Embracer Group announced during its first quarter financial results for fiscal year 2024-2025 that they will delay the release of “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2”. Warhorse Studio had originally promised the sequel to one of the Czech Republic’s most successful games for this year in a trailer and press releases. That’s why gamers were expecting information about when exactly during the upcoming autumn season the expected RPG will arrive. Still, according to the newly released release date, the game is unfortunately postponed until next year, namely February 11, 2025.
A Strategic Shift to February
The information appeared in a report published at 7 am on August 15. That’s the only thing currently from Embracer because of the date shift in the linked report. Aside from ironing out technical kinks, the motive is supposed to be to give the game enough space, so February is supposed to be the earliest and most convenient date.
Developer Response: Delayed But Determined
However, the Kingdom Come developers have publicly reacted to the release delay via a short video. In it, Tobias Stolz-Zwilling mentions that although the developers tried hard, they fell short of releasing it this year. But he added that at least they have a nice release date based on the anniversary week of the first episode, which was released on February 13, 2018. Furthermore, Tobi confirms that the release date reveal is just the beginning of what fans can imagine as a marathon. He recaps that the game will be at Gamescom, that a lengthy gameplay video will be released, reportedly with minimal cuts, and that impressions of actual gameplay from journalists will arrive.
Pre-orders and Collector’s Edition Tease
Kingdom Come “Pre-orders are also launching, so if you’re planning to buy the game, get your pennies ready; your time is coming,” Tobi added, revealing the Collector’s Edition packaging in the video. For now, though, we’re just seeing the giant box, which will be shown in detail at Gamescom.
Full Czech Localization for an Authentic Experience
Now, “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2” will launch at a later date for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series. The developers will include complete Czech localization, including dubbing, for domestic fans on all platforms. Warhorse recently announced that they will reveal more details about the game at Gamescom. They plan to show a short teaser during Opening Night Live, followed by a 25-minute gameplay video on August 21.
