like the Rattay tourney.
As a crowdfunder of KCD1... the announcement of the sequel yesterday near brought tears to my eyes. I am so excited for this and I am on pins and needles waiting on its release! Thank you Warhorse for being a studio who creates their game and then announces it within the same calendar year of release!
Thank you for funding the best game in the world.
I didn't BUT I bought the game and all the DLC's for the full price... If that counts.
Same here: perfect reveal. Never realized I missed Henry and his adventures this much!
It's evident a lot of hard work and dedication has gone into making an even more immersive and epic medieval RPG. Can't wait to dive back into Henry's story and explore this vibrant world.
If more people valued quality, above gold, this world would be a merrier place. Thank you Warhorse, thank you.
@@peebrayen6564 You have never met anyone who lived under socialism if you think capitalism is why corners get cut lol.
Legends say you can make quality product and make a lot of money at the same time. You just need do your job correctly.
The thing is, quality brings gold… Some developers tend to forget that
From someone who hardly games anymore (work, lot of responsibilities, other hobbies, health priorities) I've only ever heard of the Kingdom Come series from my brother who is an avid gamer. Randomly happened upon this video today and just wanted to say the song 11:27 - 13:13 singlehandedly convinced me to buy KCD so I can play through it on my own time and then buy KCD2 afterwards. I know fidelity of graphics, robust story, and gameplay/level of immersion is important in a great game, but to me a rich soundtrack can really elevate a great game to an incredible one.... and if this one song giving me hardcore goosebumps is an indication of what's in store, then I can't wait.... beautiful work, thanks guys.
Amen to that
Take my money, Warhorse.
Man I really hope they don't get forced to release early / broken for autumn season to make investors happy, since they are not independent anymore and Embracer is known to fire staff if something doesn't work right away. Warhorse is really going all-in with this. May the power of Christ protect this project at all costs.
Ah so they aren't fully independent... got it.
Anyways its still so much better than them being a giant company like ... bethesda
It’s a modern game. Of course it will be shit on launch purely due to the greed of investors
thank god its not a big corporate company creating it. i have faith.
@@DBigRedMan But they have investors and publishers that want their money quick. It’s always the same story
It will be broken regardless of release date. The first game was so broken I rage quit every single battle.
Beyond excited. I'll never forget the first time I traveled to Neuhof. I got lost trying to find the inn as night was approaching. No player icon on the map. Hungry. Vision getting blurry from exhaustion. And that beautiful soundtrack playing as I wandered across the moonlit fields. It was the first time I'd ever truly been lost in a game.
Is that how hardcore Mode works?
Soon as I could, I would ride out at night and look for bandits. Sneak up behind them and take all their gear. I was a very wealthy man before I even left the first town lol
@@WikterRor2807 there is only one mode. it could also happen that you would stumble through the wilderness and being too weak and would bleed to death from falling a little and wearing too heavy armour.
@@WikterRor2807 Yeah. You have to really check for shrines and such to know where you are. And after a time you will memorise the routes. Its not that hard actually and is fun
@@actionaccount8307 what do you mean there is only one mode?
I have seen this game reveal about twenty Times now and i still crack up at that Moment where Tom mcCay looks directly in the camera and with the lightning in his face and the music swelling to the climax says those magical words :" But now we can finally Show you Kingdom Come: Deliverance two!" and how he swallows the Emotion and genuine Joy right after that and the happy smile on his face gets me every time! Great Job and best wishes to the entire Team!
PLEASE release the soundtrack ahead of the game. I literally NEED to listen to this music on repeat endlessly like I did with the first one.
Yes please, I’m still into the first OST
you wouldnt enjoy it so much in the game than ... :D just be patient bro i cant wait to
Yes pleaseee 🙏
Preferably on vinyl pls, tho I'm not sure if you could reproduce it with any medieval technics :D
I contributed to the crowdfunding for KCD1 almost 10 years ago, to say I’m excited for this sequel is an understatement! I can’t wait!
That makes sense why it was very jank no matter it was fun
I hope they improve on the second one
Unlike Dragon's Dogma did for Dragon's Dogma 2 with it's gameplay don't get me wrong there was new stuff but alot of the flaws felt like they transferred over instead of patching.
I can’t wait, the first one was so different and epic!
are we allowed to make our own character or are we playing as Henry again? Tbh I'd rather play as myself, but theres no good rpg for that besides elden ring or skyrim
Thank you for trusting in a project that turned into an awesome game.
@@SuryaGupta-te7fq SKYRIM SUCKS OBLIVION IS BETTER
I'll let myself out 👣🚶♂️
You know your game is special when everyone wants to relive or re-experience what it was like being a bloody nobody during medieval Bohemia. Where a single trebuchet was this epic thing of war engineering that felt cool to witness instead of something you poop out 25 of to take a nondescript city in any strategy game.
right, and all the running around you had to do to even help get the dang thing built
@@sharptakes1662 Honestly I'm glad the game stuck to its realism instead of continuing the hype train that is the final act. Running around to find the guy to help build the trebuchet then waiting in game days was cool.
Yeah, but a very lucky nobody who gets to experience all the exciting events and can't really die permanently
@@kj34sdf4 Well, that's the limits of video game realism. Unless you tout the game to be hard-core realism, having you redo everything if you die once makes for a pretty crap RPG game.
Well for me it was a classic RPG. And it was also so refreshing that it wasn't woke.
KC:D is in my top 5 games of all time. I've played games since 1988 and this is more hype for me than GTA6. Holy shit! ❤❤❤
I live in PL near the Czech border. I have visited Kutná Hora, Trosky Castle, Bohemian Paradise many times. I believe the game creators made an excellent choice selecting locations for the second part of the game. I can't wait!
It's my dream to visit those places, or even live there :D
@@diecrab I live in Bohemian Paradise and the nature here is beautyful
I visited PRague years ago and even a castle which the Hussites put under siege. Gorgeous country I agree - I really want to go back.
Im ready to see more of the friendship between henry and hans. One of the most natural and realistic friendships in a game
I hope they expand on alot of the old characters honestly
I'm so sorry...
@@DippKlippGuy?
one thing the first game lacked was a human companion. it would be sick as fuck if at the end of the game hans knights you and you both can go around doing side quests n stuff
@@Mrwaitwhat100 Hans sides with Sigismund over the Hussite Issue.
What a refreshingly classy presentation. It seems like too often that industry folks are trying to be overly relatable and undercut the weight of their event. But at risk of being cringy, these folks made it clear how special this game is to them. Much respect.
OMG, right? This announcement video is the best one I’ve seen in ages!
Yeah I feel like "come on, there was no need to do all this for me"
I gotta say, this is the first time I've actually been hyped for a game release in YEARS
Je vais acheter une PS5 juste pour ce jeu, ça sera le premier à inaugurer ma PS5 😊
I love the part where Henry said: "I feel quite hungreh" as someone who didn't have lunch yet, he really speaks to me
unironically the most relatable thing even back then 😂
