Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has all the gleam of the AAA RPGs like it, or the medieval armor in it, but there was a time when developer Warhorse Studios wouldn't have been able to handle the fact that the open-world sequel is releasing in the same stuffed month as high-profile games like Civilization 7.
"I think, if this happened with the first game, morale would be crushed," senior game designer Ondřej Bittner tells us. When Warhorse released the first Kingdom Come: Deliverance back in 2018, the Czech studio was independent, feeling out the future with its debut title. But after Plaion acquired Warhorse in 2019, the developer gained the opportunity to deliver glossy games with more self-assurance.
