Retailers suggest Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 may have been delayed

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 may have been delayed to next year, according to updated product listings for the game at leading US retailers.

When it was revealed in April, publisher Plaion said Warhorse Studios’ action RPG sequel would be released for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S later this year.

However, on Wednesday it emerged that retailers including Best Buy and Walmart had updated their product listings with a February 11, 2025 release date (the former has now changed its listing again to state that a release date has not been announced).

VGC has contacted Plaion to check if the game is still on track for release this year, or whether it has slipped to 2025.

A new trailer for the game is set to premiere during Gamescom Opening Night Live next Tuesday.

“Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a thrilling Action RPG, set amid the chaos of a civil war in 15th Century Bohemia,” according to an official description of the title.

“You are Henry of Skalitz – an ordinary man doing extraordinary things – caught in a gripping tale of revenge, betrayal and discovery as he embarks on an epic journey, ‘from a humble blacksmith’s forge to the court of Kings’, as he searches for purpose in this beautiful but brutal medieval world.

“From bustling city streets to lush forests, discover this open-world Medieval Europe through an unforgettable adventure filled with action, thrill and wonder.”

The sequel to 2018’s Kingdom Come: Deliverance will take place over two maps, making it double the size of the original.

Its combat system has been revamped, with new ranged weapons including crossbows and “early gunpowder weapons”.
