Watch On
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 made an look at right this moment’s Opening Evening Reside showcase at Gamescom, revealing a short gameplay teaser for the upcoming sequel to the middle-ages motion RPG. Henry is again, and the world’s most plain-faced protagonist appears to have one objective in thoughts: Relentless swordfights with as many fifteenth century Bohemians as he can handle.
Henry begins the trailer getting threatened by a crown-wearing jagoff. However it’s not lengthy earlier than he escapes to do issues that heroes do, like driving a beloved steed throughout the sunset-splashed Bohemian plains, the place everybody has inexplicable British accents and each tree has Medieval Unfortunates hanging from its branches. In any other case, you would not be capable to inform that there is a civil conflict on. That is how visible storytelling works.
Henry passes by some taverns, some muddied streets, some extra idyllic fields—all of which look pretty—and at last, after one other temporary diversion within the hanging zone, we get what everyone knows Henry got here for. It is swords o’clock, and Henry introduced sufficient to share.
The competition of slashing and stabbing is temporary. Henry cocks a crossbow at one level, however solely as a formality earlier than returning to his favored pastime of putting foes with each weaponizable inch of his longsword.
When you by some means depart the teaser with an unsated starvation for bladecraft, there will be an extended Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 gameplay showcase dropping tomorrow at 9 AM CEST. I am positive there will be a lot extra swords being swung.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 releases on February 11, 2025, a brief delay from its initially deliberate 2024 window.
