Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 paid for itself in a single day after release thanks to impressive launch sales

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

Warhorse Studios' long-awaited historical open-world RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 only just came to Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and PS5 earlier this week, but in just a single day after launch, it broke even with development costs and is now turning a profit for the studio and publisher Deep Silver.

That news comes from KCD2 creative director Daniel Vávra, who confirmed the achievement in a new interview with the Czech news site SZ Byznys. Reportedly, the medieval adventure title "cost around a billion [Czech] crowns" (roughly $41.5 million USD by current exchange rates) to make; the original 2018 game, by comparison, cost 750 million crowns (about $31 million) and has made 793 million crowns in profit since its release.
